Matters of Graves Importance: First tapping of the new Fat Tire in Southern Ohio tonight
Chillicothe! Plenty of events for you to enjoy this weekend. Get out there and close out the month of January with an evening on the town.
Tonight join The Pour House at Machinery Hall for the re-release of Fat Tire accompanied by rare sours from New Belgium Brewing. This will be the first tapping in southern Ohio of the new Fat and these rare beers won’t be around for long. The featured beers on tap are Fat Tire, Voodoo Ranger Variant, Honey Orange Trippel, Oh Sweetie (Gingerbread Tart Porter), and Royal Velvet Lavender Sour Saison. Over on Paint Street Steiner’s Speakeasy presents two rounds of Trivia and Name that Tune hosted by Justin Wood.
On Friday, Old Capitol Brewing welcomes Puma back to their taproom for acoustic jams starting at 7 p.m. Jimmy Burger and Nevada Hart take the Jerry’s Pizza West stage from 8 to 11 p.m. Treat yourself to some tunes by this talented duo.
The 2nd annual Bah Humbug Bingo Ball happens on Saturday with sessions at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Creekside Occasions. I will be living out my retirement dreams by being your bingo caller. Visit Eventbrite for details, reserve your seat, and pay for your bingo packet. There will be snacks and beverages available for purchase plus a cash bar. This event sold out last year so do not delay. Proceeds benefit local non-profit Cats & Company. Party rock band Filo Beddoe will be appearing at the Dock at Water at 8 p.m. Get there early and grab yourself some famous Dock wings…grilled of course. The Basement Collective rocks the Crosskeys Tavern at 9 p.m. Don’t forget the ‘Keys kitchen is open until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Fj Outlaw with Rich Regal & DJ Moneyface Boogie are a triple treat at Mikey’s Sports Bar on Eastern Avenue. Purchase tickets from the venue, at Modified Studios Tattoo Gallery, or from one of the opening artists. Winston-Salem, North Carolina native Sam Foster brings his “little bit country, a whole lotta rock and roll” show to Steiner’s Speakeasy at 8 p.m. This is a no-cover show you won’t want to miss.
Remember to join me for trivia every Wednesday at The Pour House at Machinery Hall at 8 p.m. It is free to play and your team could win up to $40 in PH gift cards. Cameron Mitchell takes the trivia reins on the last Wednesday of the month.
Looking ahead…The Pump House Center for the Arts presents “The Best of Ross County,” an exhibition of artwork created by Ross County students in grades nine through twelve.
