Food & Drink

Seattle International BeerFest The potheads had their celebration last weekend at Hempfest. Music fans will gather next weekend for Bumbershoot. And what lies in the middle? That great American pastime, beer. Sure, pot is legal now, but beer is so much more convenient. There’s no smoke or smell, and it comes in so many more varieties. This weekend’s gathering of suds connoisseurs will feature more than 200 varieties of brew, from Belgium’s Kasteel Rouge to our own Elysian Brewery’s Dragonstooth Stout. There will be live music ranging from rockabilly (the Echo Devils) to New Orleans horns (Tubaluba Brass Band), so you can lounge on the grass to listen-or nap. And remember to pack plenty of cash for extra beer tokens and food trucks representing Skillet, Pinky’s Kitchen, and other vendors. Dogs are welcome. Kids are not, this being a 21-and-over event. But it’s worth noting the rest of the family can roam free on the Seattle Center grounds, while only the Fisher Pavilion and lawn is where the taps will flow. (Fri. & Sat.: noon-10 p.m. Sun: noon-7 p.m.) T. BOND Seattle Center, 305 Harrison St., Seattle, WA 98109 $30 Sunday, August 24, 2014

Finn MacCool’s Happy Hour At first glance, Finn’s might appear to be your run-of-the-mill Americanized “Irish” pub, complete with trivia night, karaoke and an official happy hour menu that only reinforces the thought: $3 drinks and $4 apps materialize both early (4-6 p.m.) and late (10 p.m.-midnight). But the bar’s magic is in its nightly rotation of 8 p.m-to-close specials. During Tuesday’s weekly beer pong tourney you can cash in on $5 High Life pitchers even if you don’t have a paddle in your hand, or drown your losses in $3 Jack Daniel’s and Jameson shots. Thursday nights-the alternate bane and fortune of college students-offers the allure of $1 Millers and $3 Jager shots that do their best to keep you from sobering up. And Sunday, for those dedicated enough to keep the streak alive, means half off everything. That’s right, everything.
