The scale of Outside Lands can be a little daunting. Festival maps are crucial to find your way around, but even more so is defining a boomerang spot — a location everyone returns to when you loose people in your group. My advice: Pick somewhere you like and that isn’t a stage and that you’ll want to hang out, like Beer Lands.
The outdoor beer garden is an impressive spot featuring over 30 different brewers pouring a grand total of 64 different beers. Organized by
Magnolia Brewery’s Dave McLean, the tented area features something for everyone, with a strong focus on sessionable beers (lighter beers you can drink all day) all brewed in California.
To help us navigate the large number of beers, we called up McLean (the beer organizer for the event) himself all little guidance, organized by scenarios you’re likely to encounter into on the festival grounds.
