Jedi masters will celebrate the “Star Wars”-inspired holiday, May the Fourth, at these beer hangouts:

“May the Fish Be With You” party at Beerfish (2933 Adams Ave., Normal Heights) will include movie screenings, a specialty cider — ACE Space from ACE California Cider — and souvenir glassware, hoodies and T-shirts. 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Lightsaber battles and a “Star Wars” art gallery will fill Intergalactic Brewing’s tasting room (9715 Carroll Centre Rd., Suite 107, Mira mesa). Bonus: the release of a Death Star-themed triple IPA, That’s No Moon. 4 to 9 p.m.

He is past president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and a former Fulbright scholar. He has won a few journalism awards, but would trade them all for a chance to avenge his 1994 “Jeopardy!” loss. Married to a terrific woman who has saved him from errors in writing and in life, he has three sons. At the U-T, Rowe writes profiles and features and is even paid to review beers, which hardly seems fair.
