By acquiring RateBeer, AB InBev now owns a treasure trove of data, including the preferences and locations of active and passionate beer drinkers.

If you’ve ever sat around and thought “Hey, I could go drink for drink with Jason Momoa,” Rob McElhenney as a suggestion for you: don’t. Taking to Instagram , the It’s Always Sunny star shared an image with Momoa, warning his followers to go “beer for beer” with the Aquaman star. “If you value your life,” McElhenney shared with the picture, taken at a gala of some sort. “Don’t try to go beer for beer with this man.” Momoa was then sure to include a not-so-family-friendly hand gesture to complete the ultimate party pic.
TODAY’S LOCAL STEW
THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN THE BIGFOOT, The Grand Cinema: The story follows a legendary American war veteran named Calvin Barr who, decades after serving in WWII and assassinating Adolf Hitler, must now hunt down the fabled Bigfoot. Living a peaceful life in New England, the former veteran is contacted by the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to lead the charge as the creature is carrying a deadly plague and is hidden deep inside the Canadian wilderness. Think of this as an exceedingly solid B-movie — but it does deliver both pulp thrills (killing Hitler! hunting Bigfoot!) and an affecting story about aging, regret, and loneliness. 2 and 6:45 p.m., $5.50-$8, 606 S. Fawcett, Tacoma
