So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks
Beer / Sports / Beer / Music / Beer /Camping / Beer (Brevard, NC) – Billed as a celebration of craft beer in a can and the adventurous lifestyle, Oskar Blue’s Burning Can ExtravCANza is taking place in North Carolina this weekend (July 17th-18th) and it sounds like a wicked good time. Burning CAN NC condenses what’s best about the craft can lifestyle into a multi-day, outdoor festival with nationally touring bands, 50+ of the best canning breweries from around the country, camping, a Beer Relay competitive trail run, paddle trips, group rides, and a premier dirt-jumping competition. For a complete rundown of all the breweries attending check out: Burning Can East
On The Big Screen – This weekend’s movie openings run the gamut from the latest Marvel superhero release to the most hyped comedy of the summer. Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd as a lovable con-man armed with super-suit that allows him the astonishing ability to shrink in scale and increase in strength when he does. But if you (as so many) have had your fill of superheroes there’s always Trainwreck, Amy Schumer’s semi-autobiographical comedy on dating in the thirtysomething world.
Drink Serious Beer By Lake Champlain (Burlington, VT) – Part of what makes for a great beer festival (in addition to the beer itself) is it’s setting. And that’s one of the reason’s we love the Vermont Brewers Festival taking place this weekend (July 17th-18th) overlooking beautiful Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. This year’s two-day, three-session event will feature over 200 beers from nearly 50 of the region’s most dynamic brewers. For more info on what promises to be an awesome event check out: Vermont Brewers Fest
Music Mania At Pitchfork (Chicago, IL) – Celebrating its 10th year in action , the internationally acclaimed Pitchfork Music Festival, returns Union Park this weekend and if you care about music this is where you want to be! This legendary festival is three days of music (July 17th-18th) and some 40+ bands. They’ll also be serving up vast amounts of serious beer including specialties from Goose Island. This year’s headliners include two Chicago hometown heroes (Wilco and Chance the Rapper) and one recently reconstituted legendary band, Sleater-Kinney.
