SACRAMENTO – Seven thousand beer lovers braved the wind and rain in downtown Sacramento for the 14th annual Capitol Beer Fest.
Rain or shine, this event happens the first week of March.
While people up in the Sierra are hunkering down in the snow, thousands of people in Sacramento were out in the rain and wind for a great time and a great cause.
“It’s a great nonprofit. All the money goes to after-school youth fitness programs,” said Bill Grossman with Full Circle Brewing.
Capitol Beer Fest is put on by the Runnin’ for Rhett Youth Fitness Program.
“Runnin’ for Rhett was established in memory of my son Rhett who passed away in 2004 from cerebral palsy,” said Randy Seevers, owner of Runnin’ for Rhett.
“Let’s support Sacramento, let’s support this great event and I’m here to support and encourage but just remember drink responsibly. That’s what life is all about,” said Sacramento resident Daniel Cain.
The sold-out event brought 7,000 people to Capitol Mall, it was quite a windy day, but no one seemed to mind.
