Autry National Center of the American West

Beer Tasting

Saturday October 18th
6:30–9:00 pm

TastingThe Autry National Center of the American West ushers in the fall with a toast to spirits and songs with the second of a three-part food series titled Wine, Whiskey, and Song. Enjoy dinner provided by Cheers Catering Inc., live music by a local band, and learn what makes a quality drink, straight from the experts. The Mary White Band hits the stage with some down-home country music as we delight in the wonderful world of beer. Angel City Brewing is a quality-oriented specialty brewer, focused mainly on providing Southern California with the finest local beer possible. The brewery is located in the middle of Los Angeles, the largest beer market in the United States. Guests will vote for their favorite beer and get to ask questions of Angel City’s master brewers.

Guests will mingle with 1800s reenactors who will dress to impress. In addition, a docent will lead guests to the Spirit of the Cowboy Gallery for a tour of the saloon, which features a “Los Angeles” Pattern Bar used in Wibaux, Montana, circa 1900. The saloon was the social center in many Old Western communities, combining tobacco and liquor store, bar, restaurant, billiards parlor, and gambling hall.

Tickets for this part for Autry members are $30 each. Tickets for nonmembers are $40 each. Registration is required; please call 323.667.2000, ext. 300.
