Bottoms Up at Brew HaHa

The 19th annual Brew HaHa beer-tasting and entertainment fundraiser event is set for Friday, January 24 at 8 p.m at John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks. Brew HaHa has more than 100 types of beer available for unlimited tastings and live music by electronic hip-hop group Vokab Kompany.

The event raises critical funding for the Sierra Arts Foundation in Northern Nevada. In 2013, Brew HaHa raised more than $37,000, allowing Sierra Arts Foundation to provide support for area artists and community arts programs, such as Arts in Education, the Elder Care Concert Series, and the Arts Integration Project.

General admission tickets include all-you-can-responsibly-enjoy tastings, including many seasonal and microbrew varieties that beer connoisseurs won’t be able to try anywhere else. A VIP ticket allows attendees access an hour early, along with a pre-event opportunity to speak with the brewers themselves. Both VIP and general admission tickets include a commemorative beer pint tumbler.

Brew HaHa tickets are available online at janugget.com, or by calling 800-843-2427. Tickets are $50 for general admission and $65 for VIP. Ticket prices increase by $10 if purchased at the door on the day of the event. Fifty percent of the ticket purchase price is tax-deductible.
