Beer week cometh.....

Despite my staggering inability these days to consume more than a few beers without feeling horrible, and with the editor-in-chief’s two-year beer hiatus, I am still excited about Beer Week. If nothing else, it is another excuse to get together with friends and catch-up. This year, it runs from March 6-15. I will highlight a few events, focused on Rogue, makers of the tastiest beers in the world. For the full list go to http://www.phillybeerweek.org/:
