Weekly Beer Calendar Update: August 20 - August 26

Trust you're staying cool and hydrated here in the dog days of summer. As you're thinking end of summer vacations and back to school, know that your beer events calendar is still chock full for you with plenty of pleasant distraction available.

Also, please keep my book events in mind where I'm talking beer, selling/signing books, and in some cases tasting beer with anyone who shows up. The events thus far have been successful and I'm looking forward to keeping it going. This afternoon, I kick off four days in and around Pittsburgh with plenty of books available to go with all your beers. Hope to see some of you along the way in the next few days.

Here's a link to the full list of future and past events where you can catch me selling Beer Lover's Mid-Atlantic.

As you review beer events, don't forget PhillyTapFinder.com. As always, they host an impressive listing of beer event draft lists to help better inform your beer event planning.
