This three-day event (July 10^th-12^th)-7^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 restaurants. VIP tickets, with free beer tickets and express entry are available. The festival is a benefit for Pet Cross.

On The Big Screen – This weekend’s movie openings run the gamut from the latest Marvel superhero release to the most hyped comedy of the summer. Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd as a lovable con-man armed with super-suit that allows him the astonishing ability to shrink in scale and increase in strength when he does.  But if you (as so many) have had your fill of superheroes there’s always Trainwreck, Amy Schumer’s semi-autobiographical comedy on dating in the thirtysomething world.

Tap It Good (Corpus Christi, TX) – One of the nation’s most popular travelling beer tours, America on Tap will be touching down in Corpus Christi this weekend and if you’re down that way you may want to think about tapping in to it, this Saturday (July 11^th) down at the American Bank Center. This afternoon event will feature over 100 of this country’s best craft breweries and they’re will be live music, serious food and all kinds of mischief going on. For a complete listing of all the breweries that will be attending check out: On Tap

TV Time – True Detective was one of television’s best received and most critically acclaimed dramas of 2014. It was conceived as an anthology, and it recently made its second season return to HBO with a whole new cast of characters and a brand new location. This year’s True Detective, involves a small-time mobster (Vince Vaughn), and a murder that brings together three separate investigators from different jurisdictions, played by Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch. Whether this season can duplicate the brilliance of last year’s debut remains to be seen – but the actors are worthy of watching – and the cinematography striking – so it’s got our attention for now.

OUR WEEKEND BEER PICK

With summer now upon us and temperatures rising we’re dialing things back at the ACB compound and Victory has a Witbier that suits this time of year perfectly. Victory’s Whirlwind Witbier is 5.1% ABV Belgian White that’s a sessionable take on a classic traditional.
