Weekly Beer Calendar Update: November 19 - November 25

Here we go again. As you prepare to be thankful for everything else in your life next Thursday, take some time to thank those that work tirelessly to bring you great beer. These couple dozen events in the next seven days are a great start.

Also, please keep my book events in mind where I'm talking beer, selling/signing books, and in some cases tasting beer with anyone who shows up. The events thus far have been successful and I'm looking forward to keeping it going. Here's a link to the full list of future and past events where you can catch me selling Beer Lover's Mid-Atlantic.

As you review beer events, don't forget PhillyTapFinder.com. As always, they host an impressive listing of beer event draft lists to help better inform your beer event planning.
