Cask ale festival
Kegs aren’t cutting it? Head to this cask-ale bacchanal to sip unfiltered, unpasteurized, “living” brews—i.e., beers that are still fermenting in the cask. Thirty rare selections, like the Otter Creek Imperial IPA from Vermont, can be enjoyed as either $6 ten-ounce or $8 16-ounce pours. FREE The Brazen Head, 228 Atlantic Ave between Boerum Pl and Court St, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn (718-488-0430). Fri–Sun noon–2am.
