Beer Calendar: What To Do in October 2014

These first days of October, don't be surprised if you can't track down your favorite local brewery's owner, rep, or brewer. Chances are they're looking to get their Rocky Mountain high on with some award-winning beers at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival. But, as you'll see below, many have stayed home to keep the home parties burning with great beer as they do year-round.

Be sure to keep up-to-date with what's on tap at PhillyTapFinder.com.

Finally, as always, if I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, let me know.
