Brew Something La Hosts The Beauty Of The Barrel An La Beer Week Celebration Of Barrel-aged Beer And Spirits Benefiting The Virginia Avenue Project

Who: Brew Something LA and The Victorian bring you an event unlike any you've experienced. Not only will ten breweries all be pouring barrel-aged beer, but four distillers will be bringing barrel-aged spirits. In addition, every brewery in attendance will have unlimited pours of their core product. Four bartenders will also create four distinct craft cocktails that feature both a barrel-aged spirit and a barrel-aged beer.

What: Distillers have long been aging their spirits in barrels and brewers have long been aging their beers in those very same barrels. It's now time to enjoy both barrel-aged spirits and barrel-aged beers in one place at one time. All ticketed attendees will receive a 4oz pour of every barrel-aged beer not featured in a cocktail as well as a full serving of each available cocktail. Ticket price also entitles purchasers to unlimited pours of core brewery product (while supplies last). Brewers, brewery reps and distillery reps will be in attendance to pour their wares and chat about their products. Net proceeds benefit local charity, The Virginia Avenue Project.
