Here's the SweetWater 420 Fest Schedule!

The legendary George Clinton is funkin' it up tonight at 420!
I will make this one short and Sweet. (I couldn't help myself.) Anyway, below is the ridiculous line up for this year's SweetWater 420 Fest! Although it starts off officially on Friday at 4:20 p.m. in the afternoon, I have the honor of being a part of the beer panel this evening at 7:00 p.m. on Craft Beer in the Social Media World co-starring Draft Magazine's Trevor Cravens, Reid Ramsey from Beer Street Journal and Steve Farace, SweetWater's Minister of Propaganda. Come check a brother out! (By the way, the beer dinner SweetWater did with Big Tex was another banger! Look for pictures in a few.) But for now, get in where you fit with all of the activities planned for the weekend including a performance by the Father of Funk, George Clinton with the Parliament Funkadelic. Oooooowwwwwwww!
Read on for the official info...
