The fifth annual California Craft Beer Summit and Beer Festival, Sept. 12-14 in Long Beach, is the premier event for the craft beer community across the West Coast.

The hands-on expo and educational sessions will connect you with the leaders in brewing -- including David Walker, Vinnie & Natalie Cilurzo, and Kim Jordan-- and provide an opportunity to talk to over 150 vendors and providers conducting business in the craft beer industry.

The three-day event ends in a celebration: the largest California craft beer festival. More than 170 breweries pour special releases and hard to find beers from across California at Marian Green Park, Long Beach on Saturday, Sept. 14.
