Weekly Beer Calendar Update: January 17 - January 23

This may be a bit out of our region, but just a quick heads-up for San Francisco Beer Week (my second favorite, of course) coming up in February. Working on my own arrangements to hopefully be there for a portion of it. If you're traveling in northern California between Feb. 8 - Feb. 17, you'll want to take my word for it that hitting up a few events during SFBW would quite the wise thing to do.

Back here around Philly, the party bus rolls on. Here comes the next seven days.

Check out the entire January 2013 calendar over here. If I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, don't hesitate to let me know.

First up once again are the continually more popular events with live tap lists that I'll draw your attention to over at tap lists posted at PhillyTapFinder.com.

As I've asked, show the Philly love and go check out the events on PhillyTapFinder, then go check out the beer in person. Tell 'em PTF and TBL sent you.
