Here are a few things you should know about in and around Kingstowne for the week of Aug. 11.

Just a few more weeks before summer vacation is over. So try to go out with a bang by participating in some of these local events this week.

Gordon Biersch continues to celebrate its 25th anniversary
 by offering its house beers for $2.50 every Tuesday through August. The brew pub chain has two locations in Washington, DC (900 F St., NW and 100 M St., SE), a pub in Tysons Corner in McLean (7861 Tysons Corner Center) and another location in Annapolis.

Make Gyotaku fish prints!
 How did Japanese fishermen record their catches? They rolled ink or paint onto them and pressed them against a piece of paper to make a print. Join in on the fun for kids and families using a rubber fish at the Anacostia Community Museum, 1901 Fort Place, SE, Washington, DC on Tuesday, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Free, for information and reservations call 202-6433-4844.
