Anchors Away! (Camden, NJ) – Where a beer festival takes place can play a big part in the drinking experience and can color an event in trippy ways. Savvy craft beer festival promoters are increasingly coming up with unusual and creative locations for their events. And the fact that this Saturday’s (6/28) Garden State Brewers Festival actually takes place at the Battleship New Jersey is clearly one of the reasons why we love this event! This year’s event will showcase New Jersey’s growing craft beer scene and feature serious beer from regional favorites – so you don’t want to miss this.

On The Big Screen – Okay we admit it, we’ve been seduced by its awesome trailers so we’re recommending that you see Transformers: Age of Extinction whether the movie actually deserves to be seen or not! In its latest iteration,new leading man Mark Wahlberg stars as an automobile mechanic who, along with his daughter, makes a discovery that brings the gigantic transforming Autobots – and a paranoid government official – down on them. Director Michael Bay has shuffled his cast and restyled the vehicles for the fourth chapter of his global juggernaut that unfortunately no longer includes seasoned hottie, Megan Fox.

Drink Organic and Save the Planet, Several Beers at a Time! (Portland, OR) – Two of Portland’s most beloved industries – organic beer and sustainability – come together this week (June 26th – 29th) at the 10th Annual North American Organic Brewers Festival. Portland’s beautiful Overlook Park will once again serve as ground zero for this annual celebration designed to raise awareness about organic beer and sustainable living.

, The American Craft Beer Weekend Picks – June 27, 2014TV Time – If you care about American television’s cutting-edge programming that has basically re-defined the format from The Sopranos on, then you already know that Netflix’s brilliant “dramady”Orange is the New Black has returned for a second season. The series, (based on Piper Kerman’s memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison), follows a happily engaged New Yorker who is sent to a women’s federal prison for having transported a suitcase full of drug money across international borders ten years earlier. In the second season, Piper (Taylor Schilling) continues to struggle with the consequences of her actions with dramatic and oftentimes hilarious results.
