In case you've been living under a rock, you probably already that New Times "Original" Beerfest presented by Isle Casino Pompano Park is tomorrow night - that's Saturday, October 10 in Esplanade Park.

If you haven't yet purchased your tickets, today is your absolute final last chance to s ave. VIP is already sold out but General Admission ($30 online, $40 at the gate) and Brew Master ($65) tickets are still available.

While buying Brew Master tickets in advance online won't save you any dollars, it might just save you a hell of a lot of regret as these tickets tend to sell out. Not only do you get into the event one hour early at 6 p.m., you'll also receive a commemorative Beerfest gift, unlimited local and international beer sampling from 100+ vendors, live musical performances, and special offers from local merchants, plus access to our Brew Master Beer Garden.

So, whether you know you are going General Admission and would like to save money to pay for parking or you want to make sure you get into that Brew Master tasting area, buy your tickets right now. Now! Do it! Go!

See the lovely ladies who'll be crowned Miss Beerfest 2015. And if you're a UM or FSU fan, at 8 p.m. Beerfest turns into the ultimate college football watch party, with the University of Miami/Florida State University game on the big screens in the game zone. Chris Wyttingham from 790 AM the Ticket will provide live color commentary.
