Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Beer fests are cool and all, but why they’ve become synonymous with “Let’s get fucking loaded, buddy, and embarrass the entire human race by acting like an ill-mannered ass clown” is beyond our comprehension.
If you’re looking for some fun times at a beer blowout minus the general douchelordery, hit up Bloomin’ Beerfest at Irish Cultural Center. The third annual festival of suds is a sophisticated celebration – we don’t expect anyone to piss his or her pants at this one – that “combines the fine old Irish tradition of Bloomsday with the fine new American tradition of a beer tasting.” The shindig will also feature a 105th anniversary celebration of Leopold Bloom’s fictional journey through the streets of Dublin in the James Joyce novel Ulysses.
