Everyone should know by now that when I mention beer, I'm almost always talking craft beer and/or microbrew. This weekend we had family in town and spent a good portion of it introducing them to the various breweries here, some of which they knew, some they didn't.

So I can say that the best beer deals are to be found at Silver Moon and JC's (Wildfire): Monday night at Silver Moon is Locals Night where the pints are $2.50 (and the pool and foosball is always free), and Monday through Friday at JC's, happy hour is from 3 to 6pm and all Wildfire brews are $2. Yes, only two dollars, you read that right. I think that's the best beer deal anywhere in town for micros.

This is kind of a cross between a press release and a McMenamins event listing, but what the hey. I like WebCyclery and I've noticed that they've been doing these movie nights for awhile.

TRANSITION 2 - 'Cross The Pond'
9:00 p.m. | $5 per person | 21 & over

Getting excited for Cross Season? The WebCyclery Thrilla Cross Series begins on Thursday nights in September, and to celebrate we're bringing a cyclocross film to the next WebCyclery Movie Night @ McMenamins!

Transition 2 brings you the Belgian cyclo-cross scene from the perspective of American racers. This high definition film spends the holiday season of 2005 following a group of North Americans as they race with the best in the world in the harsh and unforgiving heartland of cyclo-cross racing. A funny and intimate look at these foreigners' experiences on and off the race course.

Features Brandon Dwight, Ryan Trebon, Barry Wicks, Danny Summerhill, and more...

While WebCyclery Movie Night at McMenamins is a fund raiser for Central Oregon Trail Alliance (cotamtb.com), it is mostly an excuse to get together with a theater full of like-minded cyclists to watch an exciting bicycle movie, drink a favorite beverage, raise some money for local trails, and maybe win a cool cyclocross door prize provided by Ryan Trebon and our friends at Salsa and Kona.

90 Minutes.
