Taste of Brews presented its Twilight Tasting event on Saturday evening, hosting hundreds of guests eager to sample this season's up and coming beverages. The event, which took place at the Lyon Air Museum at John Wayne Airport, took guests on a delectable journey sampling craft beers, wines and light bites. The Mardi Gras-themed event showcased the greatly anticipated spring microbrews, which featured tastes of pear and apple hard ciders and beers. Bourbon Street beads were presented to each guest upon their arrival along with a complimentary tasting glass to carry them through the evening.

Guests could enjoy live music and the sights and stories behind the historic aircrafts displayed inside the museum while perusing the walkways lined with savory samplers and sweeter selections. Proceeds from the evening benefitted We ROCK (We Run OC Kids), Make a Wish OC, Working Wardrobes and Next Up Foundation.

Aside from ticket sales, proceeds from the silent auction and raffle played a huge role in raising support for these local organizations. The relaxed ambiance set an enjoyable tone for the evening, which brewed up conversations between friends new and old, who could walk freely throughout the venue or sit back and relax.

Twenty craft breweries, including Lagunitas, Noble and Stone, and 5 restaurants from Stonefire Grill, to Whole Foods were featured, including a selection of wines, ciders, spirits, and bakery items. The evening was full of hearty conversations and even richer palettes. To tantalize your taste buds, be sure to check out the next Taste of Brews event, taking place April 19 in the Inland Empire.
