For beer lovers tired of all these wine tasting events, your time has finally come! A couple weekends ago, the Pine Meadows Lawn of the Autry National Center was the site of the first annual Brew Haw Haw. A few dozen microbreweries and brewpubs represented at the beer tasting festival, and some great catering was provided to soak up all the beer. Live entertainment was provided by Bill Dwyer, who you may know from watching VH1's "I love the whatever decade" specials (and if you don't, then maybe it's time to buy a TV). There was live music by Blackstone Heist, Lilly Carrico and Mark Radcliffe. If that's not enough for you, the event was a fundraiser benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to which taken many of our friends before their time. Bob Flanagan, this Bud's for you.




Elise: So you are a beer (and ale) hound? Cool.
Thanks for not mentioning the new rainbow of flavors from Budweiser. Seriously.
Wait...who is this hot "facebook" guy? Was he there promoting facebook?
I wish I would have known about it when it happened.
There must be some way for an Angeleno to stay informed about the various events in town. Hmmm...I wonder....maybe some community themed blog that gives people a head-up?
We did, but you missed it:

But yeah, that would be easy to miss among the many posts here on LAist. That said, we are currently working on something to help give a better heads up for cool events. Stay tuned!
I recommend an iCal or Gcal calendar that we can subscribe to.
Bingos: I am currently going insane with all the microbrews in Alaska. Woohoo!
"Hot Facebook Guy" is someone one of our contributors met at a Facebook conference, which we had covered the week before.
