The Miami Taste of Brickell Food & Wine Festival is presenting its Inaugural Burger, Beer & Balls Bash, an exciting event that will not only provide fun for the whole family, but also benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade. A portion of the event’s proceeds will go to Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade to support its positive programs for area children who need them the most.

It will feature over 25 local restaurants sampling burgers and meatballs, unlimited craft beer samples with the purchase of a VIP ticket, a demo on how to build a unique burger, a burger eating contest by B&B Burger & Beer Joint at 7 p.m. (teams can apply for the contest at the Mary Brickell Village location), live all-day concert, wine & spirits VIP lounge, Miami Marlins free kids play area including arts and crafts, car exhibit, exhibitors and vendors, and charitable organizations.

Miami’s most celebrated restaurants and chefs will interpret what a “burger” or “meatball” means to them, and attendees can pair the burgers or meatballs with some of the most unique, sought-after, well-made beers available. Those attending can also vote on their favorite burger or meatball.

The party continues at 10 p.m. at the after party at Club 50 at the Viceroy Miami hotel, located at 485 Brickell Ave., Miami, FL 33131. For more information, visit www.tasteofbrickell.com.

“We’re very pleased to be a part of this exciting inaugural community event,” said Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade Executive Director Alex Rodriguez-Roig. “The funds we receive will help us to continue to serve area youth with our many programs.”

The Inaugural Burger, Beer & Balls Bash is one of many events that The Miami Taste of Brickell produces leading up to its Grand Festival on March 23 and 24, 2013.
