Weekly Beer Calendar Update: March 10 - March 16

Ditch the Erin Expresses this weekend and check out the exhaustive set of more than forty beer events occurring all around the Philly region this weekend and the rest of the next seven days.

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, I thank you for your continued support.

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