John Ascuaga’s Nugget welcomes the 18th annual Sierra Arts Brew HaHa to the Rose Ballroom. The event will feature more than 35 breweries and live music by Diego’s Umbrella to keep the party going through the evening!

For the past 17 years, Brew HaHa has helped generate much-needed funding for the Sierra Arts Foundation, which provides support for area artists and community arts programs, such as Arts in Education, the Elder Care Concert Series, and the Arts Integration Project.

This year’s entertainment will be Diego’s Umbrella, the self-proclaimed ambassadors of gypsy rock!

Among the featured breweries this year are Sierra Nevada, Stone, Deschutes, Ruby Mountain, Lost Coast, Anderson Valley, Anchor Brewery, Joseph James Brewery, Indian Wells Brewery, Tenaya Creek, Great Basin Brewery, High Sierra, Lagunitas, Kona Brewery, Widmer, Sam Adams, Alaskan, Red Hawk, Shock Top, Battle Born Brewery, Goose Island, Moeb Brewery, Blue Moon, Leinenkugels, Peroni, Batch 19, 3rd Shift, Dos Equis, Fox Barree, Crispin Cider, Mike’s Lemonade, Silver Peak Brewery and more!

This year will also feature a wide array of raffle prizes, including a “Night Out with Morrissey” package from John Ascuaga’s Nugget, to include show tickets, dinner in Restaurante Orozko and a night in an East Tower Suite valued at $400!
