Beer and pizza, pizza and beer. West Glover’s Parker Pie celebrates mud, glorious mud as only a brew-focused pizzeria can — with uncommon drafts from nearby Hill Farmstead Brewery and an array of rare cellared bottles from Brasserie Cantillon and other old-world breweries. And if good beer and fresh pizza makes your heart want to sing, there’s karaoke, too.

A Mud Season Celebration with Hill Farmstead at Parker Pie: Saturday, April 13, 5-10 p.m., Parker Pie, West Glover. Cost of food and drink. Info: 525-3366; parkerpie.com.
