10,000 fans of music and craft beer came together at San Diego's picturesque Waterfront Park for the sold-out 4th annual 91X Presents BeerX last Saturday, June 23. The day-long festival featured music performances from San Diego's own Slightly Stoopid (as part of their "School's Out For Summer Tour"), along with Stick Figure, Pepper, Fishbone (classic lineup), Ethan Tucker Band, Marujah and Band Of Gringos. 91X Presents BeerX also included complimentary craft beer tastings with over 150 craft beers from top breweries in Southern California and beyond (until 4:00 PM for those 21 and up), along with food and craft beer pairing demos by Sycuan Casino.
Hometown heroes Slightly Stoopid closed out the show with a career-spanning performance and were joined by special guest Chali 2Na (Jurassic 5) for their current single "Higher Now." The band also welcomed reggae legend Don Carlos as well as members of Pepper and Stick Figure to the stage later in the set.
Ronald Watt of My Firkin Beer summed up the event well, noting, "…91X BeerX festival featured some of the finest craft breweries and hottest local bands…Brew Ha Ha Productions and Synergy Global Entertainment have demonstrated over and over they know how to put together outstanding beer and music festivals. 91X presents BeerX flawlessly combined outstanding craft beer with wicked music [June 25, 2018]."
