Guess who's coming to dinner?

Joe Sixpack on the job

Philly Beer Week co-founder and writer Don “Joe Sixpack” Russell will host a Brooklyn Brewery beer dinner this Wed., Feb. 17 from 7-9 p.m., at Iron Abbey Gastro Pub (680 N. Easton Road, Horsham PA). Forty bucks gets you innovative fare paired with Brooklyn Brewery's finest pours. (It must be mentioned that dessert is a "beer float" of Black Chocolate Stout. Like, whoa.) “Sixpack”, who makes a living drinking beer and writing about it for the Philadelphia Daily News (as well as organizing beer events, authoring books and making public appearances) will also be giving guests the run-down of the brewery, its origin and those beers they are throwing back. Reservations required! Call 215-956-9600 so you can taste that float.

UPDATE: Thanks to commentor Pete LaVerghetta, who correctly noted that Joe Sixpack has more revenue streams than just the Daily News. This post has been corrected to reflect his many jobs.

No. If you had bothered to click the link that you thoughtfully included, you'd see that he makes a living doing a bunch of beer related stuff. He took a buyout from the DN, so he's not exactly a staffer. He writes books, does tours, hosts events like this one, and plans beer festivals. That's an article right there, the post-dead-tree writing world.
