It's back! The 17th annual New Times "Original" Beerfest returns to downtown Fort Lauderdale on April 5 with more beer and entertainment than ever before.

We're talking over 100 of the world's best local and international beers -- all yours for the sipping.

The event, located just outside of America's Backyard, runs from 4 to 7 p.m., with VIP'ers getting an extra hour of hopped love at 3 p.m. In addition, VIP ticket holders will enjoy a special area inside Stache speakeasy, with free food, a sponsored bar, and craft beers not available anywhere else.

While you're enjoying your beer, you'll be entertained by SOJA, the 2013 Live Artist of the Year. This eight-piece band has headlined sold-out tours of North and South America, opened for O.A.R. and shared the stage with everyone from Dave Matthews Band to Matisyahu.

Tickets are only $40 for general admission and $65 for VIP (which includes an extra hour of beer and exclusive perks) and go on sale February 3 at 10 a.m.

But you, our loyal readers have the opportunity to purchase tickets before anyone else with our exclusive pre-sale offer. Just visit ticketfly.com and enter code BPREBEER4 to get in on the deal right now.
