Memphis Made Brewing Co. has announced plans for its weekly pop-up Saturday in The Ravine and on the patio of its new location at 435 Madison. Pickleball Memphis will be there with four courts. The pop-up will run from noon to 10 PM. Aaron & Renee Brame will supply the live music at 7 PM. Good Groceries and MemPops will be the food trucks onsite.
Yesterday was a nice reprieve from the 90s, but we’re back in the oven today as sunshine returns by midmorning and temps soar. Highs will be in the mid 90s with heat indices near 105, prompting a Heat Advisory that likely lasts multiple days. Wind SW at 10 mph.
