•Drink up all weekend at the American Beer Fest, which will be taking place in the Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama tonight and tomorrow.

•From when we used to stage elaborate soirees for our teddy bears to college, where tea was a Friday afternoon fixture, we’ve always been suckers for a good tea party. There looks to be a great one at 2:30 at UpStairs on the Square, where Tracy Stern and Christie Matheson will be discussing their new book, Tea Party: 20 Themed Tea Parties with Recipes for Every Occasion, from Fabulous Showers to Intimate Gatherings. The tea costs $28 and you may reserve by calling (617) 864-1933 for reservations. [UpStairs on the Square]
