Good news, burger junkies: Jose Mendin's summer burger series returns this week.

Monday through Thursday through August 3, snag one of Mendin's meat-and-cheese patties during dinner service. Every Wednesday, try a rotating burger courtesy of a guest collaboration from the likes of Crumb on Parchment's Michelle Bernstein, Sarsaparilla Club's Janine Booth, and even New Times food editor Laine Doss.

Concrete Beach presents regular informative sessions that allow you to get a little more intimate with your hoppy brews. The brewery considers making beer an art form, so to share the ins and outs of creating the product, it offers a program of monthly themed classes, Brew House Rock. June's focus is on the “backbone of beer”: malt. The session is cheaper than a beer and includes a one-hour class and tasting.

Nothing says summer like light bites, good tunes, and outdoor festivals (as long as the outdoors part is at night). So the Grooves & Food Festival meets all the criteria to kick off the steamy season. There will be live art, comedy, music, food from Smart Bites, and goods from local vendors. The folks at the artist collective Dirty5ive are throwing this event to foster community and support for local creatives, so show some love to these Miami makers while grooving into summer.
