Animal or vegetable?
We love local food, we love competition, and both are in store Sunday night at the Farmers Market Sweep, Brooklyn’s first ever food-themed game show. Littlefield’s the face-off venue, where writers, bloggers, editors and other food whizzes will answer questions on farm and food-political trivia to compete for the title of Champion Locavore. Also on-hand will be the night’s sponsor, Bikeloc, the Pollan-inspired cycling duo about to ride cross-country throwing potlucks in the name of locavorism. Of course there’ll be homemade snacks for the evening, and the 7 p.m. game will be followed by the savory sounds of Smoothe Moose Laboratories at 8:30, with Brooklyn-based cellist/electronic musician Cosmo D and beat master DJ Saucy Crotch. $12 in advance (or at the door if you bike there); $15 at the door otherwise. More info and tickets here.
This is the seventh in our series on the venues featured in the Brokelyn Beer Book. Today, The Black Mountain Winehouse in Gowanus, where the blazing fireplace will keep you warm through these waning weeks of winter.

It’s being put together by an alternative-y sounding bunch of folks who promise that you can, and will, build a humble but cute sea-worthy vessel like the one pictured in two-and-a-half days.
