Weekly Beer Calendar Update: August 27-September 2

The summer is coming to a close? Really? While this hasn't seemed like a "normal" summer here in the Philadelphia region, this is a weekly calendar that also doesn't feel "normal." Just a few events to share with you, albeit some very good looking ones. Dark Horse, yet another solid brewery hailing from Michigan, has landed and will make its mark felt quickly. That, and a handful of other goodies, should keep you interested well into the Labor Day holiday weekend. Check out the entire August 2009 calendar over here.
