PHOTOS: Beer Fest Hosts California Breweries, Aficionados

Delicious craft brews washed over hundreds of discerning beer palates in the heat of the lot outside Left Coast Brewery in San Clemente Saturday during the local brewer's annual beer festival.

Patrons received tiny plastic steins and a bracelet with tabs to break off as they sampled the dozens of handcrafted beers presented from brewers all over the state.

The Aloha Radio surf rock group headlined the musical entertainment at the ever-popular spring festival sponsored by the San Clemete Chamber of Commerce.
