AUSTIN BEER AND MUSIC FESTIVAL Wait, this is Austin, right? So aren't … all festivals … aren't they all beer and music festivals? OK, but this is the one that's calling itself, specifically, the Austin Beer and Music Festival. Not to put too fine a point on things, right, Rock Star Beer? And this event is the BBQ Edition, so you might want to consider the succulence of cooked animal proteins when choosing your entertainment options here, citizen. And of course there'll be a plethora of craft beer from Blue Owl, Adelbert's, Hops & Grain, Orf, 4th Tap, Strange Land – 60 different breweries in tasty profusion. Oh, and the music. Much rock and possibly a skoshie of roll, we reckon. Sat., Sept. 1 Fair Market, 1100 E. Fifth, 512/494-9093. $35-50. www.austin-beerfestival.com
