Beer festivals in Los Angeles don't always come at a premium. If you've ever been to a beer festival in Los Angeles, chances are you've had the same 'ol same 'ol. But Beer Fest for Beer Geeks is here to present something new. The Rare Experience beer festival takes place outside of Stout Burgers & Beers Studio City from 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm on Saturday, November 19, 2016. No, you don't have to be a beer geek to know that rare beer is hard to come by. Whether you're a beer geek or just a casual beer drinker, anyone would appreciate a rare brew. Try beers from over 20 breweries State wide, pouring a variety of beers such as sours, barrel-aged and wild ales — all rare or unique one-offs.
We're giving away a pair of tickets to this years festival, and all you have to do is go on Facebook and like our page. Then tag a friend in the comments who you wanna take with you to the festival. Winner will be announced Friday, November 4th. Good Luck!
