On the Big Screen – It seems like everything old is new again – and this weekend’s gigantic new movie, Jurassic World, is no exception. Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited next installment of his groundbreaking Jurassic Park series – which features Chris Pratt as the theme park’s dinosaur handler, who’s struggles to keep it together, as things predictably fall apart. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure based on characters created by Michael Crichton.
Music / Music / Music & Craft Beer (Manchester, TN) – Bonnaroo, one of America’s biggest and most important music events will be rocking it all weekend and Juliana Casale, our Boston Correspondent and Festival Goddess, is already on the grounds covering things for you. She’ll be dishing on rock stars and serious beer all weekend and you can follow her exploits at ACB Twitter. With five main stages and more than seven smaller ones, and headliners like Robert Plant, Florence + the Machine, Deadmaus, and Alabama Shakes this year’s “music & arts festival” promises to be epic.
Beer and Fruit As They Were Meant To Be (Portland, OR) – Yesterday Portland, Oregon officially kicked off PDX Beer Week, which is on tap till June 21st, but the party really gets started this evening when the world’s first dedicated Fruit Beer Festival celebrates its fifth year this weekend at Burnside Brewing. This event has been growing like crazy, especially considering the popularity of Belgian Fruit styles, barrel-
aged sours and cider/beer hybrids. Don’t believe in fruit beer?! Check out this awesome, one-time-only tap list.
OUR WEEKEND BEER PICK
With summer now upon us and temperatures rising we’re dialing things back at the ACB compound and Blue Point has a beer that suits us perfectly. Blue Point Toasted Lager is an award-winning 5.5% ABV American Amber that shouldn’t be overlooked.
