On the Big Screen – Talk about a run! The 24th James Bond movie debuts nationwide this weekend. Director Sam Mendes, who almost single-handedly revitalized the franchise, returns to the helm and Daniel Craig reprises his role as the iconic 007 in Spectre.
The Guilded Age (San Diego, CA) – The 13th annual San Diego Brewers Guild Festival will be returning to The Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier this weekend for the official kickoff of San Diego Beer Week. This two-day beerganza (Nov 6th-7th) will feature more than 50 of the region’s best brewers – and given that this is San Diego you can expect a spectacular lineup. For the complete rundown of times and all the breweries that will be attending, be sure to check out: 2015 Guild Fest
Music / Music / Music (Austin, Texas) – A music festival that was created by people in the music scene, the 2015 Fun Fun Fun Fest (FFF) returns to Austin this weekend. This four-day festival (Nov 5th-8th) showcases the best of the best from Punk/Hardcore, Indie Rock, Hip Hop and Comedy genres on four different stages in downtown Austin. Where else can you see artists like Jane’s Addiction, Cheap Trick, Wu-Tang Clan and Future Islands all in one place? FFF has fast become one of the most renowned music events of the year.
TV Time – HBO dominated this year’s Emmy’s and shows like The Leftovers, which has returned for a second season, explain why. The Leftovers takes place in the intervening years after a global event called the “Sudden Departure”, which caused the inexplicable disappearance of 140 million people, shatters the world’s psyche – and tells the stories of several families struggling to deal with its aftermath. Riveting and unlike anything, even in today’s “Golden Age” of television.
OUR WEEKEND BEER PICK
With the days getting colder and the nights longer we’ll be hitting Ommegang’s newest winter seasonal this weekend. Ommegang’s Lovely, Dark, and Deep is a 5.3% Oatmeal Stout with a creamy mousse-like head, which subtly showcases rich milk chocolate and coffee notes.
