We blame the industry for this... It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates - things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed.

So here's some of what's happened in the world of craft beer while you were off enjoying yourselves.

Hey it's Friday and 2014 is definitely on. You're ready to play this weekend and you want to keep things fun. Well good, because we're all about it and we've got all kinds of ideas. From the nation's coolest beer festivals to movies, music, and cutting-edge TV - we've got your back big-time. Plus we've got a serious Weekend Beer Pick that you'll want to get your hands on.

So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks...

Holy moly, last weekend was insane! Sure, we were only 2-2 with our picks, but every matchup was great, every game played out well, and every single minute was exciting. We had one team win by 17, but the other three matchups were all within 3 points (1, 2, and 3 points, actually....). We also saw only one home team win (Indianapolis), and they had to stage the second largest comeback in NFL Playoff history. So...what does this mean? Nothing. It means absolutely nothing.
