I received an e-mail from Constance Aguilar at
Buckbean Brewery--as I'm sure some of you other beer bloggers have as well--and wanted to pass it along to those who would like to sample and review their products. One catch: you'll either have to contact me for her e-mail address or them through their site as I don't want to publish her e-mail without permission. Here you go:

BUCKBEAN BREWING COMPANY GEARS UP FOR A SUMMER OF EVENTS, ADVENTURE RACING AND FESTIVALS GALORE
Reno, NV (May 4, 2009) --Reno’s only package microbrewery, Buckbean Brewing Company, is gearing up for the summer with a calendar packed full of events sure to please anyone with a love for beer, the outdoors and community.
To kick-off the season, Buckbean announced its partnership with the Big Blue Adventure Racing Series, the largest adventure racing competition on the West coast produced by the well-known adventure racing company 7th Wave Productions. The two entities will travel the West Coast together and provide canned beer for competitors at all 7th Wave Production events, including all Big Blue Adventure Series races. They will be co-promoting each other’s events as well as working on additional partnerships throughout the year.
“We believe it’s a perfect match for our northern California expansion as adventure racing and canned beer are a good fit,” said Buckbean co-owner Douglas Booth.
Buckbean will kick-off the summer in Davis, Cali., May 30, for the 5th annual Citizens Who Care Beerfest. This event, which attracted more than 400 patrons last year, benefits the needs of senior citizens in the regional Northern California area. Buckbean joins more than 30 regional breweries for this year’s event, complete with food, live music and a raffle.
The following summer months are packed with festivals, beginning in June with the 4th Annual Truckee Optimist Brew Fest, Saturday, June 13. About 20 breweries and cider distributors will be represented, paired with live music, food, a silent auction and more. All proceeds support Truckee youth programs and scholarships.
June 27-28, Buckbean will participate in the Great Eldorado BBQ, Brews and Blues Festival for the second year in a row. The festival, which takes over North Virginia Street, kicks off the downtown summer festival line-up, and will feature BBQ food hot off the outdoor charbroil grill, live entertainment and microbreweries from around the world.
Finally, Buckbean will travel to Placerville for the Bell Tower Brew Fest, June 27, featuring more than 30 different microbrews and free entertainment.
July 31, Aug 1-2, Buckbean will head down to Mammoth Lakes, California for the 14th Annual Mammoth Festival of Beers & Bluesapalooza. Set in the pristine mountain area adjacent to Yosemite National Park, the three-day weekend will showcase 70 of the best microbreweries in the country and feature top blues performers.
In the tradition of last year, Buckbean will also be at the Battle Born Derby Demons home games, May 30, June 27, July 11, Aug. 22 and Sept. 26, for some girl-on-girl roller skating action in the heart of downtown Reno.
