Sunday: Hawthornes beer brunch to wrap up Philly Beer Week(end)

Marie D told you about Philly Beer Scene's beer brunch recipe contest back in February — readers were encouraged to submit beer-infused breakfast/brunch recipes, the best of which would be cooked at an event at Hawthornes (11th and Fitzwater). Chris Fetfatzes checked in with Meal Ticket to share some details on the brunch, which is going down this Sunday, March 14.

Scheduled from 3 to 5 p.m. to accommodate what will surely be a wicked-ass hangover from Saturday's Philly Beer Week(end) festivities (Alexandra Harcharek has all your event picks here), the all-you-can-eat brunch is $20 for food — the menu includes wheat beer pancakes with "Beer-nanas Foster" sauce, beer and bacon mac and cheese, a Welsh rarebit with IPA-poached eggs, two-layer chocolate stout cake, another stout cake with peanut butter icing, and beer beignets (!).

To drink: Hawthornres will busy 13 different stouts they've been cellaring for the past few months specifically for this event. (They'll actually be pouring fresh pints for the brunch as opposed to just cracking bottles.)

Fetfatzes had room for about 12 more heads yesterday, and that number is surely dwindling, so get on it. UPDATE: Tix are now sold out! Sorry, kids.
