BEER: Capitol City Brewing Company is hosting an Oak-Aged Fuel tapping party at its Penn Quarter location.

And if you haven’t already, check out our Best of Penn Quarter package.
MUSIC: Country group Joey and Rory are performing at the Rams Head tonight. In 2010, the husband-and-wife duo won the Academy of Country Music award for Top New Vocal Duo. You can listen to some of their songs here. Tickets ($22.50) can be purchased through the event’s Web site. 8 PM.
If you’re in the mood for something edgier, Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox and his side project, Atlas Sound, are dropping by the Black Cat. “You’d be hard-pressed to find an artist who’s produced as much inspired music as Cox did between 2007 and 2008, a remarkably prolific year in which he released the equivalent of four full-length and nearly flawless albums under the Deerhunter and Atlas Sound names,” says NPR. Tickets ($15) can be purchased through the club’s Web site. 8 PM.
