Hey it’s the last weekend in February already…and you’re ready for some fun. Well good, because we’ve some ideas for you. From the nation’s coolest beer events, to movies, music and cutting edge TV – we’ve got your back big-time. Plus we’ve another weekend beer suggestion for you as well, because we know you’ll be drinking.
Michigan Beer Drinking, Snow, Rain Or Shine (Grand Rapids, MI) – The Michigan Brewers Guild is throwing one of their biggest events of the year this weekend when the 12th annual Winter Beer Festival returns to Fifth Third Ballpark. This year’s two-day beerganza, which always sells out almost immediately, will feature an amazing 1000 beer 
from more than 100 Michigan breweries along with live music and all kinds of artisan foods. For a complete listing of all the breweries attending check out: 2017 Winter Beer Festival
On The Big Screen – The Academy Awards will be celebrating the best films of 2017 on Sunday night – and some of the nominees are still at your local Cineplex. This year’s “Best Picture” nominations include Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Hidden Figures, La La Land, Lion, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight and we’re proud to tell you that not one of them has been an ACB Weekend Pick.
Minnesota Beer Drinking, Snow, Rain Or Shine (Minneapolis, MN) – for those of you who weren’t lucky enough to score tickets to Michigan’s throwdown, there’s still a few tickets available for the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild’s Winterfest 2017. The Delta 360 Club at Target field will be hosting this weekend’s Saturday night event which will feature all kinds of exotics and seasonals from more than 100 of the region’s best brewers this year.
TV Time – The 89th annual Academy Awards returns to ABC on Sunday night and as usual we’re predicting a four hour
vanity-filled snooze-fest. Since his year’s Oscars features eight best picture nominations and we’ve only seen two of them, Arrival and La La Land, we’re probably gonna pass on it again this year. And besides we’ll be watching something more artful and intelligent…we’ll be watching season 7 of The Walking Dead and suggest that you do as well.
THE ACB WEEKEND BEER PICK
This weekend we’ll be hitting up a VERY limited release from Upslope Brewing that successfully melds a couple of beer styles. Upslope Belgian Style Pale Ale is an exceptionally light-bodied yet comparatively strong 7.5% ABV hybrid that was brewed with coriander.
