58th Annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse ShowWest World, 16601 North Pima Road Scosdale, 260

February 14-24, 2013Since 1955 the Annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show has set the pace

in the Arabian horse world. The rst show was held at the grounds of the

Arizona Biltmore Hotel which was a beautiful setting for a horse show.

The Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show was a rst class show from the very rst day.

After the show's beginnings at the Arizona Biltmore, Ann McCormick bought

150 acres in Scottsdale and made it into the horse facility known as Paradise Park

which served the needs of the show for many years.

Since that time, the show has been held at Westworld in Scottsdale. It has grown

from 50 horses to nearly 2400 horses bringing top owners, trainers and breeders

from around the world competing for a chance at winning. A win at Scottsdale can

mean big money in the breeding barns.

EPIK DANCE COMPANY PRESENTS "EPIK EFFECT"

Billy Campbell stars in Killing Lincoln Sunday on National Geographic Channel.

On a sultry summer day in Richmond, Va. the Confederate capital during the Civil War a film crew has gathered at a historic building refitted to look like a telegraph office. The scene being shot features Abraham Lincoln (Billy Campbell) receiving a message and then discussing it with Secretary of War Edwin Stanton (Graham Beckel).

Despite the sweltering heat, the bearded men wear waistcoats and jackets, and the women are decked out in period dresses, with corsets. The only person who seems comfortable is local actor Benjamin Perkinson, with his little suit and slicked-back hair, as Lincolns young son, Tad.

In production is Killing Lincoln, set to air Sunday, Feb. 17, on National Geographic Channel, a two-hour mix of drama and documentary based on the best-selling historical thriller of the same name by Fox News Channel anchor Bill OReilly and historian/researcher Martin Dugard. Tom Hanks narrates.

Executive producers for the project are brothers Ridley and the late Tony Scott.The other scene being shot in the small building crammed with cameras, crew and cast is between Lincoln

assassin John Wilkes Booth (Jesse Johnson, son of actor Don Johnson) and his sister, Asia (Sara Eshleman). It features Booth singing a song whose lyrics were uncovered during research for the movie.

Its a sad scene, in which Asia realizes that her brothers fanaticism will ultimately be his undoing.A bit later on, when the crew breaks for lunch, Beckel who has just arrived that day and isnt entirely sure what

channel this movie will air on gets to meet Johnson for the first time. Hes flabbergasted by his resemblance to the real Booth.

Blue-eyed Johnson who grew a mustache and has his blond hair dyed dark for the role pulls up a photograph on his phone to show Beckel the inspiration for his look.

Man, youre perfect, Beckel says to Johnson. Which ones you? Youre perfect. Youve got the swagger.Yeah, man, says Johnson. Im really excited that youre on this project. You dont know me, but I know you.Beckel has a personal connection to the Lincoln assassination story. My great-grandfather was in Fords Theatre the

night that Lincoln got killed, he explains. Im very close to this story.Hes also done some reading about the theory that Stanton was, if not complicit in the assassination, not exactly

ignorant of it.Booth put a bullet in Lincolns head, says Beckel. But it was something that Stanton damn well knew about. But

he didnt want him to go to the theater. He was ambivalent about it.His fingerprints are all over it, only because he knew ... but he didnt know Booth. Stanton had spies all over the

country. He was aware of it, and he knew what the motives were.

The San Carlos Apache Tribe is pleased to announce that the San Carlos Apache Tribal Council approved a second gaming site near the Aravaipa area of Arizona. The site is just East of Highway 77 at Milepost 127 between Mammoth and Dudleyville and lies within the south western boundary of the San Carlos Apache Reservation. This location is just 39 miles north of Catalina, Arizona in the far north suburbs of Tucson and just another 12 miles south to Ina Road and Oracle in north Tucson.

Under the 2003 State Gaming Compact, the San Carlos Apache Tribe is allocated two class III gaming facilities. The San Carlos Apache Tribe, in exercising its inherent sovereign rights, has selected the Dudleyville, Arizona site as the second Class three gaming facility.

The Tribe is planning on opening a temporary facility in 2014 that will house up to 400 slot machines, 10 to 12 table games, including live poker and a small lounge and restaurant. Future plans include building a permanent full service resort facility at this location that will include hotel and convention space.

This project will bring much needed economic benefits to the Tribe and the surrounding

communities by providing 400 plus permanent jobs and millions of dollars of new revenue to the region. It is expected that employment opportunities will be available for tribal members and the local communities starting in early 2014 including construction jobs, as well as numerous permanent jobs.

The Tribe is excited to put this project back on track after the economic down turn of 2008 forced the postponement of the second casino site. The long term economic benefits for the Tribe and surrounding communities cannot be understated.

REVIEWERS, ROUNDTABLE

The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazines film commentators in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of this weekends new releases.

Nickys Family*A documentary on Sir Nicholas George Winton, MBE (born 19 May 1909 and 103 years old) whos exploits would have probably been forgotten if his wife, fifty years later, hadnt found a suitcase in the attic, full of documents and transport plans. A British humanitarian who organized the rescue of 669 mostly Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia on the eve of the Second World War in an operation later known as the Czech Kindertransport. Winton found homes for them and arranged for their safe passage to Britain. The UK press has labeled him the British Schindler. (96 minutes)

*Not screened for review.

Beautiful CreaturesAlden Ehrenreich plays a young man longing to escape his small town while Alice Englert plays a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town. (PG-13 - 100 minutes)

Stan: Having a moderate interest in the The Twilight films, not because of story content rather the adolescent themes that are the base of those films, writer/director Richard LaGravenese presents an intriguing supernatural story centering on the mystics of the light and the dark side powers and the catalysts for choicesby the young lovers that will set in motion the path for their futures and those in their orbit. (Grade: C+)

Joseph: Beautiful Creatures is yet another silly supernatural soap opera - this time spoken in awkward southern accents. The new romantic drama - which is based on the bestselling book of the same title by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl and brought to the big screen by writer/director Richard LaGravenese likely in an attempt to replicate the commercial success of

The Twilight Saga - starts off innocently enough, telling a tale of teenage love with a paranormal twist, but eventually escalating into a massively melodramatic movie in which witches... sorry, casters, per their preference... shout at one another about familial affairs. (Grade: D)

Escape from Planet Earth*Brendan Fraser voices a beefcake space hero who defends his planet against a nefarious villain (James Gandolfini). Additional voice talents include Jessica Alba, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Sarah Jessica Parker. (PG - 95 minutes)

*Screened after deadline.

Transformers(2007) was the first motion picture to be permitted to film in and around the pentagon grounds since 9/11/2001.

When the 26 film screeners began reviewing nearly 1,000 films for the 19th annual Sedona International Film Festival, they were very clear on one point: We didnt want to know who made the film so we wouldnt be influenced one way or the other, said Sagan Lewis, who chairs the selection committee. We just wanted to judge the films on their own merit. The result was 159 films for the weeklong Festival, Feb. 23 to March 3. Films in the documentary, feature and short film categories cover a range of subjects from Last Will. & Testament about William

Shakespeare to Avenue Rats Lost Downtown, a documentary about homeless kids in Seattle to A Virus Called Fear which focuses on how fear controls us to a short list of films for fans of the macabre. People who come to the Festival with an independent film spirit and expectation will be very pleased, Lewis said. Every film weve chosen has a special quality about it, whether its in the message, the theme, cinematography, acting or directing, we believe it will be obvious why the film was chosen. Among the changes this year is a

larger number of short films that the committee matched up with the larger and longer films. There were many short films that we felt were important to show, Lewis explained. We try to match the short films thematically with the larger films and this year we had a great number that afforded us that opportunity. The lineup also includes a number of films with Arizona connections, among them five films from the Sedona Film School (formerly the Zaki Gordon Institute) ranging from Avenue Rats Lost Downtown to the comedy Dinner with Alex and Kate to Dead West about zombies and cowboys. Other Arizona connections include Orchestrating Community, a film about the Flagstaff City Orchestra and Vectors of Autism, the fascinating story of a Cornville resident Laura Nagles 57-year journey with Aspergers Syndrome. In between is a Family Series of movies including the Disney classic, Mary Poppins; an Australian award-winning film, Red Dog, a true story; and even

Bones Brigade, the best movie ever made about skateboarding, Lewis said. Mary Poppins choreographer Dee Dee Wood will be in Sedona for the film and to make presentations to schools in the community.

British actress Joan Collins, perhaps best known as Alexis Carrington in the popular 1980s television show Dynasty, career spans more than 60 years in film, television and stage. She made her Hollywood debut in Howard Hawks Land of the Pharaohs in

1955 and appeared in Island in the Sun in 1957. Collins has selected Rally Round the Flag, Boys!with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, and Decadence for screening.

Other well-known actors who have committed to attend the Festival are David Strathairn (No God No Master), Griffin Dunne and David Rasche (The Discoverers), Frances Fisher (Awakening World and Any Day Now) and Lee Merriweather and Susan Blakely, who both appear in the short film, Remember to Breathe. Workshop panelists this year include Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan.

Festival passes and ticket packages are now available online at www.sedonafilmfestival.org.Films will run all day beginning Tuesday, Feb. 26 on four screens at Sedona Harkins 6, 2081 W. State Route 89A; the Mary D. Fisher Theater, 2030 W. State Route 89A, and the Sedona Performing Arts Center at Sedona Red Rock High School, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road.

Workshops and panel discussions featuring a wide range of topics for filmmakers and film lovers organized by Academy Award-winning producer and Sedona Film Festival board member Kathleen Glynn (Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 911) include Screenwriting, Young

Filmmakers Getting Started, Art Into Activism and Women in Film. Roundtables also will be conducted on topics including producing, directing, financing and marketing independent films as well as on sustainability and the roles of filmmakers and artists in social change and activism.

The Festivals schedule of special events includes an opening-night concert (Saturday, Feb. 23) with 3-time Grammy winner Keb Mo at the Sedona Performing Arts Center at Sedona Red Rock High School; the kick-off to the Sedona Green Series and World Cinema Series (Sunday, Feb. 24) and Oscars on the Rocks (Feb. 24), a live viewing of the Academy Awards ceremony from Hollywood; the Sedona Green Sustainable Roundtable (Saturday, March 2); the premiere of Awakening World with special guest honoree Marianne Williamson (Friday, March 1) at the Sedona Performing Arts Center, and the Awards Celebration Brunch (Sunday, March 3) at the Poco Diablo Resort.

A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan IIICharlie Sheen plays a graphic designer whose enviable life slides into despair when his girlfriend breaks up with him. Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray and Patricia Arquette also star. (R - 86 minutes)

Stan: Writer/director Roman Coppolas presentation of a mind sliding in and out of emotions, mental turmoil, reflecting on the highs and lows of life, the use of eclectic seemingly unrelated sequences, and within any given scene set piecessuch as glowing clocks and over sized items in the background, delivers a disjointed and surrealistic glimpse inside the mind of the central character. Interestingly, it brought to mind Alfred Hitchcocks classic psychoanalytic dream sequence in Spellbound (1945) designed by myfavorite artist Salvador Dali and my quirky fascination with time. The room where Im writing this review has six clocks in it The final scene where cast and crew play to the camera brings one back to the reality of living our lives, and surprisingly, feeling good about it.(Grade: B)

Joseph: I imagine that watching

A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III is exactly like actually experiencing a glimpse inside the mind of anybody on the face of this planet - random, fleeting and surreal. Granted, Mr. Swans noggin is home to things that are arguably much more bizarre - not to mention perverse - than those found in most other peoples brains, but the stream-of-consciousness-like method with which writer/director Roman Coppola explores said contents does not lend itself to any coherence, purpose or insight whatsoever. The films only saving grace is its star Charlie Sheen, who - for better or for worse - was seemingly born to play this particular character. (Grade: D)

Safe Haven*Julianne Hough plays a young woman with a mysterious past who lands in Southport, North Carolina where her bond with a widower (Josh Duhamel) forces her to confront the dark secret that haunts her. (PG-13 - 115 minutes)


A Good Day to Die Hard*Bruce Willis reprises his role as John McClane who this time travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son (Jai Courtney) only to discover that said son is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces. (R - 97 minutes)


Saving Lincoln*Lea Coco plays President Abraham Lincolns self-appointed bodyguard U.S. Marshal Ward Hill Lamon - a banjo-playing Southerner who foiled repeated attempts on the presidents (Tom Amandes) life and kept him functioning during the darkest hours of the Civil War. (NR - 100 minutes)

SPECIAL FEATURESOscar Nominated Director: Nikolaj Arcel ~ A Royal Affair

Oscar Nominated Director: Behn Zeitlin ~ Beasts of the Southern WildBy Stan Robinson

In a year when the higher profile films seemed to have a firm hold on Oscar, co-writer/director Behn Zeitlins smaller film has risen to be become a contender with nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress for Quvenzhan Wallis one of the youngest in Oscar history, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Beasts of the Southern Wild visually presents the differences of the two worlds of living in a water themed society known as New Orleans area called the Bathtub and land based lifestyles surrounding it, director/co-writer Behn Zeitlin merges the elements of his short film and co-writer Lucy Alibars stage play Juicy and Delicious delivering a poignant view of fatherhood, community, and survival as the metaphoric beastly elements threaten to severely alter their very existence.

An outstanding performance by Quvenzhan Wallisas the 6-year-old girl is the catalyst that captures our hearts as her story unfolds.Faced with her fathers (Dwight Henry) fading health and environmental changes that release an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs, a 6-year-old girl (Quvenzhan Wallis) leaves her Delta-community home in search of her mother.

Beasts of the Southern Wild stirred my heart and when the opportunity of chatting with co-writer and director Behn Zeitlin, I didnt hesitate!

The way we got our film made is we had these guys who saw my short and were interested in what we were going to do next. We told them that we have a film in mind but we are not going to be able to explain it to you, you gotta just come down to New Orleans, come hang out with us in a bar and well just talk about the movie all night. Theres no real way to sum it up in like a sentence.

We got kind of down and dirty with them, explaining and talking about that this is what this film is going to feel like, its this mixture of lifestyles, about all these very human stories, a film thats hopeful, about all these things that are huge political and social issues but its not a political or social issue film, its like a folk tale about emotion and these incredibly vibrant characters that are going to defy getting pushed out of their homes, and they are going to do it not by violence but by banding together and refusing to let one another go, transcending race and politics.

The title comes from drawing parallels between these giant creatures that are coming to destroy, these untamable, incredibly strong, powerful, creatures that are psychological hurdles that the characters face in the film. Behn Zeitlin

By Stan Robinson

With drama and intrigue at its finest, in the film A Royal Affair,director/writer Nikolaj Arcel presents the 18th century story that changed the course of history of Denmark. Capturing the essence of the period, its like being transported back in time to experience history first hand. With English subtitles, dont let that deter you from viewing the Danish entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards on February 24, 2013 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and hosted by Seth MacFarlane.

Alicia Vikander plays a young queen who, married to mentally ill King Christian VII of Denmark (Mikkel Boe Flsgaard), falls secretly in love with her physician (Mads Mikkelsen). Together, they start a revolution that changes a nation forever.

Director Nikolaj Arcel shares insight on bringing the story to the screen. A Royal Affair had been cooking for a long time because for Danish people its a very famous story! Its one of the big Holy Grails of films, that has never been done. Its obviously a true story, and a very important piece of Danish history. I had always thought about why nobody had done a film about it, and then at one point I simply had the time to sit down and start reading all the books about the subject, and doing the research became so fascinated I was hooked and couldnt let go! There was no turning back and I spent about year writing the script.

Good point Stan, as a writer it is very liberating to just deliver a script to another director, especially if you trust that director. I like that and still do that, and often I write for other directors. But theres something special

about directing something that youve also written because you at least get to visualize, you get to actually go out and actually experience all those things that you have written down which is nice, and its not even so much a question of control as it is to try to follow through, we got this on page, now let me see if I can honor the script.

The key challenge with telling the story is to balance the budget with the ambition! We had a great deal of ambition, and we planned every single shot, I storyboarded a lot and planned it very thoroughly because you have sort of a Danish kind of budget and you just cant make stuff up as you go along, you have to know exactly what kind of shots you need, what you really want. That was one of the big challenges to be very precise and also for the actors I think it was trying to figure out how to embody persons from the 18th century for a period film.

A Royal Affair is a beautiful love story, forbidden love, and a queen who falls in love with the kings doctor which was lethal, and at the same time its about a doctor who gains power at the court and tries to change the entire nation for the better, which was also a big thing back then so it has a little bit of everything. It has politics, it has drama, its a love story, and it even has a crazy king as the joker of the film and these elements make it quite universal! Nikolaj Arcel

BEER FOR BREAKFAST? HEY, LIVE A LITTLE!

If youve ever found yourself in a European train station early in the morning, youll know that having a beer with breakfast isnt out of the ordinary for some. In fact, beer has a rich history at breakfast, dating back to the 19th century. Thinking of beer as nutritious might be a stretch, but adding a pint to your breakfast table could mean for a spectacular pairing.

Beer, nourishment aside, is a livelier companion. In fact, paired with morning foods such as

oatmeal or granola, unexpected flavors emerge like green tea and chocolate milk.

Coffee beers are an obvious choice, some brewers flavor ales with maple syrup. A home brewing expert in Texas has even experimented with bacon. You neednt be that literal, however. Just think of your morning beer as a side of toast, in a glass. Hey, its Beer Week! Cheers to that!

Beer Week Baby!!! It is the one week a year when we get to indulge in as many different events, and meet as many different beer people as we possibly can. Take vacation, call in sick, order up a limo for the week, but do whatever you have to do to make sure that you are ready to make the most out of Arizona Beer Week. This is the third year for the event and each year it gets better and better. Since this is going to be a long article, let us dispense with the usual banalities and get right into some of the highlights.

Beer Week officially starts on February 16th with the Strong Beer Festival. While the whole week is presented by the Arizona Brewers Guild, this is their real moment to shine. Without question this is the top festival in the state as brewers come from near and far, each looking to outdo the other with some rare goodies. For example, expect to enjoy these goodies: Alaskan Hopothermia, Breckenridge Well Built ESB, Abita Louisiana Oyster Stout (yes oysters), Bells Hopslam (and look for a special tapping of Bourbon Barrel Batch 9000), College Street Brother Deweys Date Night, Peche Mel, Hop Ruiter, Petrus Sour Red Ale, Grand

Canyon Shaggy Bock, Great Divide Peach Grand Cru, SanTanHopFarm Belgian IPA, Sonoran Figmentation (collaboration with Fate Brewing and O.H.S.O Nano Brewery), Big Sky OldeBluehair, both of the Crispin Princess Bride ciders, Left Hand Beer Week Sauceand so much more. For details on this festival and to buy tickets, head over to http://arizonabeerweek.com/13th-annual-arizona-strong-beer-festival/. VIP tickets for this event sold out in about two days, so dont miss out on your chance to get in the door. Designated Driver tickets are also available and for those of you that get nervous at the thought of strong beer, they Guild encourages brewers to bring plenty of lower ABV beer as well. If you are looking to get a little nutrition in you before the festivities start, hit up Angels Trumpet Ale House at 2nd and Roosevelt for their special brunch featuring SanTan beers at a great price. The brunch starts at 10:00 so you have plenty of time to make it to the festival even if you have VIP tickets.

Do you know those folks that just cant wait for Christmas morning? Sure you do. Well some of those same folks cant wait for the 16th to start Beer Week. Those are the ones that are kicking things off early on Friday night. Look for Mellow Mushroom in Happy Valley to tap a special keg of Candela, a Rye based beer that was a collaboration between Green Flash and Cigar City. If you are in the Arcadia area, check out O.H.S.O Local Firkin night. Plenty of great Arizona beers served in the traditional cask method. If education is your interest, Whole Foods in Chandler will have their weekly Beer School featuring New Belgium and Left Hand Brewing beers. The real bonus here is that Left Hand founder, Eric Wallace will be a guest professor. Finally, if you like the late nights, Public House Garage has a SKA Brewing Pinstripe Promo starting at 8:30.

There are also people that dont want the party to end. Thats okay because

there are three after parties Saturday night following the Strong Beer Festival. O.H.S.O. has a Colorado Beer Night and once again Eric Wallace

from Left Hand will be in attendance. When that wraps up around 8:30, Eric will head over to Yucca Tap Room to prove that Enough is Never Enough. T.T. Roadhouse in Scottsdale will be Burning the Candle at Both Ends with Abita beers including a Cajun food truck. That party should rock all night long.

Sunday is a great day for exercise and SanTan Brewing has a bike pub crawl that leaves the brewery around Noon. Also at Noon, T.T. Roadhouse will be the starting point for a Scottsdale bike pub crawl. If you are more into keeping the festival going, head over to Boulders on Broadway for their annual Beer Fest. Smaller than the Strong Beer, but more intimate, spend some time chatting with the various brewery reps and enjoying a mellow afternoon in Tempe.

Things heat up on Monday with Magic Hat and Pilsner Urquell teaming up at

the Dirty Drummer on 44th Street to present the Original Magical Promo. If you have not had the new Express Cold Shipped Pilsner Urquell, this is a

great chance to try it. No other import arrives fresher and tasting more like it does in its hometown. But there is more, Taste of Tops has a Lost Coast Promo (and we hear Lost Coast has sent some special beers for the week), Sun Devil has an Abita SpecTAPular, Oskar Blues has a Brewski Ball Tournament at Little Woody and a promo at Coach and Willies. Finally, if you need something to eat, Ska will be the featured beer at a beer dinner at Mellow Mushroom CityNorth and the ubiquitous Eric Wallace will host a Left Hand dinner at new favorite Pig and Pickle in Scottsdale.

Tuesday keeps the ball rolling and one of the feature events has to be the Beer and Cheese Pairing Class at World of Beer. Teaming up with Global Beer Network and Wedge and Bottle Cheese Shop, the folks at WOB have an amazing six course pairing menu.

New Albion Brewing, History In The Making, Again! BY KING JAMES SWANN Hello again craft beer lovers, today lets take a minute to turn back the clock and have a look at NewAlbion, the brewery many credit with starting the craft beer movement way back in Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Six. Founded by Jack McAuliffe with an eye on small batch high quality ales, New Alboin had a small but dedicated following of beer enthusiasts and curious locals. One such local resident was none other than beer legend and Sierra Nevada founder Ken Grossman. Coincidence? I dont think so!

As Jacks business began to grow he quickly realized that banks, investors and lenders of that era hadnt yet come round to his way of thinking and was our economy began to falter so did the disposable income of the local residents. It wasnt long before the doors were closed and the brewery equipment was sold off to cover the expenses.

Fast forward to Two Thousand and Twelve and Jim Koch, inventor of Sam Adams and head of the Boston Beer Company locates Jack McAuliffe with a proposition. Lets take it from the top and do it all over again! Using the very same malt bill, cascade hops and even the original yeast strain, Jack and Jim have recreated New Albion Ale but only for a limited time.

I have been told by local Boston Beer representative Jason Rojas that proceeds from the sale of this brew will go to benefit Jack as he had fallen hard times after the demise of his brewery. I cant think of a better benefactor than the man credited with starting it all. Look for New Albion Ale in six packs and on tap at all of your favorite craft beer destinations and taste a bit of American history.

Until Next Week, Cheers!

New Belgium will be manning some taps there for a fun event. Draw 10 in Phoenix has an Evening in Colorado where you may see some of the stars of the Colorado craft beer industry in attendance. Oskar Blues has two events going on both starting at 6:00. Up in Grayhawk they are taking on SanTan in a taste challenge at Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers, but dont worry the real winner here is you. Also, the folks from Longmont will be at Angels Trumpet for Slippery Trumpet night. If you are a bicycle rider, this is a great stop. Slippery Pig Bike Shop will be in attendance doing

mini bike tune-ups and will host a short night ride starting at 6:00. For those of you who prefer to stay and drink, there will be plenty of Oskar Blues on tap.

Divide Yeti Night featuring 15 different Great Divide beers including most of the variations of Yeti Imperial Stout. In Chandler The Hungry Monk once again transforms into Bells Eccentric Caf West as they offer 21 different Bells beers on tap, most of which are beers that were sent to Arizona especially for the event. Look for a special tapping of Black Note and Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout. Proceeds from the Black Note go to the American Heart Association.

If you are still standing on Saturday morning, you can head over to Arcadia Tavern for Bars on Bikes. Bring your bike and hit up five fantastic bars finishing up back at Arcadia Tavern for a barbecue. If you are not up for riding, how about learning about bike maintenance? Handlebar and Grill offers Bikes, Brews, Bloodys and Brats which is exactly what it sounds likea little bit of everything featuring New Belgium. At Angels Trumpet, it is an Afternoon in Belgium where you can enjoy some outstanding Belgian beers on the patio.

This event features the incredible trio of Big Sky (Big Don), Ska (Arlo, the Barroom Hero) and Breckenridge (Tebo, the Mayor of LoDo) and if you bring two canned food items for St. Marys Food Bank you get your first beer for a penny. Afterwards, the same three brewers will be featured in the Finale, a pub stroll down Mill stopping at random bars, spreading joy and goodwill wherever they leaveI mean go.

2nd Annual Eccentric Caf at The Hungry Monk to feature 20 Bells Beers on TapFebruary 22nd from 3pm

Midnight!

Bells Brew ery has an annual tra di-tion of host ing Eccen tric Day at Bells Eccen tric Cafein Kala ma zoo, MI. This fun, offbeat, crazy kind of party allows patrons and staff alike to dress up in crazy cos tumes, eat food and drink a wide variety of Bells beer. Theres only one rule, come in a cos tume or dont come at all. That tradition, now in its second year, is continued during Ari-zona Beer Week at The Hun gry Monk in Chandler.

Last year, Eccentric Caf was a huge hit during Arizona Beer Week and this year The Hungry Monk will do it all again on Friday, February 22 from 3pm- midnight and featuring more than 20 of Bells Brewery beers including special tappings of Black Note and Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout.

Some of the other Bells Brewery beers featured at the Eccentric Caf include Hopslam Ale, Le Batteur, Le Pianiste, Expedition Stout, Amber Ale, Kalamazoo Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Oberon Ale, Smitten Ale and many more. So, dig out your best costumes and head down to The Hungry Monk on Friday, February 22 from 3pm- midnight for this very special event. For more info, be sure to like The Hungry Monk on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/thehungrymonk.Special Tapping Schedule is as follows: Black Note (6:30 p.m.) - One of the most sought-after stouts in Bells history, Black Note Stout blends the complex aromatics of Expedition Stout with the velvety smooth texture of Double Cream Stout and ages the combination in freshly retired oak bourbon barrels for months. The resulting harmony of flavors captures the finest features of all three components: malty notes of dark chocolate, espresso & dried fruits, all buoyed by the warmth and fragrance of the bourbon barrel. Aimed squarely at the stout and bourbon aficionados, Black Note makes a grand statement about the art of the dark. 11.5% abv. 100% of the proceeds from Black Note will benefit the American Heart Association.

Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout (7:30 p.m.) - Aged in freshly retired bourbon barrels for 6-8 months, this beer takes Bells Cherry Stout to a new level. Introducing the oaky, vanilla notes of bourbon to an already heady mix of tart cherries and dark, roasted malts, this stout seduces the palate. Bourbon Barrel Aged Cherry Stout has been made for draft on a handful of occasions over the years and bottled once. 11.0% abv.Visit the Hungry Monk online at www.hungrymonkaz.com or like on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/thehungrymonk.
