Getting out of the house is often hampered by the fact that most houses are located inside a bigger and fancier house. Step outside of the house outside of your house with today's Groupon: for $6, you get one food-only admission to Millvale BrewFest (a $12 value for advanced purchase; a $15 value at the door).

The fifth-annual Millvale BrewFest is a charitable summer festival that brings together live music, brews, and tasty eats. The food-only Groupon option gets ticket holders admission to the festival and a spread of picnic-style food prepared by local chefs, which also includes vegetarian and vegan options. Proceeds from the festival go to Millvale MainStreet and Millvale Borough Development Corporation, a nonprofit helping the Millvale area recover from Hurricane Ivan damage by developing housing and business projects.

Pouring frothy brews and lassoing kegs with hop vines, the festival’s local breweries include Pennsylvania Brewing Company, Erie Brewing Company, Roy Pitz Brewing Company, Iron City Brewing Company, and Beaver Brewing Company. Pick up some brew-related gear and enter to win prizes such as beer, gift certificates, and beer goggles. Groupon holders can upgrade to a beer-tasting ticket to enjoy a sampling of suds in a free tasting glass ($20 extra).
