Louisiana Beer Fest Returns to Lake Charles!

Beer.  Now that I have your attention..(sorry for the old joke). Saturday May 19th at the Civic Center the Louisiana Beer Fest returns to the Lake Charles Civic Center.

Beer has been a favorite beverage here in the Lake Area forever, but in the past couple of years imports and craft beers have enjoyed a huge surge in popularity. When you attend the Louisiana Beer Fest, you'll get an opportunity to sample some of these great beers. Many people at our last Beer Fest discovered that they now have a new favorite beer.

What can you expect?
