Founding Fathers' boozy history lesson
Here's something you can take in during Beer Week 2010 that won't get you buzzed: a quick history session on Philly's beer culture dating back to the Founding Fathers. Ben Franklin's brewing adventures and Benjamin Rush's Moral Thermometer Chart — which basically says control yourself or meet the gallows — are just a few notes in the lesson plan. Brew N History Tours around the Christ Church Burial Ground (Fifth and Arch) take off at 3:30 p.m. each day from June 7 to 11, and tickets run $2 for adults, $1 for students and $10 for groups up to 25 people. Tours are only 20 minutes, people. I'm sure you can tear yourselves away from drinking to replenish those brain cells you're killing off.
