Through May 31, Multiple LocationsArf, arf: This is my impression of your dog when you tell them about this furry fundraising effort from Divine Canines. Tell their placid doggy faces about how 30 CTX craft breweries are participating, like Celis Brewery and Independence Brewing. Pet their ears and inform your pooch how buying a $30 Pawsport as well as a 2025 pint glass entitles you to a pour at each brewery.

A smattering of ways to fill your weekend Thursday 24, Franklin BarbecueGirls be grilling, as the saying I just made up goes. Few places will that be truer than this Thursday’s tiara-topped triumph of women and non-binary chefs/grillmasters.
