Miami and Broward home brewers are back at the second annual Home Brewers Bash at LoKal -- and this year, the event is so big, it spans two evenings.

Tonight and Thursday, October 17, from 6 to 10 p.m., the Coconut Grove beer and burger joint will allow home brewers to take over the taps.

This is your opportunity to try beers by local brewers on the verge of making it big. Who knows? The ale in your hand could have been made by the next Wynwood Brewing Company or J. Wakefield.

The event, now in its second year, leads up to Saturday's Grovetoberfest, which features over 200 different beers including home brews, craft beers, imports, and your favorite popular brands.

This year's Home Brewers Bash is split over two evenings, with Wednesday's roster featuring the best home brewers from Broward County and Thursday's offerings spotlighting Miami-Dade's best. Here's the rundown:

Wednesday, October 16, 6 - 10 p.m.

Invasive Species

2 Live Brews

Opus Ales

Thursday, October 16, 6 - 10 p.m.

Moron Brothers

Nightlife Brewing

Beer Snobs

Remember, all beer samples from local home brewers will be free both nights, while supplies last. LoKal's kitchen will be open and serving burgers made from grass-fed Florida beef, alligator, and other treats.
