StrangeBrew BeerFest #5: "The Strange, The Weird, and the Skunky". The concept is simple: Local breweries are invited to create a "strange brew" a unique beer that no one has ever tasted. Beer will be sampled, Spaghetti Western get-ups will be proudly worn, BBQ will be served, tasting glasses will be provided, t-shirts will be shamelessly promoted, and everyone will get tickets to vote for their favorite Strange Brew. Plus: beer games, music by the The No Good Redwood Ramblers and Sumbitch all under the watchful eye of emcee Chuck Rogers of The Point. All proceeds benefit Eureka Theater restoration projects. Pre-sale tickets are available online or at the Eureka Theater Box Office
