4th Annual Queen City Brewers Festival

When: Sat., Jan. 31, 1-4 & 6-9 p.m. 2015

Queen City Brewers Festival filled up Neighborhood Theatre for two years in a row and then Silver Hammer Studios, before moving on to Bojangles’ Coliseum, a bigger location for this year’s drinking fiesta. There’s plenty of tastings from Charlotte area breweries. Plus, there are two time slots to choose from — do you prefer an afternoon buzz or an evening buzz? (Anita Overcash)
