Happy weekend, ladies! I hope you’ve been enjoying a little more frequency in my posting since I’ve been back. I’m trying really hard to stick with it, and that’s why I knew, despite the fact that this week has been non-freakin-stop for me, I had to get this post out with all of the exciting things that have hit my inbox (and my life). So grab a LaCroix on this chilly (#yesssss) Saturday afternoon, buckle up, and let’s get into it!

Your Philly Beer Week Cheat Sheet
It’s time to welcome an unofficial start to summer (with some booze, of course): Philly Beer Week is here!
Some of us are used to using a beer delivery service and having our favorite beers delivered to our front door. However, this beer festival gives us all the opportunity to try new beers and get a taste for some new flavors.
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!
Moving on, Philly Beer Week might be one of the best beer events you might attend, so it would only be fitting to go mentally prepared. 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. This, coupled with brunches and dinners might just make your week. Considering that there may be many first-timers, there may be more beer to drink than you imagine. You could prepare yourself in case you have one too many beers and end up with a bad hangover the next day by getting yourself a hangover kit or just keeping some ORS and antacids handy. In addition to that, you could eat a hearty breakfast to move on to the next series of events the following day. Let the fun continue!
To help us all sort through the list of events, I asked the Philly Beer Week team to narrow down their favorites 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
