The California Brewers Festival is coming up on September 11th and we’ve got your chance to attend – for free! This year marks the 16th year of the festival which will include more than 150 microbrews from more than 60 brewers across the country. With live entertainment from Velvet Tongue and Utz! and the Shuttlecock’s and food options galore, this is not an event to be missed. I can attest to this, having been to the event in the past – what’s better than a sunny day in Sacramento, a microbrew in hand, live music and a bevy of delicious food to choose from? Here’s how you can attend for free: leave a comment here on SacFoodies or on the SacFoodies Facebook page telling us your favorite food and beer pairing. We’ll choose one winner to receive a pair of tickets to the festival this Thursday at 3:00 p.m.

Anthony Bourdain Coming to Sacramento!
I would guess that 90 percent of my DVR is queued to record various shows on the Food Network, Bravo and, dare I say it… MTV. However, there is one foodie show on the Travel Channel that I absolutely adore and that is “No Reservations” with Anthony Bourdain. For those of you that are Bourdain fans like me, you will be excited to hear that he is coming to Sacramento! Bourdain will be hosting a lecture on travel and food at Sacramento’s Memorial Auditorium on September 17. Tickets to the lecture are $36.50 and are available at the Sacramento Convention Center Box Office, or online at www.tickets.com. (Photo courtesy of Flickr user srlasky)
