SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER - BREW, Shreveport-Bossier’s premier beer tasting event, will take place in Festival Plaza on Saturday, October 15, 2011, from 3 until 7 pm. BREW, a collaboration between the Mudbug Madness Festival and the Red River Revel, is presented by Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport.
Enjoy tasting over 80 domestic, foreign and home-brewed beers provided by local distributors and home brew clubs. Go to www.shreveportbrew.com for a complete list and description of the beers provided by Glazer’s Distributing, Eagle Distributing, Red River Beverage, the Malt Munching Mash Monsters, S.U.D.S., and East Texas Brewer’s Guild. BREW provides the opportunity to taste some great beers consumers may have seen but not purchased due to unfamiliarity or price points.
BREW will also feature delicious samples of favorite dishes from local restaurants like Columbia Café, Ernest’s Orleans, Eldorado Resort, Overtime Sports Bar, Shaver’s Crawfish & Catering and more.
While sipping and tasting, attendees can also enjoy the music of Earshot Graffiti with Earshot Hornz or watch their favorite team play football on one of the many big screens throughout the site.
Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased at www.shreveportbrew.com beginning Monday, August 29. Reserved tables for 10 are available at $1,000 each and come with extra goodies and, of course, reserved seating!
The event’s planners are also excited to offer a Spiegelau Beer Connoisseur Tasting Seminar just before the opening of BREW. This $25 seminar will forever change the way you think about serving and enjoying craft beer. Learn firsthand how color, clarity, aroma, temperature and effervescence are all dramatically enhanced with Spiegelau glasses versus the standard beer glass. Come enjoy craft beer the way it was intended and go home with a beautiful Spiegelau Beer Connoisseur 4-piece set to keep. Tickets are also available at www.shreveportbrew.com.
Come join the fun and Revel in the Madness!
