Weekly Beer Calendar Update: April 28 - April 30

Just a few things (!) on the calendar here around Philly as we close out the month of April with these last three days of events. After Saturday, all eyes, ears, and beers will turn to the nearly 15,000 industry professionals that will descend upon the city for the annual Craft Brewers Conference. I'll need to get a list of open-to-the-public events to share with you. Should be quite a scene.

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.
