Helping others feels good, but helping others while tossing back a few cold ones sure feels better.

Enter Brews to Benefit. Sponsored by the Phoenix New Times, it's part happy hour, part charity event, and one pretty good deal. Held from 6 to 8 p.m. once a month at a different drinking establishment around town, attendees pay just $10 to enjoy a hosted bar serving up that month's featured brew all while a portion of the proceeds go to benefit a local charity.

And if last month's sold-out event was an indication of Brews to Benefit's popularity, you'll want to score tickets to the March event, at Tempe's Yucca Tap Room, pronto-like.

The next Brews to Benefit happy hour will take place from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, March 7, at the Yucca Tap Room in Tempe. Proceeds will go to Ear Candy, a non-profit music organization dedicated to providing youth access to music education.

Tickets are $10 and go on sale tomorrow, Thursday, February 21. For more details or to purchase tickets, go the the Brews to Benefit website.

Here's the rest of the schedule:

Thursday, April 4th -- Rosie McCaffrey's Thursday, May 2nd -- Lucky Strike Thursday, June 6th -- O.H.S.O. Wednesday, July 3rd -- Brat Haüs Thursday, August 1st -- The Rose & Crown Thursday, September 5th -- Hula's Modern Tiki Thursday, October 3rd -- The Handlebar & Grill
