A look at the weekend in local craft beer:

FRIDAY

IPA March Madness continues for a fourth week at Manito Tap House with blind flights of four Washington IPAs; the winner in customer voting advances to the Final Four along with the first three weeks' winners, with the grand champion getting a permanent tap handle for the coming year.

Whistle Punk is pouring a Pineapple Smoothie IPA.

– The weekly small-batch releases at Badass Backyard are a hazy Milkshake IPA and a Cascadian dark ale.

SATURDAY

Bombastic has a pickup day for four bottled beers – Coffee Malice Imperial Stout, Common Wisdom Double IPA, Uncommon Wisdom English Style IPA and Business Adambier – from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the production brewery in Hayden; order online in advance. A  Chocolate Murder Cake stout brewed with cocoa nibs and cake mix also will be on tap.
