Hey it’s Friday and you’re ready for some fun. But this weekend isn’t just about you – it’s also about Dad. But no worries – because we’ve got everyone covered! From the nation’s coolest beer festivals to movies, music, and cutting-edge TV – we’ve got you (and your Dad’s) back big-time. We’ve also a Father’s Day Beer Pick too because we know you’ll both be drinking.
So welcome to our awesome Father’s Day Weekend Picks…
Take Dad Out to a Craft Beer Festival This Weekend I (Saint Louis, MO) – We shouldn’t have to tell you that Sunday is Father’s Day – so why don’t you spend some bonding time with him at one of the 47 craft beer festivals that are happening all over the country this weekend? And one of our favorites is happening today and tomorrow (June 13th-14th) in Saint Louis. This year’s St. Louis Brewers Guild Heritage Festival is taking place in the city’s legendary Forest Park and features 23 local breweries and more than 100 different beers for you and Dad to quaff. For tickets, times, and a complete rundown of all the breweries attending (and what they’ll be bringing), check out: Heritage Fest
Take Dad to a Movie on The Big Screen – Many of your dads may remember when 21 Jump Street was a television police procedural that starred the then relatively unknown Johnny Depp back in 1987. So maybe they’d be interested in 22 Jump Street, the sequel to the 2012 hit comedy that was loosely based on the original TV series. Both Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill return to 22 Jump Street as police officers forced to continue working deep undercover – this time at a local college.
Take Dad Out to a Craft Beer Festival This Weekend II (Redmond, WA) – Another great craft beer festival is happening in the Pacific Northwest and Dad’s absolutely gonna love this one! The 2014 Washington Brewers Festival is taking place tonight through Sunday (June 13th-15th) in King County’s Redmond Park. This festival is unique in that it’s an all-age event where thousands of beer fans and families can gather to celebrate Father’s Day weekend. And this year’s festival will feature more than 300 different beers from 88 different Washington State breweries. There will also be great food for Dad to chow down on and a live music stage that Dad can stage-dive from. For even more info on this dad-friendly beerganza, check out: Washington Brewers Festival
Rent a Father’s Day Movie and Watch It with Dad at Home – With so many great movies readily available to view at home, you and Dad can just hang out at the house and catch a Father’s Day flick together and as usual, we’ve got some suggestions:
To Kill a Mockingbird (Universal Studios Home Video) – For all of the big themes, this is a movie about a father, as seen through the eyes of his young daughter.
Jersey Girl (Miramax) – Ben Affleck stars as a career-obsessed Manhattanite who finally figures out what it means to be a dad. This unfairly judged flick (which came out at the height of Affleck’s Jay-Lo period) was seen by few – and that’s too bad – because it’s a touching little film.
Field of Dreams (Universal Home Entertainment) – “Do we even have to explain this pick to you?”
Life is Beautiful (Miramax) – Sweet as well as sad, this Italian Academy Award-winning movie tells the story of a father’s ultimate devotion to his son.
