Weekly Beer Calendar Update: December 10 - December 16

The drum beats you hear are coming from the beer events calendar marching on through Hanukkah and toward Christmas. Or they're coming from The Little Drummer Boy. Either way, plenty to do, see, and taste out there in the great wide beer world.

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. This coming weekend in West Chester, Pa. and Baltimore, Md. They'll be serving a firkin of my custom-made Peg Leg Imperial Stout! Stop by for a taste and, of course, my book.

Here's a link to the full list of future and past events where you can catch me selling Beer Lover's Mid-Atlantic. Plenty of opportunities to find me in PA, NJ, DE, and MD before Christmas.

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.
