The Path To Philly Beer Week 2008: Joe Sixpack



Am I really doing this? Am I really taking up a space in my little feature called The Path To Philly Beer Week 2008 (spotlighting area breweries and brewpubs) for a beer writer? Well, when the class of beer writers in the Philly area is so rich and one of the leading spots is taken by a man named Don Russell, who will be at no less than an event a day during PBW 2008, then I think I must do so.

Instead of following the format that I applied to the brewery and brewpub writeups, just head on over to Mark Lisheron's article to get a fun look at what it takes to be the one and only Joe Sixpack in Philadelphia.

And, culling through the PBW calendar that he maintains over at the official site and some email notes from him, here's where I can surmise he'll be found during PBW 2008.
