Vikings after-party

If you don't get enough Vikings action at today's game, check out the second annual After-Game Season Kick Off Party at Aqua in downtown Minneapolis. Superstar running back Adrian Peterson will host the night, with proceeds benefiting his All Day Foundation. Other Vikings should be there, too. Might we see Brett Favre? Hmm, not sure he's the club-going type.

10 p.m. today, 400 1st Av. N., Mpls. $10, or $5 with a back-to-school item.

21 and older. 612-232-3232. www.aquampls.com

Dutch master

One of the world's top trance DJs is back in Minneapolis. Dutchman Ferry Corsten comes to Epic tonight as he continues to tour behind his 2008 album "Twice in a Blue Moon."

10 p.m. today, 110 N. 5th St., Mpls. $20-$25. 18 and older. 612-332-3742. www.epicmpls.com.

Belgians at the Blue Nile

If you're a beer geek who loves to debate great brews, check out the Blue Nile this weekend. Bartender Al McCarty has put together a beer taste-off that he's calling the "Battle of the Belg." He's pitting his best Belgian beers against his best American (Belgian-style) beers. Your tastebuds will do the deciding. He's offering three 4-ounce pours for $8.

4-10 p.m. today-Sun., 2027 E. Franklin Av., Mpls. 612-338-3000. www.bluenilempls.com
