Beer and Bourbon Festival, Columbus

There's no better way to celebrate the historical Best Ranger Competition and the military community than some frosty brew, live music and aromatic whiskey. That's the thinking behind the Beer and Bourbon Festival, where reps from Honor Brewing Company, Omaha Brewing Company, Gold Star Vodka, and other renowned brew-houses will gather with their distiller brethren for a full evening of spirits, and song. Between sips, guests can refuel with grub from area food trucks, or take in sets from musical acts including Unwound and Monkey Finger.
