So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks

Drink Sessionably In The Mile High City (Denver, CO) – Sesh Fest is a celebration of “session beers”- a festival dedicated to lower alcohol beers – and it’s taking place this Saturday, August 1^st in Denver’s Sculpture Park. This afternoon event will feature beers (all of which will be lower than 5% ABV) from 40 Colorado breweries as well as food, music, lawn games and art. For a complete listing of all the breweries attending check out: Sesh Fest 2015

On the Big Screen – Who knew that a television series from 1966 would eventually lead to a hugely popular international movie franchise? Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation the fifth film in this current series returns this weekend. And Tom Cruise returns as head-spy Ethan Hunt, but really Tom Cruise just plays Tom Cruise at this stage in his career. Is it even necessary to get into the plot? We think not – just expect more motorcycles, glamorous women, outrageous stunts, techie shit and bombs – lots and lots of bombs. You got a problem with that?

Rogue Animals! (Portland, OR) – Rogue Ales is presenting their 21^st annual Bones and Brew this Saturday (August 1^st) – a family and dog-friendly street festival that they host every year at the Rogue Distillery & Public House. This year’s event will feature more than 30 of the region’s best craft brewers live music, barbeque and a multitude of magnificent neighborhood dogs. There will also be a charity dog wash – and we’re pretty sure there’s not a lot of bee events that can make that claim. For more on this dogmatic Beerfest check out: Bones and Brew

Music / Music / Music (Chicago, IL) – There’s only one music festival taking place this weekend that truly matters and that’s Lollapalooza 2015.What started as a touring music festival in 1991 by Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell has become a definitively unique music experience. This three-day festival (July 31^st-Aug 2^nd) returns to Chicago’s historic Grant Park, between the city’s iconic skyline and the shores of Lake Michigan and features some of music’s biggest names. For updates and the complete line-up check out: Lollapalooza 2015

OUR WEEKEND BEER PICK

With summer now upon us and temperatures rising we’re dialing things back at the ACB compound and Victory has brewed an authentic German-style lager that we’ve been hitting a lot lately. Victory’s Helles Lager is 4.8% ABV pleaser that’s a nice take on a style that more and more brewers have been returning to lately.
