From the nation’s coolest beer festivals to movies, music, and cutting-edge TV – we’ve got your back big-time. We’ve also a Weekend Beer Pick for you too, because we know you’ll be drinking.

So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks…

Beer Camp Officially Kicks Off This Weekend (Chico, CA) – One of the summer’s most-anticipated beer events will be kicking off this Saturday, July 19^th from 12-5 p.m. on the West coast. This is the first stop for Beer Camp Across America, Sierra Nevada’s seven-city traveling festival and it’s appropriately taking place in the brewery’s own hop field in Chico. This first-ever festival will feature 112 of the Pacific Northwest’s most exciting breweries – and tickets are amazingly still available. And if rivers of brilliant beer are not enough for you, there will also be live music, circus acts, and all kinds of wild entertainment. For more info and directions, check out: Beer Camp Across America

On The Big Screen – Some of the cast, as well as the director, from 2011’s Bad Teacher reunite in this weekend’s new R-rated comedy Sex Tape and it’s opening nationwide this weekend. Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz star as a married couple who attempt to spice up their married life by making a sex tape together – only to find it missing the next day. And if you’re looking for something other than a sex comedy, there’s always Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which is getting some of the most positive reviews of the summer.

Beer Drinking Time in The City Of Bridges (Pittsburgh, PA) – Long thought of as a good beer city, Pittsburgh is fast becoming a great beer city, and it will be celebrating tonight and tomorrow (July 18^th – 19^th) with the Pittsburgh Summer Beerfest. This year’s two-evening event will feature more than 250 interesting beers from 80+ cutting-edge, regional breweries. The food and music will be awesome and the drinking even better, and if you’re anywhere near “The City of Bridges,” you don’t want to miss this.

TV Time – One of cable TV’s most interesting guilty pleasures, Ray Donovan, has just returned for its second season to the Showtime network, and if you’ve not yet checked it out, well, you need to. This LA-based crime drama stars Liev Schreiber as Raymond “Ray” Donovan, a fixer who negotiates the trials and tribulations of Hollywood’s glitterati while struggling with overwhelming family demands at home. The cast is rich, deep, and accomplished, and Jon Voight, who plays Ray’s criminal father, Mickey Donovan, is riveting.(Sundays @ 9 p.m. only on SHOWTIME)
