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

Tonight, West Philly is beer geek Valhalla: Bell's and Lost Abbey throw down

POSTED: Monday, June 7, 2010, 6:44 PM

Filed Under: Booze | Philly Beer Week 2010

Two over-the-top brewery events are going down in West Philly tonight as part of Philly Beer Week.

At Local 44 (4333 Spruce St.), owner Brendan Hartranft and Co. are tapping 19 different Lost Abbey beers from SoCal's Port Brewing. These Belgian-style brews have quite the cult following, and it's rare even to catch the stuff on tap, let alone this many in one place at one time. Hartranft tells Meal Ticket they'll be pouring stuff like the oak-aged, 12.5 percent ABV strong ale Angel's Share, as well as the 2010 Older Viscosity, a barrel-aged version of their Old Viscosity American dark strong ale. Everything should be up and running by 5:30 this evening, and many of the beers will be "priced to move," says Hartranft.

At City Tap House (The Radian, 3925 Walnut St.), beer baron Andy Farrell is going for a record of sorts by tapping 31 — thirty-one! — beers from Kalamazoo, Michigan's Bell's at one time. "They went into the dungeon of Bell's brewpub and pulled out some really fun stuff for us," says Farrell, who admits that even he has not heard of many of the beers that'll be on offer. Much of this rare stuff was brewed for special one-off events and stashed just in case — and tonight "is that just in case," he says. Everything should be tapped by 7 p.m. Full draft lineup, with descriptions and prices and ABVs and all, after the jump. 1. Porter: A 2008 World Beer Cup Gold Medal winner, this beer inspired the term âChoco-Roastyliciousâ in our brewery taste panel with its generous mix of chocolate malt and roast barley. 5.6% abv/10oz $4-16oz $5 2. Two Hearted Ale: One of the archetypes for the American India Pale Ale. Two Hearted uses 100% Centennial hops from kettle to dry hop to obtain its signature grapefruit and pine resin aromas. The hop intensity is balanced by a strong malt backbone creating a highly drinkable IPA. 7.0% abv/10oz $4-16oz $6 3. Third Coast Old Ale: Another cellerable offering from Bell's, this American barleywine has notes of dried fruit and caramel embedded a rich malt background that will grow more complex over time. 10.2% abv/10oz $6 4. Kalamazoo Stout: A rich, full bodied stout, the emphasis is on the roasted malt character that is balanced by straightforward hop bitterness, with subtle hints of brewer's licorice. 6.0% abv /10oz $4-16oz $5 5. Oberon: A wheat ale fermented with Bell's signature house ale yeast. Mixes a spicy hop character with mildly fruity aromas. The addition of wheat malt lends a smooth mouthfeel, making it a classic summer beer. 5.8% abv/10oz $4-16oz $6 6. Special Double Cream Stout: Brewed with 100 percent specialty malts, this stout has an incredibly smooth texture and malt flavor with an espresso-like depth of aroma. 6.1% abv/10oz $4-16oz $6 7. Oarsman: Bell's take on a sour mash beer. Oarsman uses a traditional German technique to introduce a refreshing tartness to a low alcohol, sessionable ale. 4.0% abv/10oz $4-16oz $6 8. Expedition Stout: One of two beers Bell's brews specifically with vintage aging in mind. Incredibly dark and thick, with an immensely complex flavor profile that will continue to mature and develop over the years.10.5% abv/10oz $6 9. Lager: One of the only beers that Bell's filters, this Czech-style lager showcases the balancing of malt and hops in the brewhouse. Moderate body and clean bitterness are the hallmarks of this beer. 5.0% abv/10oz $4-16oz $6 10. Consecrator Doppelbock: German malts lend rich toasted notes to this traditional bock beer. 8.0% abv/10oz $6 11. Wheat Love: A wheat wine style beer fermented with Belgian yeast. 8.2% abv/10oz $6 12. Wheat 2: Bell's Wheat Two Ale combines two distinct types of wheat malts and ferments the result with two distinct yeasts, blending the signature notes of Bell's house ale yeast with the spicy aromas of a Belgian wit yeast. Originally the opening act in an experimental series of wheat beers, Wheat Two has been resurrected in a nod towards our history of brewing innovation. 5.8% abv/10oz $4-16oz $6 13. Cherry Stout: smooth, malty dark chocolate flavors with the tartness of 100% Montmorency cherries grown in Michigan's Traverse City region. 7.0% abv/10oz $5-16oz $7 14. Wedding Ale: Honey-wheat ale brewed with the Bell's house ale yeast, this beer offers malty sweetness & mildly spicy hop notes. 7.7% abv/10oz $5 15. Black Note: A roughly 50/50 blend of Expo and DCS aged in freshly used bourbon barrels for anywhere from 6-18 months. This beer defies description. 11.0% abv/10oz $7 16. Harry Magill's Spiced Stout: This is one of the oldest specialty stout recipes and certainly one of the wildest. Spices from around the world are the focus of this stout. 7.5% abv /10 oz $5 17. Quinannan Falls (Q-Falls): Dry hopped with blend of American hop varietals, Quinannan Falls Special Lager Beer uses its sharp pine aroma & 6.5% abv to evoke thoughts of a crisp autumn in the north woods. 6.5% abv/10oz $5-16oz $7 18. Deb's Red Ale: Named after Eugene V. Debs, this dry hopped red ale has a pleasant hop aroma and a dry malt finish, with a hint of caramel. 5.6% abv/10oz $5=16oz $7 19. The Oracle: Bell's Brewery's take on the West Coast-style Double India Pale Ale, The Oracle leads with intense dry-hop aromas and follows with an aggressive bitterness. 10.4% abv/10oz $6 20. Sparkling Ale: Blends the rich fruit notes of two Belgian Abbey-style yeasts with citrusy hops from the Pacific Northwest to create an American interpretation of the classic Trippel style. 9.0% abv/ 10oz $5 21. Batch 9000: Batch 9000 Ale celebrates another milestone in Bell's history, offering a wealth of flavor in a full-bodied dark ale. 12.5% abv/10oz $6 22. Kal Haven Ale: Brewed with malted rye and fermented with a mixture of Bell's house ale yeast and Brettanomyces yeast, Kal-Haven Ale possesses rich, earthy character balanced against pungent hops from the Pacific Northwest. 7.0% abv/10oz $5 23. Le Pianiste: Le Pianiste starts as a malt forward beer, combining biscuity, breadcrust notes with a light caramel flavor. Noticeably dry, the finish is crisp with a lively, refreshing acidity. 5.8% abv/10oz $5 24. Le Contrabassiste: Le Contrebassiste, part of our Biere de Garde series, offering a smokey blend of coffee, caramel & chocolate flavors. 7.0% abv/10oz $5 25. La Batteur: Blonde biere de garde, crisp & dry with light refreshing acidity. 5.8% abv/10oz $5 26. Smoked Vienna: Smoked malts make up the backbone of this lager style beer. 5.9% abv/10oz $5 27. Golden Funk: Brewed with wheat, peppercorns, cardamom, and galangal, Golden Funk Ale is then fermented with a mixture of wild yeasts to produce a thoroughly experimental golden ale. 6.2% abv/10oz $5 28. Batch 6000: A dry hopped barley wine brewed in 2003. 10.5% abv/10oz $6 29. Raspberry Ale: Tart flavors from locally grown raspberries make this beer a beer garden favorite. 5.0% abv/10oz $5-16oz $7 30. Bourbon Barrel Aged Hell Hath No Fury: Months of aging in first-use bourbon barrels adds a new level of depth to the already complex Hell Hath No Furyâ¦ Ale. Heady with vanilla & coconut flavors from the barrel, this unique hybrid of Belgian yeasts and roasted malts warms the senses. 10.5% abv/10oz $6 31. Pale Ale: Herbal hop notes with a solid malt base to create a well-balanced pale ale with a refreshing bitterness. 5.2% abv/10oz $5-16oz $7

Are you already drunk as eff on Philly Beer Week information? Here's some more! We'll try to keep it as straightforward as possible. Mainly this is just an excuse to use our sweet proprietary PBW logo at right. Bottoms up, kids! Friday, June 4 Opening Tap is tonight at 7:30, at the Independence Visitors Center (Sixth and Market). This is the photo-op-crazy event where Nutter rocks the big Hammer of Glory, etc. The Chemical Heritage Foundation (315 Chestnut St.) is hosting an educational beer tasting/talk from 5 to 8 p.m. It'll feature CHF scholar John Ceccatti and brewers from Dock Street talking up "the history of hops and the pedagogy of porters." Victory brewmaster Bill Covaleski will serve the first pints of his brand-new Summer Love Ale (we told you about it in Small Bites) during tonight's happy hour at Johnny Brenda's (1201 N. Frankford Ave.). Resurrection Ale House (2425 Grays Ferry Ave.) is pouring beers from SoCal's Green Flash all night. Get their IPA. MidAtlantic (3711 Market St.) is doing $3 drafts and happy-hour snacks at the bar on out on their sweet patio. Saturday, June 5 The Continental (138 Market St.) is hosting a Yards Beer Brunch, featuring the brewery's Tom Kehoe, from noon to 2 p.m. From 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., hit up 10th Street between Locust and Spruce for a Varga Bar block party that'll feature hot dog/wing eating contests, music, and chef Evan Turney grilling up kobe beef burgers and dogs. Our pick for best-named event of the weekend: Yuengtoberfest at O'Neal's (611 S. Third St.). All Yuengling drafts are $3.50, and we're told both Jennifer Yuengling and Lord Chesterfield in the damn flesh will be there from 1 to 4 p.m. Prizes and giveaways too. Saturday also marks the official debut of Flying Fish's brand-new Exit 6, which we wrote about on Tuesday. They'll start pouring the rye ale at 3 pm. at Nodding Head (1516 Sansom, second floor). Sunday, June 6 UPDATE [05jun10]: Doug Hager of Brauhaus Schmitz tells Meal Ticket that Saturday's Bierfest at the German Society of Philadelphia (611 Spring Garden St.) was such a success that they're doing it again on Sunday. It'll run at the GSoP from 2 to 6 p.m.; beer tickets, which include a sandwich (they're roasting a whole pig), will be $3, $2 less than Saturday's tix. Beer lineup here. Smoke 'Em If yous Got' Em at Yards Brewing (901 N. Delaware Ave.) — this annual event features hellacious amounts of smoked beer (look at this lineup) and tons of barbecue. (We'll be sitting in as one of the judges for the amateur barbecue cook-off.) Head to Hawthornes (738 S. 11th St.) at 3 p.m. for a meet-the-brewer with Florida's Cigar City. They'll be pouring stuff from their Humidor Series, a limited-quantity lineup of cedar-aged brews. Meet Jean Van Roy of Cantillon at Tria Rittenhouse (123 S. 18th St.) from 5 to 6 p.m. Check out our April '09 Q&A with the dude to help you develop some sweet questions.

Philly Beer Week is such an omnipresence that even the BYOs are getting in on it. At Kanella (1001 Spruce St.), chef Konstantinos Pitsillides is cooking a "head to toe" dinner, paired with international beers provided by The Foodery, on Monday, June 7. Pitsillides, who's passionate about honoring the whole animal, will cook cuts like lamb's tongue, duck liver and rabbit saddle; for dessert he's doing a milk custard using mastic, the uncommon ingredient Trey Popp told you about recently in our food section. The six-course, seven-beer dinner, which'll start at 6 p.m., costs $85; tickets are available at both Foodery locations (837 N. Second St. and 324 S. 10th St.) as well as at the restaurant.

Flying Fish's popular Exit Series is expanding with a nod to the Dutch Walloons (known today as the Belgians), aka the first Europeans to settle in the Burlington County area. Exit 6 Wallonian rye Belgian-style ale starts with pale malt and locally grown rye, which is fermented with Belgian yeast. Three kinds of hops are worked into the brew (Japanese Sorachi Ace, English East Kent Goldings and Slovenian Styrian Goldings) to bring lemon and spice notes to the bright-hued pour. Get some of the first sips during the Exit 6 launch at Nodding Head Brewery (1516 Sansom St.) on June 5 at 3 p.m. Ric Hoffman of Stewart's Brewing Co. in Delaware, Casey Hughes of Flying Fish and Gordon Grubb of Nodding Head (the brew's collaborative creators) will be around for the tapping. No ticket purchase is necessary — it's gonna be pay as you go.

Frequent Constant City Paper haunt The Khyber (56 S.

CP editor in chief Brian Howard recently got four former Khyber barkeeps to drop by their old pint-pulling haunt for a state-of-Philly-beer pow-wow with current Khyber daytime captain Jeremy Thomson (center).
