With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today during our fall member drive. 

Obviously, so long as you follow state and local laws, you can drink beer whenever you want. But if you want to do so as part of a larger celebration of beer culture in Los Angeles and Orange counties, you may want to mark your calendar for October 10-23 for the return of LA Beer Week.

We don't mean to be a tease, but as DrinkEatTravel tempts, the third annual event will include a whole lotta brew-centric gatherings and happenings, including: "a kick off event, Dionicess event at Steingarten LA, Beer Float Showdown by FoodGPS.com and a beer art show." A big festival is slated for the last day at Union Station, and tickets for that event will be on sale soon.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
