And so it begins. Another year. Funny thing, from a beer events calendar perspective, it's gonna look pretty similar to last year, I'll bet. In and around Philly, a lot of great things happening at breweries and bars. So buckle up and let's go. Here's a look at the next 7 days.
If you think the calendar looks light by Philly standards, relax. I think everyone's still coming down off a crazy year-end and NYE blowout. There's plenty more good stuff to come in January.
Check out the entire January 2012 calendar over here.
If I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, let me know.
