We have received confirmation of our first beer donations! Lazy Magnolia Brewery in Mississippi will be donating 3 brews, andMarsala Beverage in Monroe will be donating 4! These are not your average brews, so join us October 1 to taste the night away.
What is Artoberfest? NCLAC is organizing our first ever Artoberfest. In keeping with the traditional Oktoberfest in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, NCLAC’s Artoberfest will feature good music, good food, good beer, and good fun.
When and Where A premier fundraising event for the North Central Louisiana Arts Council, Artoberfest will take place October 1, 2010 in the Ruston Historic Firehouse.
Activities Beer-tasting will be the highlight of the evening. NCLAC is currently soliciting donations of beer from big-name Louisiana breweries, such as Abita, and from smaller, boutique breweries throughout Louisiana and the south.
Executive Director Leigh Anne Chambers said, “We want to offer local and area residents a taste of something new.”
With that goal in mind, NCLAC will also include a German Food Cook-off and a “Best of the Region” appetizer contest, including all the best bar food and appetizers from participating restaurants.
NCLAC is looking forward to an exciting, fun-filled evening, and we hope you will join us.
