Long lines formed early on for tastes of beers such as Anaheim’s Brewheim Beer Makers’ blueberry cheesecake-flavored Joos’d Up smoothie sour and Newport Beach’s Chihuahua Cerveza’s Guava-Lime was a hit on the hot and sunny summer day in the park.
Brew Ha Ha Productions’ first event since 2020 was its inaugural Silverado Showdown at Oak Canyon Park, though state mandates had not been fully lifted to allow for beer tasting at that time. The company’s next events will be the annual Brew Hee Haw at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa Friday, July 23-Saturday, July 24 and the Punk in the Park music and craft beer fest, featuring Pennywise, NOFX, the Vandals, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and more, Saturday, Nov. 6 and Sunday, Nov. 7 at Oak Canyon Park.
