here's one for 1/24 in West Chester: Mugs, Microbrews, & Music at ChesCo Historical Society http://www.cchs-pa.org/events.php
Victory beer, locally crafted ceramic mugs for sale, plus tuness from Hoots & Hellmouth and Missing Palmer West. $24
Thanks, looks like another good one. Plus, Hoots and Hellmouth will make for a great night.
The Belgium Comes to West Chester event is awesome! I've been to the last two...and they have both been great! Get there early and get a table...that's my advice...it gets packed!
