If you see a lot of homebrew-looking guys (mostly guys) wandering around Philly this week, it's the National Homebrewers Conference that has dropped off reportedly over 3,000 of them. Some events here in the last days of the month are geared towards them and others are just the standard fare. Drink up; it's hot out there!
