Colorado Calling (Ft.

This iconic two-day celebration (June 27th-28th) is the largest outdoor brewing festival in Colorado drawing over 20,000 people. It’s one of the highest profile events of its kind in the nation, with over 50 of the region’s most cutting-edge breweries serving up their absolute best – and you need to be there.

On The Big Screen – Bromance returns to movie theaters across the nation this weekend and someone must be happy about that. Directed by Seth MacFarlane, Ted 2 once again stars Mark Wahlberg as best friend to the raunchy talking teddy bear.
Drink Globally (Portland, OR) – The 2015 Portland International Beer Festival is returns to Holladay Park at Lloyd Center this weekend. This year’s three-day event (June 26th-28th) will feature over 200 beers from over 16 countries and will also include brilliant locally-brewed craft beers as well. There will also be endless live music, a beer garden and a huge lawn for picnicking on as well as for participants to pass out on.

TV Time – Now in its second season, the jury’s still out on whether Showtime’s Penny Dreadful will become something great but 19th period supernatural thriller, that weaves together classic gothic characters like Dorian Gray with Dr. Frankenstein, still looks great and features some fine actors. Eva Green returns as a London psychic who unites with explorer Sir Malcolm Murray (Timothy Dalton), American gunslinger Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), and others to fight supernatural evil in Victorian England. Hey we get 
that this may not become the next Breaking Bad but it can be entertaining and beats The Real Wife of Anywhere hands down.
OUR WEEKEND BEER PICK
With summer now upon us and temperatures rising we’re dialing things back at the ACB compound and Victory has brewed an authentic German-style lager that we’ve been hitting a lot lately. Victory’s Helles Lager is 4.8% ABV pleaser that’s a nice take on a style that more and more brewers have been returning to lately.
