So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks…

A Beer Carnival Comes To Town (Charlotte, NC) – All Ale to the Queen, possibly the nation’s only “beer carnival” is kicking off this Saturday, March 28th at Amos’ Southend in the “Queen City.”  This one-day two-session beerganza which officially closes Charlotte Craft Beer Week, will feature more than 100 of the region’s best brews along with live music, aerial artists, belly dancers and costumed carnival performers. For more info on this carnal carnival check out: All Ale to the Queen 2015 – You can thank us later.

On The Big Screen – We don’t normally recommend comedic movies. What’s funny to some, is just stupid to others (not that we’ve ever shied away from stupid). But the only big movie opening this weekend is a comedy – and from the trailers we’ve seen it looks like it could be both funny and stupid. Get Hard (clearly a play on the Die Hard films) stars Will Ferrell as a billionaire nailed for fraud, and bound for San Quentin, who hires the supposedly street-savvy Kevin Hart to prep him for a life behind bars. We don’t think that we’ll be going to this – but we won’t judge you if you do.

, THE AMERICAN CRAFT BEER WEEKEND PICKSCask Force (Seattle, WA) – The Washington Brewers Guild is returning one of their most popular events this Saturday March, 28th when the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall hosts the 2015 Cask Festival. This unique event will feature spectacular handcrafted cask-conditioned beers from over 40 Washington breweries. To remain true to the spirit of “real ale” all beers are conditioned naturally without artificially introducing CO2 into the cask and will be poured by gravity or via a beer engine. For even more info check out: 2015 Cask Festival

Slingshots (Athens, GA) – The SLINGSHOT Festival is taking has over downtown Athens, Georgia this weekend and is sponsoring all kinds of wonderful things. Spread over 5 city blocks and dozens of venues, SLINGSHOT spotlights international, national, and local acts on stage, boundary pushing artworks, , THE AMERICAN CRAFT BEER WEEKEND PICKSand tech talks with leading innovators. SLINGSHOT also hosts a dedicated comedy night and film screenings. For a complete rundown of everything “going down” be sure to check out: SlingShot 2015

Our Awesome Weekend Beer Pick

When a craft brewery becomes more widely distributed as SweetWater has, you sometimes take their year-round offerings for granted and forget why you embraced them in the first place. SweetWater 420 Extra Pale Ale is an award-winning 5.7% ABV ale that’s deserves its reputation as a straight ahead Pale Ale – and it’s good to have around.
