Beer Event Calendar: Philadelphia & beyond: What To Do in January 2018

New Year. More Beer. Happy, happy. Don't let this shorter-than-usual monthly list throw you off. The first posting of the January calendar each year looks like this. I'll keep up with it in the coming weeks as brewers and bar owners shake off their 2017 dust and hangover and get more events together for you. Hang tight, grab a beer, and until then check some of these out.

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