Get Your Tickets for Acadiana Brew Haha!

Come on in for Acadiana Brew Haha, an event that is all about the history and culture of beer and brewing in Louisiana! 

 We've got so many great beers coming from right here at home, including several new breweries that have just opened in the past few years. Acadiana Brew Haha is designed to give you a taste of what's brewing right here at home, and meet some of the people that make the magic happen. Acadiana Brew Haha includes our region's craft, micro, nano, and homebrewers, and you to see what's on tap in Louisiana!  

All ticket-holders will receive this year's official souvenir mug, to handle your tastings all day! And of course, you'll want to make your preferences known, so each guest will have a ticket to vote for the coveted People's Choice award. The other, Acadiana Brew Haha 2023! will be determined by a panel of *very* auspicious judges!

The day will also feature panel discussions, workshops, presentations on beer and brewing, and great music!

Music by Ask for Ashley, and Corey Ledet Zydeco! 

And if the Brew HaHa just whets your whistle for local libations, we also have tickets on sale for the Gator Cove Get Down later in the evening, featuring locally distilled rums and too much fun, 5-10 PM. Purchase both for $40 ($5 savings)

Tickets $40 for both events, $20, Brew Haha Tasting, $10 for designated drivers (mug not included) -- buy them down below! (Tickets also available at the door)
