Yep, Humboldt’s biggest beer festival is back, baby, offering unlimited samples of hundreds of different micro-brews in a swanky commemorative glass (don’t drop yours — you only get one), plus Indian tacos, hot dogs and sausages, barbecued wings, kettle corn, Mexican food and more to keep you steady. There’s also live music from Melange, The Beer Scouts and The Undercovers. Plus, vendor booths, swag and more. VIP ticket holders get in early to beat the crowds.

Heads up, Humboldt: While the county’s masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and “avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces.”

COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
