Coffee, beer and scone-biscuit hybrids called sconscuits — it’s all happening in the backyard of Sportsman’s Club. The bar’s three-hour Brunch Pop-up-a-Trois ($21) features a keg of double-strength Dark Matter iced coffee, made from bourbon-washed coffee beans aged in a barrel that once held cabernet sauvignon and ale (the one time it’s OK to mix beer, wine and liquor); beers from Middle Brow, including the final keg of Cobrastyle, a sought-after coffee ale; Sportsman’s Club snow cones made with Letherbee’s Besk; and a sconscuit bar from Edgewater’s Sauce and Bread Kitchen. A buck from each ticket benefits Adopt-a-Beach in Chicago. 1-4 p.m. Aug. 8; 948 N. Western Ave.; search Brunch Pop-up-a-Trois on
