The event has provided a fun and entertaining venue for brewers and beer lovers to share in the growing popularity of microbrew beers, while raising funds for children's charities in the greater Sacramento area. The event is organized and promoted by the Rotary Club of Point West-Sacramento and supports schools and students by providing premier mentors for high risk students, both to keep them in school, and to prepare them to play a valuable role in our community.

We also sponsor a professional beer judging/competition, featuring awards in 13 categories. It is conducted by the Gold Country Brewers Association whose judges are trained and certified through the Beer Judge Certification Program.
