Now in the midst of Beer Week, Philadelphians have the chance to satiate their ears as well as their throats. The craft beer craze sweeping this hops-happy city finds its roots in George Hummel’s Sansom Street store, Home Sweet Homebrew, which he opened in 1986 with his wife Nancy. The shop offers beer- and wine-making supplies for customers of all levels of expertise looking to join the vibrant brewing community.

In The Complete Homebrew Beer Book Hummel shares the his knowledge about the essentials of beer-making that won him the silver medal at the 2009 Great American Beer Festival. He'll be joined by brewing historian Rich Wagner, who will assist in elaborating on Philadelphia’s important place in the history of the homebrew, this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Philadelphia Free Library’s Central Branch (1901 Vine St.).
