POINT BREEZE — SPTR's Fifth Annual Beef & Beer is coming up this Sunday, January 26. Try to shake the pale visions of fundraisers and instead, think well-chosen firkins (Nugget Nectar, 75-Minute IPA, Founders Porter) and classics from tartare to dry-aged Creekstone NY strip. Tickets run $75 a head, or $45 for designated drivers; see the full menu here, then call for tickets. [EaterWire]
MANAYUNK — Hey, remember that new Insomnia Cookies location that was in progress in Manayunk? They opened today. Free cookies! [Facebook]
LAFAYETTE HILL — Tomorrow (Thursday, January 23), Barren Hill Tavern is doing a pie and beer tasting. It's pretty self-explanatory, happily. [Foobooz]
