This week's highlights

If you're hunting for Virginia brewery events this weekend, Saturday, Oct 24, has two on the calendar. Lost Rhino Brewing Co says live music comes to its Halloween market in Ashburn, and 2 Silos Brewing Company's newsletter lists a haunted trail night in Clifton.

On the beer side, Ardent Craft Ales says Songbird is available in cans or bottles to go.

I like that two of these lean into Halloween in completely different ways: one is a market with a band, the other is a trail.
