The only way May looks gentle is by looking at the last couple days of it and then comparing the 29 previous days to the debauchery that ensues beginning May 30 with the next annual installment of Philly Beer Week. Leading up to those last two days of the month (the first two of PBW '14), it's just another month, chock full of beer events of every stripe.
As for PBW '14, for the sake of brevity and my sanity, no individual Philly Beer Week events are being listed. Rather, just head on over to PhillyBeerWeek.org. Until then, rest up. On second thought, don't. You must be strong and ready to take on Philly Beer Week.
As always, if I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, let me know.
