Weekly Beer Event Calendar Update: Philadelphia & beyond: April 5 - April 11

And we're off and running with the first weekly calendar of April. Spring has finally sprung and plenty of beer has been sprung from their cages at the brewery. Here they are; have at it!

Oh and by the way, I count myself amongst those excited to see Kevin and Melissa Walter very close to opening their new Love City Brewing Company in the city's Callowhill neighborhood. Next Wednesday, they'll be pouring a handful of their beers at Strangelove's in Center City. Read on for more...
