Prepping for St. Patrick's Day!

Are you ready for St. Patrick's Day? You live in Boston, so you better be! Dig out that green sweater and prime your liver. It's on a Saturday this year, so no need to call out of work. (No Evacuation Day holiday either, I suppose though.) Here's some events leading up to Boston's favorite holiday.

Hyper Local Beer Festival Saturday 1-4PM

Medford

The craft beer scene has exploded in the past year, making this event look pretty amazing. Old stalwarts like CBC, Notch and Pretty Things will be there. But meet beer-scene newcomers Slumbrew, Mystic, Idle Hands and Night Shift. All easily accessible off the orange line.

Nightshift Brewing Launch Party Tuesday 7-10PM

Allston

Not free beer, but free merriment and good times. These guys started brewing in the middle of the night since that's all the time they had (poor things) but it was worth it, because now they're official! And they even have time to throw beer parties now.

Pretty Things Beer Release Party Wednesday 4-8PM
Brookline

The Publick House is basically beer geek heaven. Pretty Things is basically hipster beer. This party is a release of their X Ale Feb 22nd 1945 and 1940's attire is encouraged. So, yeah. This is going to pretty geeky-hipster-retro fantastic.

Erin Go Beehive Thursday 5PM-2AM

South End

The Beehive has free live entertainment every night. Next week they'll be bringing in Irish entertainment and will have Irish food and drinks added to the menu.

As always, all this and more at the BeantownontheCheap Calendar. Have fun!
