What do you get when you mix the best burgers in L.A. with the best beers?
Answer: Our second annual Burgers & Beer Festival, which will feature all-you-can-eat burger bites from more than 30 of L.A.'s favorite restaurants and craft brew samples from more than three dozen of Southern California's best breweries. Spaceland Presents is curating the live music line-up, which features the High Life Cajun Band, Nocona and Vug Arakas. Last year's event was a smashing success, and we can't wait to fire up the grill for another round. It's all going down at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, July 30, from 3 to 7 p.m.
General-admission tickets include unlimited burger samples, craft beer samples, live music and access to the vendor village, while VIP tickets include all of the general-admission perks plus exclusive gift bags and one hour early entry. But hurry: General admission tickets are on sale for $75 and VIP tickets are $90. Planning to bring a crew? Purchase the Burgers & Beers Buddy Puck and get four general admission tickets for your whole squad for just $219 — a savings of $80.
Curated by L.A. Weekly food writer Garrett Snyder and resident beer editor Sarah Bennett, this year's festival will offer many tantalizing names. Here's the final, mouth-watering lineup.
