Beat the Heat at Whole Foods Oxnard’s Beer Tasting Party

May 15, 2014 by 17 Comments

In Oxnard, the Whole Foods has a bar inside it made out of an Airstream trailer. Yeah, that’s how they roll. (Or not, since that would jostle the drinks.)

The whole store is open, bright, and breezy, but the bar is super cool. When I went there for the store opening, it really was the place to be.

Since then the store has hosted many cool live events, including trivia night inside the little bar. This weekend there will be a special beer tasting featuring Figueroa Mountain Brewery and Margerum Wine Co.

Enjoy a sample and join in on the celebration with special food pairings and a festive atmosphere.

I’ve been to enough Whole Foods events now that I can tell you without a doubt that this will be delightful. And it’s Oxnard, so it’s bound to be 10 degrees cooler there.
