This weekend there will be a perfect storm of beer events going on in Austin. Well maybe it is not that crazy. It's only three, but they are a big three. We will start from the north and move south.
First, NXNW Oktoberfest. I have heard this is a fun event. It's both Saturday and Sunday, so it will be the easiest party to hit up. More info here.
Next up, Flying Saucer's Fall Fest. This one seems to be the "can't miss" event of the weekend. It is only on Saturday, so plan accordingly. More info here. Also, BTA has an Over a Pint with the Flying Saucer guys for even more information.
Finally, we have Independence's Fifth Anniversary party. They are pulling out the big guns. I am looking forward to trying their Fifth Anniversary ale as well. More info here.
No matter where you live in Austin, something is happening near you this weekend. No excuses.
I may be missing something. Let me know if so...

Live Oak Brewing Co. and the Big Friends Network will be hosting the Texas vs. Missouri Watching Party on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at the brewery.
The kick-off time for the missouri game will be decided sometime after Saturday's (Oct. 17) Texas/ou sux! game. In all likelihood, the missouri game will start at 7 p.m., after we beat OU this week (or at 2:30 p.m. should the unthinkable happen). We will be set up at 2:30 p.m. to watch all day until the Texas game at 7 p.m.. Other unfortunate possibilities shall not be further discussed on this forum. Consult your local listings.
As usual, there will be lots of tasty treats from Smokey Denmark and Live Oak beer. We'll have the game on a couple of projectors and it should be a good time.
Be sure to bring a chair and whatever charms and idols are your usual accoutrements. And dont forget to bring a donation for the Big Friends Network. They do good work and their email missive follows.

From the Big Friends Network:
We will put more details on our web site next week (www.bfnaustin.org) but we wanted to make sure people marked their calendar for Big Friends Network’s big fund raiser of the fall. Yes, it is back…October 24th is the BFN watch party at the Live Oak Brewery. Big Friends Network may have taken a break this year with the home tailgate parties but we are definitely ready to continue our non-profit efforts to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the Capital Area Food Bank, Education First, the Prostate Cancer Research Institute and The Kelly Davidson Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
