Six cool things to do in Tucson this weekend (January 7-8)
- Updated
As far as production goes, Sentinel Peak Brewing Company at 4746 E. Grant Road is way ahead of the business plan they mapped out more than three years ago, with even more expansion on the horizon.
The brewery has invested in a 20-barrel brite tank, which will allow owners to up their output from 80 barrels to 150 barrels a month.
The increase gives them the opportunity to start canning, which they hope to start doing in March, according to co-owner Jeremy Hilderbrand.
In the meantime, you can head to the brewery this Saturday to celebrate Sentinel Peak's third anniversary.
Grab a beer and some smoked meats from their revamped food menu. The fun runs from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.

More than 250 Tucsonans have been immortalized as little green army men over the last two years, courtesy of local artists Rudy Flores and Teresa Estrella.
Nearly all of them will be on display during the opening reception of their Army Man Project gallery exhibit this Saturday, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The showing, which will take place at Wee Gallery, 439 N. Sixth Ave., will include a healthy mix of notable Tucsonans, from bartenders and restaurant owners to artists and musicians.

On Sunday, local members of the Society for Creative Anachronism, known as the subjects of The Barony of Tir Ysgithr (read: Tucson-area residents) will be holding a medieval war practice to prepare for Estrella XXXIII, at Himmel Park, 1000 N. Tucson Blvd.
Estrella is a massive, weeklong SCA gathering in mid-February that brings members from all over the southwest to battle in Queen Creek.
The Himmel Park event is purely observational, but it's always a kick to watch local knights and fighters clobber each other with antiquated weaponry.
It runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. More info on the Facebook page.
