Beer and ice cream!
King of Prussia Beerfest Royale | Sat., Oct. 4, noon to 3:30 p.m. and 6 to 9:30 p.m. $50 For many folks, drinking in parking lots is a pastime that’s left behind after graduating from high school. This weekend, the King of Prussia Beerfest Royale is taking over the mall parking lot for a day of craft-beer drinking that’s a little more civilized. Tickets for the day or evening sessions get you three and a half hours of unlimited samples from 50-plus breweries, including lots of local favorites like Free Will, Prism and Round Guys. Bonus tip: SEPTA’s on board this year with shuttles to and from the Norristown and Gulph Mills train stations all day long so no one has to worry about filling in as the designated driver. The Court, King of Prussia Mall, 690 W. DeKalb Pike, kopbeerfest.com.
Night Market Chinatown | Thu., Oct. 2, 7 to 11 p.m. pay-as-you-go The last Night Market of the season is taking over Chinatown tonight with plenty of veterans like Scratch Biscuits (Southern sandwiches) and Ka’Chi (grab-and-go Korean), along with newcomers like Sbraga and IndeBlue. 10th and Race Streets, thefoodtrust.org.
2nd Annual PYNK Affair | Fri. Oct. 3, 7:30 p.m. $10 Tart and totally refreshing, Yards PYNK ale, brewed with locally grown cherries and raspberries, is a great beer on its own, but it gets even better knowing that proceeds from each case go to breast-cancer research and awareness. For the second year in a row, Yards is teaming up with Little Baby’s Ice Cream for A PYNK Affair, a night of PYNK ale, PYNK ice cream and Weezer cover bands FREEZER and Say It Ain’t Froyo. $10 admission gets you a pint, a scoop and most likely more than one rendition of “The Sweater Song.” Yards Brewing Company, 901 N. Delaware Ave., yardsbrewing.com.
