June 2009 begins the one-year countdown to Philly Beer Week 2010. If you haven't heard, the month of March is a thing of the past for PBW...at least in 2010. June 2010 is now on the calendar. How do we kickoff this countdown? Well, the list of events below for the upcoming month is indicative of the sorts of things that you can find during PBW2010, but that we also do year-round around these here parts.
