Weekly Beer Calendar Update: August 11 - August 17

Everyone's busy with something in August. Vacations, prepping for back to school, home projects, and on and on. Good thing that are local breweries and bar owners are just as busy putting together fun and interesting beer events to give you a break from it all. Get out there and enjoy and stay cool.
