Craft Beer has evolved. And we know your tastes have too.
So, after 15 years of bringing you one of the region's best beer festivals, the original West Coast Brew Fest, we put together our collective minds to develop the next evolution - a Craft Brew Event where you can focus on the quality of the brew, on the talent of the brewer, on the wonder of the Golden Age of Beer.
Imagine a day of tokenless brew tasting where you can truly take your time to enjoy the art of the brew, the master craftsmanship in every batch, and the game-changing influence the West Coast brewing community has had on the entire beer industry.
The West Coast Invitational is more than a brew fest. It is an invitation only collective of a select group of amazing breweries brought together for your pure enjoyment.
Here are just a few of the key features:

No Tokens, Ever!
Brewfests can be great, but buying additional tokens is a pain and a waste. WCI is Tokenless. You pay for your ticket and enjoy a full afternoon of craft beer tasting. |
Over 100 Brews, Ciders and Meads!
Our select group of craft breweries are bringing some of their best creations for you to enjoy with Unlimited pours for four hours. And, if you go VIP, you might just get access to something even more unique. |
Having Fun, for the Right Reason
We're not doing this for our health. Or yours. We are doing this to benefit amazing local non-profits like the Robla Education Foundation. You can learn more here... |
