Ice Cream for a Cause; Crazy Bloody Marys

PARK CITIES—The upcoming Life is Sweet event will host a kickoff party at Tootsies in Preston Center next Wednesday, March 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. with music, cocktails, small bites by ZuZu, and ice cream by Carnival Barker's.

BEER WIRE—Craft beer fans will be pleased to hear that Lakewood Brewing Company has four new brews in store for summer, including a Belgian-style dark ale, a saison, a pale ale, and a Flemish summer pilsner. [Pegasus News]

DEEP ELLUM—Remember that beastly Bloody Mary at Anvil Pub? It will be making an appearance again this Sunday, and this time the garnishes will adhere to an Easter(ish) theme — think quail eggs, bacon-wrapped jalapenos, beef jerky, and who knows what else. [Central Track]
