Weekly Beer Calendar Update: September 1 - September 7

September will close out with Great American Beer Festival in Denver. But until then, the Philadelphia region will make sure that all have the opportunity to have some fun while enjoying the best that the region has to offer.

Check out the dizzying array of beer activities throughout the next week. Dinners, free tastings, charities, fun 'n' games, the list goes on...
