Black (Out?) Friday at Distillery Row | Pix Pâtisserie's Cupcake Stomping Party

SOUTHEAST — Here's a Black Friday event you may want to attend: The many distilleries along Distillery Row—House Spirits Distillery, New Deal Distillery, Stone Barn Brandyworks, Thomas and Sons Distillery, etc.—will offer spirits tastings and sales at Melody Ballroom this Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. You'll be able to find two gifts from our Holiday Gift Guide there, plus items by local coffee roasters, chocolate makers, and other food artisans.

EAST BURNSIDE — Love macarons and hate cupcakes? Join the similarly macaron-obsessed at Pix Patisserie's fourth annual La Fete du Macaron this Saturday, with 30 types of macaron and the deep-fried Macaronut. You can enter a contest to have your macaron flavor created by Pix, and you can stomp a cupcake and get a free macaron. Really. All macarons cost $2.25, otherwise, and the party runs 2 p.m. to midnight. [EaterWire]

SOUTHEAST — A two-alarm fire broke out near SE 92nd Avenue and Foster Street, and to help residents get back on their feet, Zoiglhouse Brewery and Eagle Eye Tavern are donating a portion of their beer sales through Sunday, November 29. Grab a pint for the hood. [EaterWire]
