New Times Beerfest 2015: First-Ever Miss Beerfest Competition Is Looking For You

Fall is coming and that means the return of cooler weather, all things pumpkin, and New Times' "Original" Beerfest, presented by Isle Casino. 

The mega celebration of all things beer returns to Fort Lauderdale's Esplanade Park on Saturday, October 10. From 7 to 10 p.m., enjoy unlimited sampling of over 100 international, local, and craft beers. The event also features live musical performances, interactive games, and good food.

This year, also brings the introduction of the Miss Beerfest competition, where South Florida's female beer lovers have the change to compete for the title of Miss Beerfest 2015. Entrants will compete in games of brew-related skill and daring like pouring the perfect head of beer and hoisting the boot! 

These beer-loving gals will be scored for their abilities (and sense of humor) by a team of celebrity judges including pin-up model and Cupcake Burlesque founder Jenna Beth (check out the video) and WPLG's Will Manso.

If you think you've got what it takes, submit a headshot, full body photo, and one-paragraph bio to [email protected] with the subject line "Miss Beerfest". Be sure to include links to your social media accounts. 

The New Times will select the semi-finalists, and will post photos to our social media for our readers to vote for five finalists. Those finalists will compete on the Beerfest stage for the crown and title of Miss Beerfest 2015.
