Catching up with more news from the past week in local craft beer:

• Tickets are on sale for River City's third annual International Marmot Festival on Dec. 2, featuring eight variations on the seasonal Midnight Marmot imperial stout infused with ingredients from around the globe.

For $25, the first 50 ticket buyers can get 2-ounce tasters of each beer, a 12-ounce pour of their favorite and a souvenir glass. After that, tickets will be $20 in advance (not including the glass) and $25 at the door.

• It may seem a bit redundant given current conditions, but Perry Street Brewing's Pray For Snow party returns for a fourth year on Nov. 16. Again look for snow sports-related raffles and giveaways, vintage ski attire and dance contests and classic ski films on the big screen; proceeds benefit Grant Elementary School's T.E.A.M. Grant.   

• Also on Nov. 16, Remedy Kitchen and Tavern is presenting a four-course Hop Valley beer dinner featuring the Light Me Up Lager, Hefe, Solid Baby and Imperial Mistress IPAs and VIP Vanilla Infused Porter; tickets are $55.

Badass Backyard has received the final permits it needed from the City of Coeur d'Alene to open its planned satellite tasting room there, in the back of the Coeur d'Alene Fresh retail complex. No opening date has been announced.
