Gearing up for Philly Beer Week, June 4-13

In just a few weeks, the brains of beer drinkers in town will be all a-ferment, bubbling with enthusiasm for our third annual Philly Beer Week. On Fri., June 4, Mayor Michael Nutter will wield the Keg Hammer of Glory to break into the first keg at the local brew-oriented Opening Tap festival ($45) in the Independence Visitor's Center in Old City. Even East Philadelphia (better known as the proximal towns of New Jersey) is getting into the act this year -- you can take free tours of Flying Fish in Cherry Hill and Iron Hill Maple Shade on Sat., June 5, then be ferried around by free trolley from the PATCO station and pub-to-pub when you hit the Haddon Township Pub Crawl. Opening weekend promises to be sheer madness, especially since it coincides with the 26th annual Philadelphia International Cycling Championship on Sun., June 6. Manayunk venues like Cooper's Brick Oven Pizza & Wine Bar and the Old Eagle Tavern have already planned bike-race parties and brunches. Participating bars and restaurants have already begun loading their events into the Beer Week calendar that lives on the right sidebar of the website. Search by brewery, venue or date to find your can't-miss events.
