The Burning Man Festival 2019 (Black Rock Desert, NV) – Every year, as many as 70,000 artist, hippies and slumming yuppies gather in the Nevada desert to erect a trippy temporary city devoted to art, community & 10 guiding principles including “radical self-expression…They also consume massive quantities of drugs…so thers’s that.
Burning Man, a festival that for some has become a lifestyle, is a surreal and psychedelic outing that kicks off this Sunday August 25 and ends with the almost orgasmic burning of “the man,” a huge wooden effigy that looms over the temporary desert city, on September 2.
On The Big Screen – If you read Weekend Picks regularly, you already know we’re big horror movie fans and there’s a new one opening this weekend that’s also supposed to be funny. Ready or Not follows a young bride as she joins her new husband’s rich, eccentric family (Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell) in a strange family tradition that quickly turns into a lethal game with everyone fighting for their survival.
Serious Mountain Drinking (Palmerton, PA) – The Beer Fest at Blue Mountain Resort returns to the Pocono Mountains this weekend for two days (August 23-24) of non-stop music, artisan foods and SERIOUS beer. This year’s event will be held at the base of the mountain at the Valley Lodge (a great location!) and scenic lift rides will be running all day! Whether you’re an IPA purist or a sour beer explorer, there will be something for everyone here including a breathtaking view of the Pocono Mountains.
THE ACB WEEKEND BEER PICK
We’re spending the weekend with a new small batch release from Iron Fist Brewing that pays homage to the brewery’s West Coast roots. Brewed with crystal dark malts and Magnum and Citra hops, Iron Fist Catalina’s Revenge is a 6.9% ABV West Coast-Style American Pale Ale with a surprisingly sturdy and welcome malt backbone.
