There are some weekends where so much is going on, it’s hard to suggest any one event over the others. This is one of those weekends, but we thought we’d give it a shot with a few choice cuts. In case you didn’t know folks, it’s offi cially Eugene Beer Week. That means places like Ninkasi Brewing, Falling Sky Brewing House, Hop Valley Brewing Company, 16 Tons and The Bier Stein will be offering discounts and specialty brews galore. No matter what kind of beer drinker you are, there will be something you love fl oating around town this week, so get out there and hit the taps. Beer week runs from Monday, May 7, to Sunday May, 13. Another awesome event is the annual Peace and Justice Festival at Wellsprings Friends School, where a number of guest speakers will lecture on community restoration, trauma healing and change beyond the Occupy movement.
