philly beer week is back
definitely going to some of these events
it’s march 6 to the 15. two weekends. and here is the link. there are many, many beer specials and there are different events each day, like $25 all you can eat and drink at devil’s alley or no repeat beer at memphis tap room (when one keg kicks, they open something new), or a “cooking with beer” event at triumph! let’s pick a few and go.

I haven’t been below the Mason-Dixon Line in quite a while. This just might be the reason I finally do!
I’m down!

nick step is coming, too! talk to him we’ll do the damn thing.
I’m looking forward to stumbling back to my apartment from the Taproom at least a few times during No Repeat Beer Week.
Did anyone else participate in Mystery Beer Weekend when that was going on?
I look forward to smacking Sammy in the face again, like I did during my last beer festival.
I wanna see some menus. As an aspiring beer snob, I need to know that a trip of that magnitude will be worth my while.
Note: I went to Belgium to drink beer. I’m in.
Apparently Philaldephia is a bit of a Belgian beer Mecca.

they are all on that link.
Chris Bauweraerts – Brasserie d’Achouffe
That’s almost enough to sell me right there. If you have never indulged in any of the Achouffe line, I highly recommend it.
Also, I’ve recently become a fan of Sly Fox out of Royersford, PA, especially the Ichor Quad. Have any of you ever tried it, or any of their other stuff?
yeah sly fox is pretty popular in philly. whenever we go to standard tap, sly fox is on the menu.

We can carpool!
I just bought tickets for the Philly Craft Beer Festival night session on March 7 (http://www.phillycraftbeerfest.com). Anybody else going?
This is going to be my first time but it sounds like a lot of fun. You get a 6 oz souvenir glass and plenty of breweries from around the country are going to be here. I’m pretty excited.
A complete brewery/programming list is on the site also.
Get tickets fast though. The afternoon session is already sold out.

This is what I would be most interested in going to, but if it’s anything like the NY Craft Beer Festival then I’m not sure I’m interested. The NYC one was like a giant frat party, except instead of dudes pouring Miller Light on each other they were using great beer that they didn’t deserve to be drinking in the first place. It would have been one of the most awful experiences of my life if I wasn’t with a girl and/or wasn’t very drunk by the end of it.
Is the Philly one a little less intense?
let me know when any of you dorks are in town. i can hop the train at any time and get plastered.

I’ve heard from friends that the afternoon session is a little more frat boy-ish, while the night session is a bit older/more sophisticated.
I have tickets for the night session, so we’ll see what happens…
so, my friend nick step is coming down tomorrow and spending the weekend and we’re going to philly for beer week festivities on saturday. we do not have craft fest tix but are pretty much down for anything else.
anyone doing anything besides the craft beer festival?
maybe they’ll answer you, luke. you know, since they actually LIKE you.
I will not be home for any of this :(

nah, nobody will answer. it doesn’t matter. i was really only talking to maybe 3 people.
John said:I will not be home for any of this :(
wtf where are YOU going?
Up to visit V family, of which whom I’m only slightly less likely to get drunk and fight.
I missed this threead until now, but I’ll be down tomorrow.
And I will one up Jay and add that I’ve been to Germany to drink beer. Twice.
Seton Hall this weekend.

i drank beer in some of the nicest and shittiest pubs in England everyday for about a year and a half. usually against my better judgement.
kev’s even worse off in that respect.
however i’ll be working for most of Beer Week. maybe we’ll go down tomorrow and play.

I went to Germany too, same trip though. Dusseldorf was sweet, but it’s not the same as Oktoberfest I’m sure. I’m looking to go to Munich this year though. You in?
Note: I am in Weehawken, not Philly. I am a flake that makes empty promises.
I believe admitting that you’re a flake makes it a little better.
I’m totally in, that is if you feel like sleeping in a tent, I think hotel reservations run out a year in advance.

i didn’t plan on going to this, and honestly i have little desire. but someone just gave me a free ticket so it looks like i’m going
also, philly started this. so i’d imagine it will be worse that the new york experience you mentioned. or maybe that means it will be better. i doubt it.
