The February calendar of beer events keeps humming along with another cool couple dozen ways to enjoy beer in the next week to keep you warm as spring looms just around the corner. Plus, Lehigh Valley Beer Week promises plenty of ways each day to celebrate great beers and bars from Allentown to Easton and Bethlehem to Emmaus and everywhere in between.
While I don't envision any book events for at least the next month, I'll continue to stick a quick plug here pointing you to: a) my publisher; b) Amazon.com; c) BarnesAndNoble.com. As always, I thank you for your continued support.
As you review beer events, don't forget PhillyTapFinder.com. They host an impressive listing of beer event draft lists to help better inform your beer event planning.
