3. The Washington Brewers Guild is gearing up for its 15th annual Washington Cask Beer Festival at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. Beer geeks rejoice: This year’s festival will be the largest ever, with 41 breweries pouring cask-conditioned beer. The event takes place on Saturday, March 22, and Seattle Beer News says to get your tickets now or risk them selling out.

4 The mess of light rail-related construction on Broadway has led to reduced foot traffic for local businesses along the busy Capitol Hill strip. To mitigate this, Sound Transit is offering a chance to win a three-mile underground walking tour of the U-Link tunnel from Capitol Hill to the University of Washington when you eat at Annapurna between now and March.

5. If you’re planning to consume more dairy after reading yesterday’s food news, be prepared: dairy analysts are predicting a rise in store milk prices in March – as much as 60 cents, bringing shelf prices to their highest ever.
