This El Paso Beer Festival Helps Fund Future Chefs

The 4th of July has come and gone but El Paso Community College is still celebrating America’s 250th birthday with a first of its kind celebration: America 250: Red, White & Brew

Community members are invited to raise a glass for a great cause during America 250: Red, White & Brew, a scholarship fundraiser benefiting El Paso Community College (EPCC) Culinary Arts and Related Sciences students.

The event will take place Thursday, July 9, from 6 to 9 p.m. at THIRTEENO9 EPCC Culinary Arts Facilities, located at 9050 Viscount Blvd.

What To Expect At The Red, White & Brew Event

This event is the first-ever and promises to be a night full of delicious food, beer, and fun! Hosted in partnership with several local breweries, the evening will celebrate El Paso's growing craft beer scene while investing in the next generation of chefs and hospitality professionals.

Guests can enjoy tap takeovers, culinary pairings, and friendly competitions, all designed to showcase the talents of local brewers and EPCC's Culinary Arts program.

Organizers say the event is about more than great food and beverages. It's an opportunity to directly impact students pursuing careers in the culinary industry. Proceeds from ticket sales will help fund scholarships, giving aspiring chefs the financial support they need to continue their education and achieve their professional goals.

Tickets are $75 each, and attendance is limited to just 200 guests so get your tickets now before they sell out!

Oh, and did I mention that I will be your host for the night! I’ll be staying up way past my bedtime to have some fun at this event and I hope to see you there!

With the theme, "Raise a Glass. Raise a Scholar," the fundraiser highlights the power of community partnerships and local businesses coming together to invest in student success. Every pour helps create new opportunities, and every ticket purchased brings a future culinary professional one step closer to achieving their dream.
