One of my favorite dog-friendly places in Austin is having a great event to benefit Pinups for Paws. Pinups for Paws was created by a local photographer to help raise money for local rescue groups in a fun and creative way. The 2013 calendar will be their first calendar and will showcase dogs from local

There is nothing better than getting the weekend started with a few cold ones. Hops & Grain is a good local brewery that recently whipped up some new brews that they’re dying for others to try. They’re holding their first tapping tonight at drink.well. It’s a neighborhood pub that just opened their doors a few

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s our annual excuse to guzzle green beer all day and get sloppy drunk! Luckily, today is a Saturday, so nobody has to worry about going to work with a post-St. Patrick’s Day hangover. B.D. Riley’s will be celebrating today by doing what they do best, serving lots and lots of

It’s officially March, which means all the craziness of SXSW is on the horizon. So tonight I thought we should keep it casual by enjoying some cold ones at one of my favorite places to sit outside and not do much of anything – Black Sheep Lodge. Tonight they’re having Beer Camp, a meet the

Hipsters, moustache growers, people with awesome facial hair – your day has arrived. The Mohawk is asking you to come out with your biggest, baddest facial hair so we can pick a winner.

The only way to truly follow up Fat Tuesday would be to celebrate National Margarita Day. It only makes sense. Incidentally, they happen to have a fabulous margarita at Santa Rita Cantina. They have some of the best margaritas and queso in town. Republic Tequila will be on hand during happy hour serving up drink

Do you love Guinness? Do you just need a good reason to drink beer on a Friday night? Either way, Fado’s Irish Pub can help, as tonight is the Great Guinness Toast! The Guinness Toast takes place each year on the third Friday in February. Tonight will mark the 20th Annual toast, and every year it continues

The long-awaited opening bell of the Brew Exchange is finally ringing tonight. It’s supposed to be the new hot spot on West 6th, with a line-up of 72 beers on tap that fluctuate in price based on demand. It’s kind of a cool concept, and they’ll be trading local beers, imports, crafts, you name it.

Getting the weekend started with some beer and some bingo seems like just what the doctor ordered. Proceeds from tonight’s bingo game at Lavaca Street Bar will help provide books for children in need. It’s a way to give back while drinking and playing bingo! One dollar from every purchase and fifty cents from every
