Beer, tea, vegan food, bikes and more this weekend

So much going on in the spring...

I'll be at the Craft Beer Fest L.A. at the Echoplex. Hopefully you already have a ticket, but if you didn't plan ahead, there will be some available at the door. Say hi if you see me, I think I'll have a Beer Geek L.A. nametag.

Team Midnight Ridazz sponsors a photo exhibition called Pics: or it didn't happen, images from the L.A. bike scene at the Bike Oven with food from Doomie's. The Downtown vegan restaurant isn't open any more, so get your vegan treats at the Bike Oven, Saturday at 7:30 pm, 3706 Figueroa, Highland Park

Pre-Mother's Day, Algabar Home & Life hosts a matcha-whisking demonstration Saturday from noon - 2 pm and debuts its new tea-flavored marshmallows. The trunk show and celebration runs noon to 5 pm. 342 S. La Brea Ave.

Got any room left? The Los Angeles Barbecue Festival takes place both Saturday and Sunday at the Santa Monica Pier, promising "more beer, more pitmasters and more seating" than last year.
