Outside Lands
Get excited! The organizers of this year’s Outside Lands, happening August 10 to 12, will be setting up the first-ever, much-anticipated Beer Lands tent. How did this take so long we wonder? In charge of the program is Dave McLean, owner of Magnolia Brewery and the Alembic. He’s selected 30 local California craft beers representing 16 breweries. Watch your back Metallica and David Cross — this may steal the show. Keeping it classy for fans is the return of Wine Lands, featuring over 30 local wines with Jardinière sommelier Eugenio Jardim and Cavallo Point’s Gillian Balance at the helm.
