Although the Cornetto Trilogy has made plain that Simon Pegg is a beer guy, or at least a guy who likes hanging out in pubs, The A.V. Club is pairing him with cocktails next month. On February 5, we’re going to screen his new film, A Fantastic Fear Of Everything, and have cocktails at Winter Session Outpost in Denver.
Denverites may know that Winter Session is neither a movie theater nor a bar, but a crafter of hand-made bags and other stuff. So why will we be drinking and watching a movie there? Well, why not? But also, because this is part of a new event series we’re hosting with Basil Hayden’s that merges pop culture and craftsman—in this case, the folks behind Winter Session, mixologist Chad George from Williams & Graham (no, not that Chad George), and a movie we’re excited about. A.V. Club editor Kyle Ryan will be on hand to introduce the movie, and George is going to create a special cocktail for everyone to try.
