Finally! It’s time for LA Beer Week

Tomorrow marks the first day of LA Beer Week 2012, and we have trained hard for this event, drinking lots, and lots of beer. And while it’s called LA Beer “Week” – it’s actually 10 days where participating vendors all across Los Angeles celebrate craft beer with events ranging from beer float competitions to store openings and celebrations, ending with the LA Beer Week Festival on September 30.

Because there’s just so much going on and everyone has compiled their lists of must-haves on the event side of things for LA Beer Week, so why reinvent what they’ve already written? Visit the following websites for the down-low on LA Beer Week highlights:
