POSTED: Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 5:24 PM

We're only six months away from the roughest, toughest week in drinking challenges (outside of Mardi Gras): Philly Beer Week 2010, June 4-13.

Fairmount brew mainstay Bridgid's (726 N. 24th St.) is celebrating PBW's half-birthday with a series of events that get you in fighting shape for this year's revelry. Tonight (Tue., Dec. 8) and tomorrow (Wed., Dec. 9) offer both drinking and shopping opportunities with Clean Out the Basement Nights. A variety of cellared bottles will be exhumed at deep discounts � stock your friends up with some high-gravs perfect for cold winter nights or just swill on location. Bridgid's is also borrowing Tangier's famous Mystery Beer in a Bag game tonight � $3 nets you a surprise bottle wrapped wino-style.

Eyeball the rest of the schedule after the jump.

Dec 10th - Thursday - Collaboration Night Three special and rare collaborations will be tapped at 9 p.m. ... Stone/Brewdog Bashah Belgian Black Double IPA, Bells/DeProef Van Twee "wild belgian Ale," Sierra Nevada/Dogfish Head Life and Limb American Strong Ale.� Bottles from all of these breweries will also be available ... a truly special night.

Dec 11th - Friday Christmas Vertical Tasting - St. Bernardus Christmas 08 v 09 and Corsendonk Christmas 08 v 09 ... holiday spice and malt at its best.

Dec 12th - Saturday Big American Flavors Vertical tasting - Founders Backwoods Bastard 08 v 09 and Troegs Mad Elf 08 v 09 ... two of the most asked-about beers ... one night to taste two vintages.
