PREGAME: Your Saturday guide to pork, pints and Snookification

This was NOT at a costume contest.

Saturday, Feb. 20 is shaping up to be rife with opportunities for mass consumption -- good thing all those snow days have gotten us into fightin' (read: heavy drinkin') shape.

The Institute (549 N. 12th St.) will be roasting whole pigs and pouring draft Yards brews from 2-7 p.m., including IPA, ESA, Philly Pale Ale, Brawler and a special firkin of George Washington Porter. $40 buys all the pork and pints you can handle, plus vegetarian options and mashed sweet potatoes.

Chris LaPierre has a Situation. His class-defying golden barleywine is strong, has a big nose and will definitely appeal to ladies who understand a Situation can be more than just dark and sweet. Join Lappy, co-conspirator Suzanne "Beer Lass" Woods and Flying Fish brewer Casey Hughes at Iron Hill Maple Shade (124 E. Kings Highway, Maple Shade, NJ) from 1-5 p.m. for The Situation release party complete with big hair, majorly broiled tans and a bedazzled array of faux Affliction gear. (That's for the costume contest, kids.)

We told you about the Foodery Beer Academy on Wed.; class is in session at Local 44 (4333 Spruce St.) at 3 p.m. on Saturday. $15 scores tastes of 12 brews across a range of styles and instruction on expanding your beer vocabulary.
