Who says Oktoberfest has to end in October? Certainly not us, and certainly not the Art Museum of Southeast Texas in Beaumont, which holds its Okto-like Art of Beer fund-raiser today. AMSET is promising ยsome of the worldยs finest beersย along with hamburgers, bratwurst and German folk band Alpenfest. Weยre not sure where the ยArt ofย comes in. There isnยt much brew-related about the museumยs current exhibits ย ยTejas del Oeste al Este,ย featuring Chicano works of every variety from the El Paso Museum of Art, and ยSomethinย Out of Nothinย,ย showcasing the massive, makeshift totem poles of the local Felix ยFoxย Harris ย though both are fun and sense-altering. Maybe ยArt with Beerย wouldยve been a better title. Either way, pour us a mug. 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. 500 Main Street in Beaumont. For information and reservations, call 409-832-3432 or visit www.amset.org. $45 to $50.
