(Quad Cities)- What is more fun than drinking craft beer along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi River surrounded by your friends, interactive comedy and live music? Doing it for charity, of course!

The 18th Annual Brew Ha Ha festival is set for September 16, 2017; along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi River. Take a tour of the American brewing landscape—two ounces at a time—in LeClaire Park. From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., local, regional and national breweries will highlight their best pales, porters, IPAs and more!  

Tickets for the festival are on sale now via Eventbrite, on the Jaycees website www.jayceesqc.org/brewhaha and at Co-op Records. Your $30 ticket ($35 at the door and at Coop Records) ensures a commemorative tasting glass, live musical entertainment by Corporate Rock and The Stone Flowers and access to the park grounds for the duration of the festival. Ticket holders get priority access into the park grounds for Hoppy Hour starting at noon. This extra hour is complete with local beers available for purchase and interactive entertainment provided by Big G (Guys in Ties and Comedy Sportz)! Designated drivers be sure to stop at the Jaycees tent for your free swag as our thank you for getting your friends home safe. Individuals or groups may also sign up to volunteer at www.jayceesqc.org/brewhaha or contact Christy Bruce at president@jayceesqc.org.
