Special Events On-Tap at Urban Farmer, ISK, MORE

And now, this week's event-planning EaterWire:

DOWNTOWN—Urban Farmer chefs Matt Christianson and Ryan Sturmer know that nothing channels the summertime like barbecue and beer, hence their collaboration with Burnside Brewery's Jason McAdam. This Saturday (June 30), the three dudes will throw a party fit for farmer's-tanned, mosquito-bitten carnivores — notables include Texas-style beef ribs, potato salad and watermelon paired with oatmeal pale ale. For a $40 reservation, visit the official website here. [EaterWire]

PEARL DISTRICT—Head down to Irving Street Kitchen's happy hour for the first of a monthly series of "Tapping Parties," showcasing barrel-to-bar wine releases. Tonight (Tuesday, June 26), Matt Berson of Love and Squalor Wine will be pouring his 2011 Riesling, which the man himself describes as a “grown-up lemonade.” Show up promptly at 5:30p.m. to sample complimentary bites, courtesy of chef Sarah Schafer. More information here. [EaterWire]

WEST LINN—Chef Pascal Chureau will ring in the second anniversary of his West Linn bistro Allium this Saturday, June 30. Offerings include Willakenzie Estate wines, live jazz, and of course, free food (cross your fingers for the duck fat and rosemary fries). No reservations are required for the fete, so just drop by Allium between 4 and 10p.m. More information about the party available here. [EaterWire]
