Weekly Beer Event Calendar Update: December 22 - December 31

How is December and the holiday season treating you thus far? Wearing you down? Here are just a few excuses that you can tap into for some R&R. Squirrel! Beer! Beer! Squirrel!

And it's that special gift-giving time of year again, so I'm inclined to remind you again of my book, Beer Lover's Mid-Atlantic. To buy, send a note to me for personal signing and delivery, ping Amazon.com, or drop by your local bookstore such as Barnes & Noble.

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.
