BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
On Saturday October 17th from noon to 5:00pm, Oakland's Linden Street Brewery is partnering with Oakland's premier service club, The Rotary Club of Oakland, and Bay Area Community Services (BACS) for a first ever "BRATS & BEER, A Benefit for Oakland" family festival and fundraiser at the Linden Street Brewery parking lot. Featured will be Linden Street's beloved "Urban People's Lager" and the Brewery's newest release, "Burning Oak Black Lager", which will be served to you by Oakland Rotarians.
Feast on orchard wood grilled pork & chicken bratwursts, mini pizzas, soft shell tacos, and other organic delectables, including vegetarian options, prepared by the chefs from BACS' Social Enterprise Kitchen. Join hundreds of your friends and neighbors for Oakland's best hometown brew; enjoy local farm-to-you food; dance to the sounds of local Blues artists, Rick Baskin & Friends; visit with some of your favorite farmers and grocers; learn about "Meals for Change" locally sourced catering options and refrigerated "grab and go" entrees coming soon to local grocery stores; then lift your glasses to Oakland's spirit of service. For kids and teetotalers, the chefs will also be serving their refreshing mint julep iced tea and a delightful fresh fruit ambrosia. All proceeds benefit BACS' Thanksgiving holiday food basket distribution, and the Oakland Rotary Community Endowment.
