This week's Food and Restaurant sections are dedicated to all things Philly Beer Week 2009.

- Felicia D. runs down her picks for the best events of PBW09. Among the highlights: Yards Brewing founder Tom Kehoe and Kite & Key owner Jim Kirk's March 14 sumo wrestling match. At stake: Kirk's Eagles-themed luchador mask.

- Nick Norlen, who writes CP's Running Numbers column, had never tried beer until recently. He documents his first foray into the world of hops in "The 25-Year-Old Teetotaler."

- Sure , all the city's most prominent drinkeries are going to be slammed for the next 10 days. But what about the places with kick-ass draft lists that you don't hear about as often? Brian Howard runs down Philly's Top 5 Underappreciated Beer Bars.

- Fork, Le Bec-Fin, The Four Seasons � more and more of the city's high-end restaurants are getting their craft beer games right. Tim Hyland tracks the trend � move over, wine.

- In Small Bites, we've got quick hits on Troegs Nugget Nectar, barnivore.com, Ferran Adria's Inedit beer and an ambitious Citywide Special-related move uncovered by staff writer Isaiah Thompson.

- Nikki Volpicelli shares even more Beer Week picks in her What's Cooking column.

- Believe it or not, we actually had some room for non-beer-related coverage this week! Check out Feeding Frenzy, where I'm sharing info on Williams Caf�, the return of West Philly's Gold Standard, lunch at Bistrot La Minette and tomorrow's Beer and Cheese Smackdown at The Sidecar.
