Bad kids sit in the back of the bus: Jump on the Craft Beer Express
 |
| Bus it up. |
The beer drinkers are coming, the beer drinkers are coming! But rather than staggering through the streets or worse, operating two wheels or four, they'll be carted around in buses to eight different bars. "People can take a train in from the suburbs and jump on one of our buses," says Johnny Brenda's and Standard Tap co-owner William Reed. "The not-driving aspect was on our minds," he adds. With buses scheduled to run every 30 minutes, the fun sport of hailing a cab is also removed from the equation. Now you can just relax and savor the hops and malt at each location.
Think of this as part of a makeshift beer weekend that came as a result of the move of Philly Beer Week from March to June. Many of the bars included in this bus ride to heaven were already planning a beer related event for this weekend: Devil's Den has a beer and cheese pairing in the works and Jose Pistola's will have an Ithaca Brewing brunch. "The bars aren't competing," says Kite and Key co-owner Jim Kirk. "We're all friends." And as such, the bar owners put their heads together and came up with an event that will send beer tasters pinballing around the city. Check out the details, including bar stops and events, and purchase tickets on Johnny Brenda's Web site.
