Weekend Eats: Dinner Theater, Brewery Birthdays, and More

The weekend is so close you can practically taste it. Here are the edible events going on in the next few days to keep you occupied -- and sated, for that matter.
Eagle Rock Brewery's birthday: Father-and-son-owned Eagle Rock Brewery is celebrating its anniversary this weekend over at Verdugo Bar. Their Solidarity, Manifesto, Populist and Revolution brews will be available at the tap takeover on Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. In addition to the classics, they'll also be pouring a new beer called Threes, a rye American strong ale that was brewed especially for the b-day party. $15 gets you two pours plus a commemorative glass.
Dinner Theater at Tom Bergin's: "Meanwhile, Back at Café du Monde...", a food monologue show presented by chefs and food personalities, launches this Sunday and runs through February 11. Tom Bergin’s own Chef Brandon Boudet will perform among others. The show is $25 and includes beignets and Irish coffee.
Clover Juice Opening Deals: A fresh new juice bar just opened over on La Brea, just in time to jump on the tail end of the New Years cleanse bandwagon. Clover first started pressing on Thursday, and are offering 25% discounts on their cleanses to celebrate. If you're not quite ready to give up food yet, they also sell wellness shots, Kombucha on tap, Stumptown Coffee, vegan options from Flore, as well as fresh baked vegan and gluten free pastries and sweets created by Lauren Lobley of LA's Charm City Cakes.
