Beer Calendar: What To Do in September 2011

Hurricane season can threaten, but the Philly beer events calendar is stronger. September is the month of the Great American Beer Festival, but it's obvious from this calendar that not everyone will be in Denver. Get out and enjoy.

If I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, let me know.
