Burgers And Beer Finally Get Their Own Food Festival

There's a new upcoming food festival that focuses on two things Americans love: burgers and beer. LA Weekly's Burgers & Beer runs 3 to 7 p.m. on August 8 at the L.A. Coliseum. Entry to the fest includes all you can eat burgers and all you can drink beer—no tickets or separate purchases required.
You can expect burgers from 35 restaurants including Grill 'Em All, Cassell's, Pink's, Animal, Barrel & Ashes, Bouchon and Silver Lake's relatively new Hache LA, among others. There are also over 40 breweries showing up, including Angel City, Kinetic, Drake's, San Francisco's Anchor Brewing, and Ommegang.
Presale tickets are $65, and they're $80 at the door. VIP ticket holders ($85, presale) can get into the event an hour early. You can also get a VIP 'burger-only' ticket for $45 presale/$60 at the door that will allow you to stuff your face with burgers, but no beer. The event is 21+.
