Breweries, let’s get ready to rumble.
Hotel Congress is hosting the eighth annual Born & Brewed local beer battle from 7 – 10 p.m. on Saturday, September 14.
Every year, some of the city’s best breweries throw down in a friendly battle, while hoping to earn the title of Tucson’s Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice — which means you’ve got a handful of beers to taste this year.
General Admission tickets are $40 and VIP Admission is $100 per person.
Each ticket includes beer tastings and a commemorative glass, but different food menus — which will be served by Cup Café. Other perks are included in the VIP Admission.
