Greer's OC

The OC Brew Ha Ha is hailed as the best craft beer festival in Orange County, and who are we to argue with that? It’s the place for beer enthusiasts to convene Saturday at Hidden Valley Park in Irvine, and a portion of the proceeds will go to Fallen Firefighters Foundation, in remembrance of 9/11.

More than 60 breweries will be bringing 150 crafted and import beers for you to sample. Also, enjoy foods, entertainment, and learn more about craft beers at seminars.

A $40 general admission ticket (noon to 3 p.m.) will buy you a keepsake festival glass, ten 4 oz. tastes, soda and water. A $55 VIP ticket will get you an extra hour from (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), plus four additional tastes, and an exclusive seminar with renowned beer expert Dr. Bill Stone.

Or, you can attend as a “designated driver” for just $10 with a guest. OC Brew Ha Ha is at 8800 Irvine Center Drive in Irvine. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit http://ocbrewhaha.com/ or call 949.363.1774.
