All You Hold BeerAvenue Pub, Local Bars Plan Menu of Tasting, Crawls to Celebrate American Craft Beer Week New Orleans’ fourth Craft Beer Week is almost here, so put your drinking pants on and get ready to learn about that American industry that combines the ruggedly individual spirit of drinking something that isn't Bud or Miller, and the very communal act of gathering over a brew. Jolly Jaunts: Reindeer, Santas Set to Run for CBD Holiday Cheer Usually, we mark our holidays by standing around and drinking. But, in the already-bustling CBD, the holidays are a time for running. For those of us old enough to partake in winter's finest warming beverages (and don a beard), next week's Running of the Santas will provide all the elixirs, along with NOLA's answer to a Flaming Lips concert. But in the Spirit of Christmas etiquette guide, reindeer are always first. On Saturday, the Reindeer Run lets all the red-nosed kids run free down Canal St. Today's Events: 7.9.11 July 9, when the 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, granting full citizenship to African Americans (1868), when the inaugural Wimbledon Championships opened (1877), when British and Canadian forces captured Caen, France in WWII’s Battle of Normandy (1944), when Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans exhibition opened at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles(1962), and when Pan Am Flight 759 crashed in Kenner, Louisiana, killing 145 (1982); it’s when June Jordan (1936), O.J. Simpson (1947), Courtney Love (1964), Jack White (1975), and Fred Savage (1976) were born, and when Zachary Taylor, the nation’s 12th President, died. So take a walk in City Park, and then: Rolling of the BullsMr. Testis, New Route Await San Fermin Fiesta Goers This weekend, the CBD will be transformed into a wild, red and white, fanatical fiesta of sangria, music and bulls, as the city pays homage to the festival of San Fermin, which takes place in Pamplona, Spain.
