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!

Craft_Fair_5-03

Sunday, May 12, hit up the Echo Park Art Fair to find last minute creative gifts for mom (it’s Mother’s Day silly!) It’s from noon to 6pm on Sunday (and also on Saturday). Since you’re in the neighborhood, why not start your day by having a Mama’s Day brunch at Mohawk Bend, and then stop by the Fair where you can let mama pick her gift? Just an idea…
