Less than a month remains before the kick-off of the 4th LA Beer week! The celebration of all-things craft beer has grown every year, and this year looks to continue that trend with a week of events at local establishments and breweries that culminates at the signature Beer Festival at Downtown’s historic Union Station. You do not want to miss this party.

Traditionally in October, LA Beer Week 2012 was moved up a couple of weeks this year so it wouldn’t conflict with the Great American Beer Festival in Colorado. The week of celebrations starts off on Thursday September 20th with events around town, and the party continues until the epic closing festival on September 30th.

Tickets to the event run $50 and get you four hours of unlimited pours from over 70 breweries ranging from local Los Angeles operations to international brands. A fleet of food trucks will help fill your belly, and local artisans will be on hand to sell their wares. Recent beer events in LA have been selling out more often and more quickly, so don’t wait too long to get your tickets to this event!

More special events are being announced every day, and the full schedule should be in-place by the first week of September. It should be a great week of celebrating craft beer and the expanding scene in LA, and we’re like kids before Christmas waiting for September 20th!
