The cups runneth over during the LSU Rural Life Museum's best-lubricated annual event, which definitely calls for designating a driver. The 21st annual Zapp’s International Beer Festival brings tastings of more than two hundred domestic and international beers and ales to the grounds of the museum plus more than a few home brews, which always end up being a festival highlight. Non-alcoholic beverages will be available for those (heroic) designated drivers. Bottoms up because all proceeds benefit the Rural Life Museum. Don't forget your I.D.—participants must be twenty-one, for obvious reasons. 3 pm–6 pm general admission. $45; $20 for designated drivers; $65 for early admission. Tickets available at bontempstix.com.
