Weekly Beer Calendar Update: January 21 - January 31

Let's close out January's weekly calendar of events here with the last 11 days of the month. As usual, plenty to do from the cities to the mountains. Soak it up!

While I don't envision any book events for at least the next month, I'll continue to stick a quick plug here pointing you to: a) my publisher; b) Amazon.com; c) BarnesAndNoble.com. As always, thank you for your continued support.

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.
