Plateau Brewing Company kicked off the first of what it hopes to be an annual event, Plateauberfest, a family friendly craft beer, music, barbecue and arts festival.
"It's been a big success so far," Plateau co-founder Michael Choate said.
Located at 214 S. Chadbourne St., the brewery is locally-owned and operated, and is also home to Southern Smoke BBQ, offering such goodies as smoked pretzels with homemade beer cheese and homemade brats, in addition to traditional Texas barbecue.
The fest will continue until 5 p.m. Saturday, and also features activities for children hosted by San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts.
Patrons are invited to bring two shelf-stable canned goods to the event to receive $1 off their first pint of PBC craft beer or $3 off the purchase of a commemorative stein, which comes with two refills. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Plateau Brewing Co. German beers sold at the event will be donated to the food bank.
“Plateauberfest is all about celebrating craft beer, the good people who live and work here and lifting up the local food bank,” Luke Horton, a co-founder of Plateau Brewing Co., said. “Load up the kids, text your friends and invite your in-laws to come on down for our first big event. We can’t wait to welcome you.”
