So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks…

, The American Craft Beer Weekend Picks – April 4, 2014Big Beers and Yucks (Annapolis, MD) – The third annual Drafts and Laughs is returning to the Maryland National Guard Armory in Annapolis, Maryland tonight, April 4th and if you missed it last year, well, you blew it, and this is your shot at redemption. This year’s evening event, which is part of Annapolis Beer Week, will be featuring rare beers and seasonal offerings from some of the region’s most brilliant craft brewers. Drafts and Laughs will also be presenting five of the mid-Atlantic’s funniest comedians, and they’ll all be doing their thing so you don’t want to miss this.

Beerfest in La-La Land (Los Angeles, CA) – DrinkEatPlay will be presenting their sixth annual LA Beer Festival this weekend and it’s shaping up to be a good one! This afternoon and evening event is taking place this Saturday, April 5th at LA Center Studios and will feature some truly mid-boggling beers from the region’s best brewers. There will also be bands performing and more than a dozen food trucks serving up imaginative street food. There’s even VIP tickets available, allowing you early admission and access to some of the brewers’ more exotic stash. For more info on this Southern Cal hang, check out: LA Beer Fest

On The Big ScreenCaptain America, one of Marvel Comic’s less likely superheroes, surprised when it debuted three years ago. The movie got well-deserved reviews – and what could have been corny became cool. This weekend, Chris Evans returns as Captain America: The Winter Soldier who continues to struggle with his role in the modern world and battles a new threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier. From everything we’re hearing, this sequel has been fine-tuned and re-engineered and might be even better than the original.

TV Time – The wait is over: Game of Thrones, HBO’s brilliantly cruel adult fantasy, makes its 4th season return this Sunday at 9pm EST. With its huge cast of characters and its sweeping scope, this battle of families in the mythical kingdom of Westeros is richly conceived and beautifully envisioned. This is the kind of production and storytelling that puts today’s Hollywood movies to shame. Brutal, sexy, and unforgiving – Game of Thrones is epic TV and should not be missed!
