Entry includes 36 ounces of beer samples (including some special tropical-themed brews), a souvenir glass, and a fair share of roasted pig. There will also be live reggae rock from Rhythm Earth to enjoy, and luau-goers will leave with a six-pack of Red Hares’s grapefruit IPA, SPF 50/50, to drink at home. Details
