There’s nothing quite like slapping some burger patties on the good ol’ BBQ, beer in hand, while you chill in your backyard with a group of friends on a toasty summer Saturday afternoon.

With all the delicious craft burgers that seem to be popping up all over the place, you might even be tempted to recreate some in your own backyard, adding fried eggs or beer-battered jalapeños to the toppings. This can either have a tasty outcome, or a disastrous ending to your fun-in-the-sun Saturday shenanigans, leaving your friends to forever cement the images in Instagramland with photos of your ruined craft burger attempts.

Perhaps you should scrap the BBQ plans and head to LA Weekly’s inaugural Burgers & Beer celebration, taking place from 3pm-7pm at the LA Coliseum August 8th!
