American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
August will soon be a memory…so it’s time for some reckless fun. From the nation’s coolest beer events, to movies, music and cutting edge TV – we’ve got you covered. Plus we’ve a special weekend beer pick for you, because we know you’ll be drinking.
Drinking Bad (Albuquerque, NM) – The home to AMC’s brilliant Breaking Bad television series, will be hosting New Mexico’s biggest craft beer festival this weekend, when the Albuquerque Hopfest returns to the Isleta Resort & Casino, this Saturday August 26th. In addition to showcasing more than 70 of the region’s most exciting breweries, this year’s beerganza will feature the NM Brewers Guild Education Pavilion… an opportunity for beer-lovers to hang with the brewers themselves.
On The Big Screen – Blame it on the Game of Thrones finale, or whatever you want, but this weekend’s new movie openings are so weak that Hollywood is reissuing a Terminator movie from 1991! It’s true, James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day returns to theaters across the country today, and truthfully, in a world where you can stream movies like this at home whenever you want, we can’t imagine why.
TV Time & Streaming – Game of Thrones’ epic seventh season draws to a close on this weekend and its finale is expected to draw a record-breaking audience for HBO! As is common with these season-enders, the intriguingly titled ‘The Dragon and the Wolf’ runs a good deal longer than is usual. This time it’s an almost 80 minute episode, where some character you care about will probably die.
THE ACB WEEKEND BEER PICK
We’ll be celebrating this weekend with the latest ‘California-only’ OneHitter Series release from Lagunitas. Brewed with cannabis terpenes provided by AbsoluteXtracts’ division, Lagunitas Supercritical is a 6.6% ABV pot-forward and buzz-worthy ale.
