The 5th Annual Los Angeles Beer Festival, brought to you by Drink Eat Play, returns for another day filled with beer, food, and music. The event will feature dozens of international and domestic beers, LA’s most popular food trucks, and two great bands.
Entertainment
Metal Shop: A funny Spinal Tap type parody on the 80s and early 90s hair band era. Group covers material by Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Quiet Riot, Poison, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, and many more.
Howl at the Moon: Known as the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll dueling piano show.
Black Crystal Wolf Kids: The world’s first indie-rock tribute band, paying costumed, audience-participation-friendly homage to the best Coachella-friendly music of both right now (MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix) and indie-rock’s storied past (The Pixies and Pavement).
Tickets include unlimited beer and parking, food is sold separately. There are three free lots, one on Gower north of Melrose, and two on Van Ness north of Melrose. There will be an after party at Wirtshaus, show your wristband and get a free Bavarian pretzel!

A music fest for the rest of us: BROKECHELLA returns with its 3rd edition in the heart of DTLA to once again serve all of those who don’t have the dough for a weekend in the desert.
Don’t miss what the LA Times recognized as the community experience that skips “the mortal terror of your credit card statement [at other festivals]” and “revels in staying at home.” Doubling in size year to year, BROKECHELLA 2013 is sure to yet again swarm with a giant crowd, the best of acts from LA and beyond, mouth-watering eats and surprises galore. Last year’s Main Stage featured Infantree, LA Font, Rumspringa, Big Moves and yOya, among others. Inside, bands played all day to packed crowds, while DJs led an army of dance fiends at the Jarritos stage outside. Come be a part of the oh-so-cheap magic, all happening on 4/20/13.
