It’s time to welcome in unofficial start to summer (with some booze, of course): Philly Beer Week is here! Now through June 12th, our city will be flowing with the best ales, lagers, and stouts alike in a celebration of all things beer, and the excitement is real.
Now, if you’re anything like me, sorting through this massive list of events and picking the few that you’d like to make time for is a high pressure situation and involves a lot of time that’s pretty fleeting at the moment. Another true life fact: in my years in Philly, I’ve never even been to an official Philly Beer Week event! Mostly because I had to look up a third beer type to list above and don’t want to embarrass myself in front of bearded, beer-loving men, but don’t be mistaken: PBW is for everyone!
To help us all sort through the list, I asked the Philly Beer Week team to narrow down their favorite events to a Top 5 list for PBW beginners (you’ll see those labeled with {PBW Starter Pack} below), plus I threw in 5 of my own picks that just seemed too amazing to leave out. Check out the list, and let me know which #PBW2016 events you’re heading to this year. Happy drinking! xx
