That's right it's back! Once again, WYES gives us a great reason to drink a lot of beer. Drinking beer for a good cause? I'm in!
For the last 28 years WYES has been helping fund Cookie Monsters cookie habit by throwing you a beer festival. The past 3 years they've added the Friday night Private Beer Sampling which has become a huge success. The regular event will be held at the Lakefront Arena as usual but there has been a change of venue this year for the Private Event which has been moved to the Fairgrounds versus being at NOLA Brewing like in previous years. I haven't seen the beer list yet but if it's anything like last year we're in for a real treat! I'll send out an update as soon as I see it.
Here is the information I do have:

No tickets for the Friday event to give away?
No the Friday event is such a limited event they really aren't able to do giveaways for that day. The Friday event generally sells out pretty quickly too.
Cheers!
