We are only a week away from the 2nd annual Brewers Ball and I can barely contain my excitement. Last year I attended this event and it was an amazing time, so much of a good time, this year I volunteered for the event.

The Brewers Ball is a beer tasting and food pairing event. $65 dollars ($60 if you preorder tickets) gets you in the door, tasting glass, all the beer you can drink and all the food you can eat. Bring your check book too, as there will be tons of amazing items being auctioned off.

To preorder your tickets go to http://www.brewersball.org.

It’s cocktail attire so come dressed in your best!
