(One such lesson: throw the festival in a city like San Diego that is far less likely to face sudden lightning storms.) The brewery list was impressive, the bands were fantastic (shout out to Arson Daily!), and, quite thankfully, the number of attendants was kept at limited capacity due to ongoing pandemic precautions, so lines were kept limited, spacing was maximized, and the experience of attending the festival was very enjoyable. Admittedly, Untappd’s first attempt at a festival in Charlotte did not go very well, but they clearly learned a lot of lessons from their mistakes and put together a very well-organized, well-executed beer fest at Petco Park.

Untappd Beer Festival happened in San Diego October 1st and 2nd, and we were fortunate enough to get to attend both days. Words can’t express how excited we were to get to attend our first major in-person beer festival last weekend.
