The American Craft Beer Labor Day Weekend Picks – August 29, 2014

Hey it’s Friday and it’s Labor Day Weekend already. It’s time to shut down and bring on the fun. Well good, because we’re all about it and we’ve got all kinds of awesome ideas for you. From the nation’s coolest beer festivals to movies, music, and Labor Day doings – we’ve got your back big-time. We’ve also a Labor Day Beer Pick for you too, because we know you’ll be drinking.

So welcome to our awesome Labor Day Weekend Picks…

Craft Beer on the Beach (Key West, FL) – The fifth annual Key West Brewfest is returning to Key West this Labor Day weekend and we can’t think of a better place to spend your holiday. This four-day multi-venue festival is taking place all over town and will include beer brunches & happy hour parties, pool parties, late-night parties, and (if you can crawl out of bed)seminars. But its signature event is Saturday’s “Grand Tasting on South Beach,” which will feature more than 150 beers served up right on the beach!

On The Big Screen – It’s clear that Hollywood’s not expecting many to be celebrating Labor Day at the movies this long holiday weekend – and they’ve decided to dump some pretty questionable titles on us this weekend. One of the most worrisome (so naturally it’s our pick) is As Above, So Below,a horror flick that takes place in the catacombs that lie beneath the streets of Paris. That’s not a bad place to start – but we’ve a bad feeling about this one – and suspect that it might have been better off left buried.

The 4th annual Portland Brew Festival is two days (Aug 29th-30th) of fun and festivities featuring some of the region’s most dynamic breweries and you absolutely don’t want to miss it.

Art In The Great Northleft (Seattle, WA) – Bumbershoot 2014 returns to Seattle Center this Labor Day weekend – that’s three days (8/30-9/1) of music, arts, theatre, comedy, words, and ideas. They’ve a great lineup scheduled to perform this year but we’re particularly excited about Foster The People, The Replacements and Elvis CostelloPanic! At The Disco doesn’t suck either.
