I love craft beer. There, I said it. This week happens to be American Craft Beer Week (in my house I call it “Friday Night”). Tonight Ladyface Alehouse has Archived Ales on tap. Select Beer Store is being taken over by Stone Brewing. West 4th & Jane is having Sam Adams Brewery Night trying out 4 rare brews of theirs. The Surly Goat is having Firestone Night. Wades Wines is doing Stone Brewing Rare Vertical Tasting (through Sunday- and this place is awesome). City Tavern will be doing 9 selections of Drake’s Brewing. Little Bear will be taken over by Avery Brewing at 6pm. How cool is this? One of these places has to be in your neighborhood. Check it out!

Becky Kramer’s Brother (BKB)

Band1

This past Friday night my friends and I hit up El Cid to check out Becky Kramer’s Brother (BKB), a 90′s cover band. It was AWESOME! They played all the classic 90′s bands like Weezer, No Doubt, and yes, even the Spice Girls. It was so much fun dancing around and singing along to their tunes.

Band2

For their last song “Closing Time” (I know you know it!) they invited everyone up on stage (above) to sing with them. It was a really fun night and I’m looking forward to seeing them again soon. Find them on facebook HERE and their 90′s themed website HERE.
