It's the dawn of a new, caffeinated era as we bring you the beer & coffee laden extravaganza that is the 4th annual Carnival of Caffeination: Pastrypalooza edition. On February 8th, a meticulously selected cadre of incredibly bad-ass brewers and roasters will occupy San Diego's Liberty Station North Promenade for a day of pure, liquid magnificence.
You'll be able to avail yourself of unlimited 1-2oz pours from a jaw-dropping arsenal of dark, coffee-centric, and barrel-aged beers alongside a king's ransom of dazzling coffee-creations from some of the most boss-level roasters in the universe. Whether you're a beer or coffee fan, prepare for a day of pure bliss. If you're both, prepare for nirvanic levels of sensory pleasure.
We'll have a treasure trove of culinary delights on-hand (including vegan options), in addition to water stations and a stunning array of the sauciest merch you've ever laid eyes on.
Modern Times Coffee will be creating a special coffee blend only available to our subscribers and attendees of the festival. A VIP ticket will include a 12oz bag of this limited coffee, and there will be a few bags left for sale at the festival.
All profits from this wonderland of beverage-craft will go to BikeSD, a non-profit at the forefront of making San Diego a better, more sustainable place to ride as well as our friends at the Climate Action Campaign.
