Killer Bend Night
Killer Beer Week continues with a taste of Central Oregon on Hawthorne, as Bend represents with special pours from Boneyard, GoodLife, Crux, and more. Here’s hoping there’s a shot-ski. Growlers Taproom, 3343 SE Hawthorne Blvd. 5-10 pm. Free.
Modern Times Coffee & Beer Extravaganza
Modern Times, coming into the Commons brewing space, is not just a brewery but a roastery. Taste both their coffee and their beer at Tin Bucket, with four specialty beans plus plenty of rare brews including a barrel-aged cuvee, and a barrel-aged Old Ale-Stout hybrid made with barrel-aged coffee. Drink up, then stay up. Tin Bucket, 3520 N Williams Ave. 5 pm. Free.

Day of the Dead Beer
Baerlic resurrects a few of its now-retired mainstays as part of this Halloween-themed celebration, including fresh pints of its ever-tasty Primeval Brown Ale — a hoppy brown beer that we wish never got buried in the first place. Baerlic Brewing Company, 2235 SE 11th Ave. 6-10 pm. Free.

Dia de Los Muertos Beerfest
Bazi and nearby Imperial Bottleshop (Southeast 31st and Division) team up yet again for a two-day ode to death. The two spots will both tap a mess of Mexican-influenced or muerto-themed beer, whether Undead Party Crasher stout from Clown Shoes, tequila-barrel-aged pinapple-guava sour from Culmination or tamarind cider from 2 Towns. Bazi, 1522 SE 32nd Ave. 4-10 pm. $15 nets 10 five ounce pours, or $2 gets you a single.
