Ski-Town Brewery Guide; Good Food Awards Auction

TAHOE—Need to know where to grab a cold brew after a skiing session (or during a summertime patio session)? Curbed Ski rounded up the 15 best ski-town breweries, including Truckee's Fifty/Fifty and Mammoth Lakes' Mammoth Brewing Company. [Curbed Ski]

THE INTERNET—The Good Food Awards launched a fundraising auction today with some cool items, including a day of brewing with Dave McLean at Magnolia, a private bourbon tasting with Michael Lazar at Hog & Rocks, and something not typically available at any price—a seat at the chef's table at Chez Panisse, which Alice Waters typically reserves only for friends.

THE FINAL FRONTIER—The advent of space tourism means that tourists are likely to want to pursue a favorite activity: getting tipsy. So local barman Russell Davis has been brought in to consult on space cocktails, including a special stemmed drinking glass to avoid the shame of sipping a drink from a Capri Sun-type pouch.

BERKELEY—The Westbrae Biergarten, which will feature brews, residencies from Brazil Cafe and Roli Roti, and two rotating mobile food vendors, should arrive at Gilman in Curtis next month. [Berkeleyside Nosh]
