Devil's Backbone: Crafted in the Mountains of Virginia, Now On Tap in Maryland.
Devil's Backbone: Crafted in the Mountains of Virginia, Now On Tap in Maryland.
Spring has sprung, the grass has ris, and there's no wondering where our beer events is.
American Craft Beer Week continues through May 19 at bars and breweries across the country, complete with a nationwide toast on May 16. ( craftbeer.com/news-and-events/american-craft-beer-week )
At the tail end of May is the over-the-top, nearly indescribable celebration of beer during ten days of Philly Beer Week. Instead of listing individual events out across these already crowded pages, we'll simply direct you to their website for the many hundreds of events already scheduled. ( phillybeerweek.org )
Last, but certainly not least, we'd like to point you just a bit farther south from the Mid-Atlantic borders to Asheville where Pints for Prostates will be putting on a "Rare and Wild Beer Tasting" during Asheville Beer Week to support and spread its important message. ( allaboutbeer.com/AAB2 )
Cheers,
Bryan
