Giving might be hard, but partying is not…especially when you are partying for a cause!  Here are three events that will help you enjoy yourself and feel good about helping out at the same time.

A few weeks ago I was invited to meet with Executive Chef Phil Kastel and several other food writers at the Daily Grill Located in Downtown Los Angeles.  We gathered to learn about the new and innovative techniques that Daily Grill is using to make each of their 21 locations a guaranteed stop for burger lovers.

I found a can of Black Star Double Hopped Golden Lager in my refrigerator today.  I’m not sure where it came from — is there such a thing as a beer fairy!? — but I figured I would be wrong to let this distinguished sounding beverage go untasted.

Going to the mall just got easier.  Red Robin, located in the South Bay Galleria at the corner of Hawthorne and Artesia Blvds, is now offering happy hour in two shifts.

Koko Brown Ale is the latest in the Aloha Series of beers from Kona Brewing, Hawaii’s premiere craft brewery.

Rock & Brews, El Segundo’s newest beer garden, is celebrating hoppy beer with its own Rock & Hops IPA Festival.

With temperatures on the rise, this weekend is the prefect time to relax with a cool beer and a taste of tequila.  The ladies of Soroptimist International of Manhattan Beach, would be glad to serve some of both at their event this Saturday.

This weekend two overlapping events — one for beer, the other for food — wrap up week-long celebrations in LA.

Beer Week events are spread out over LA and Orange counties but South Bay establishments are hosting many of the events.  Here’s a list of great beer tastings and dinners coming up this week!

This Saturday, five gourmet food trucks will rally in West Hollywood to see who is the best of the best…and you’ll be the judge!

The blessings of fair, summer-ish weather are still upon Southern California.  Get out and enjoy it!  Who knows how long this “late summer” will last.  Here are a few things to consider while planning your weekend.
