This is it, drunks. Sip smart and kick the shit out of all the non-local kegs this weekend so there's room for all our favorite Philly breweries come Monday. Friday, June 11 There's still a bit of time left to meet Rob Tod of Allagash at Tria's WashWest location (12th and Spruce). His Victor and Victoria beers, both brewed with grapes, are on tap. We'll be at the Founders beer dinner at South Philly Tap Room (15th and Mifflin) in a few minutes. Say hi if you see us! More Founders action tonight — they'll have around 10 of the Michigan brewery's high-grav potions on tap at Kraftwork Girard and Montgomery) till everything kicks. Saturday, June 12 From 5 to 7 today, it's your last chance to get your hands on the brewery-inspired happy-hour menu at Southwark. Details here. Meet and greet with the elusive, Salinger-esque Phin DeMink of Southern Tier at Varga Bar (10th and Spruce) from 8 p.m. to midnight. 12 Percent Belgian beer dinner at Hawthornes (11th and Fitzwater) tonight. Five courses, five ultra-rare imports, $65. More details here. Michael Jackson's Tutored Tastings, a PBW anchor event, is happening in three sessions today at the brand-new HeadHouse (122 Lombard St.). Sunday, June 13 The three-course, $35 beer-paired menu at Bridget Foy's (Second and South) ends today. Check out match-ups like butterscotch krimpet tiramisu (made with Dock Street's Sexual Chocolate) paired with a Yards George Washington Tavern Porter. Speaking of Dock Street — they're hosting a big-ass music festival to close out Beer Week. It starts at 2 p.m.; there are five bands slated to perform, and they'll be grilling and pouring rare beers, like the tweaked-out Pimp My Rye and a brandy barrel-aged Bubbly Wit. Ruthless dark beer specialists Duck Rabbit will toast to the conclusion of PBW at Devil's Den (11th and Ellsworth) from 6 to 9 p.m. Out at Nectar in Berwyn (1091 Lancaster Ave.), Feury brothers Patrick and Terence will celebrate the release of Fists of Feury, a specialty brew they created with Victory. 5 to 8 p.m. The following bars are hosting "dear God help us get rid of all this extra beer" events: Rembrandt's, Sidecar, London Grill, Kite and Key, Eulogy, City Tap House, Bridgid's, Druid's Keep, Doc Watson's, Good Dog, Lucky 7 Tavern and probably every other bar in town. DO YOUR PART.

On Sunday for our Clean the Lines Day, we're going to be donating a portion of the profits from beers sold to the Sabina Rose O'Donnell Fund- to help out our friends at PYT. 

We're also kicking off on growlers.  

And we'll be tapping some of the final kegs of Deschutes in PA
