Beer may be one of the only substances in the universe with the power to transmogrify the sound of bagpipes into something fit for human consumption. This annual charity fundraiser for Seattle Firefighters Pipes & Drums and Seattle's Bravest Charity features an array of kilted-and-bagpiped performances and is held at the Old Pequliar, which is serving drinks at happy hour prices all day long in honor of the occasion. There will also be an entire pig, roasted, with all the fixings. Support firefighters. Drink beer. Eat pig. Repeat. (Old Pequliar, 1722 NW Market St, 782-8886, noon–6 pm, $20, 21+)
