Hey it’s the Weekend…and you’re ready for some fun. Well good, because we’ve got all kinds of ideas for you. From the nation’s coolest beer festivals to movies, music and cutting edge TV – we’ve got your back big-time.  Plus we’ve another weekend beer pick for you too, because we know you’ll be drinking!

Rendezvous In The Rockies (Salida, CO) – The 20th Annual Colorado Brewers Rendezvous returns to Riverside Park in historic downtown Salida, Colorado, this Saturday (July 9^th) and you’re not gonna find a more beautiful place to drink beer. Surrounded by soaring mountains and hugged by the Arkansas River, this year’s throwdown will offer up more than 300 beers provide by 75 of Colorado’s most exciting breweries.

On The Big Screen – It’s been decades since Jaws changed summer movies forever…and led to a multitude of lesser shark thrillers looking to cash in on a legend. But this weekend there’s a new addition to the shark movie pantheon, and according to some critics, it’s actually exciting and fun. The Shallows stars Blake Lively as a travelling surfer who faces off against a Great White in lonely Mexican waters. Interestingly enough, you don’t actually see the dueling shark till the final sequence – and given that this flick was produced on a shoestring budget, that was probably a genius move on their part.

Drink Globally This Weekend (Seattle, WA) – The 2016 Seattle International Beer Fest returns today to the Fisher Pavilion and Lawn in Seattle Center. This three-day event (July 8^th-10^th) will feature a “Grande Beer Garden” with more than 200 beers from 16 countries, including many hard-to- find “exotics.” Live bands will be performing all weekend and food is being provided by some of Seattle’s best artisan restaurants.
