MobCraft Beer celebrates its seventh year by hosting Weird Fest, a Zoom party happening on Saturday at 7 p.m. (6 p.m. for VIP ticket holders). Attendees can choose between a few beer and food pairing options, and some of the beers offered are, well, weird. You don’t see a Kimchi Low pHunk everyday or an Oktoberfest made with mushrooms, tomatoes and herbs. If weird isn’t your thing, there’s a non-weird pairing offered too. Tickets start at $40.

Cost for the fun is just $15 ($20 day of the race).
