Memphis Made pop-up in The Ravine and more news

Memphis Made Brewing Co. is getting ready to open its second location Downtown. In anticipation of that location, they’re offering Saturday pop-up events in The Edge all summer long.

Every Saturday Memphis Made will have beer, food trucks on site, and live music on their patio overlooking The Ravine, a pocket park in the location of a former railroad spur from Union to Madison. The hours will be 4 to 10 PM.

This Saturday will feature Kitty Dearing & The Dagnabbits at 6 PM and the Hot N Heavy Dogs food truck. Enter the building at 16 S. Lauderdale and go down the hall and down the stairs… or, if you prefer, enter The Ravine at 607 Monroe or 571 Marshall.

Congratulations to my friends Luke and Sheryl, who got engaged last night!!!
