Looking for an excuse to drink beer? To try locally-brewed craft beers? Look no further.

The Brew Brothers, located at Presque Isle Downs Casino, along with more than a dozen other craft brewers in the area have you covered for Erie Craft Brew Week.

Ales and Aces, the capstone event to this year's Erie Craft Beer Week features beer tastings from 14 local breweries, including winter beer releases from the Lake Ale Trail's breweries.

The annual event also includes a live auction and live music. Those who attend receive a complimentary pint glass and $10 in slot play. Custom food pairings will be provided with the beer tastings.

To celebrate Erie Craft Brew Week, people are encouraged to visit their favorite Erie breweries throughout the week in addition to attending Friday and Saturday night events.

Loosen up before Ales & Aces at Five & 20 Spirits & Brewing (8398 W Main St. in Westfield, NY), where Barrel Room Jam and Gem City Revival will perform on Friday night. — Tracy Geibel
