Letting someone else name your child is scary, but letting someone else name your beer can be fun.

Crooked Tooth Brewing Co. has brewed up an exclusive New England IPA for Hotel Congress. The release party is at the hotel at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 13, and they need your help naming the beer.

The session beer features grapefruit, citrus, and pine notes at 5.4% ABV, approachable for all levels of beer drinkers.

Glasses of the beer will be $4 at the event, so have a taste of the beer itself before you try naming it. Try to be more creative than “Grapefruit McCitrusy,” though.

The event is free to enter.

For more information, call (520) 622-8848, or visit hotelcongress.com.

@Bktacos made @Nytimes’ list of 41 standout Mexican restaurants across the country. Published Aug. 13, the list was compiled by reporters, editors and photographers who spent more than a year traveling the U.S. 

BK was the only Tucson restaurant included. Writer Bill Esparza highlighted its combination of Sonora-style carne asada and Sonoran hot dogs, a pairing he noted is distinct to Arizona. Benjamin and Karel Galaz, originally from Nacozari, Sonora, opened the restaurant in 1994.

Congratulations, @bktacos!🎉
