Did you miss me? Somehow I took October off — completed unplanned and rather accidental — and didn't publish a monthly calendar. Thanks to those of you that noticed and expressed concern. I must've been still hungover from celebrating the ten years of The Brew Lounge.
But, the events actually did carry on nonetheless. And now I'm back with a November docket that should keep you busy for a while. Noteworthy on the local Philly scene is the preparation for the 2016 Philly Beer Week collaboration beer brewing trip to Europe. Check out the details at PhillyBeerWeek.org for all the details and entry form to win. What do they say "you can't win if you don't play" or "someone's got to win"? Last year, that someone was me, so I can vouch for both those marketing slogans!
Sales of my new book Beer Lover's Mid-Atlantic continue to hum along quite nicely. I've been on the road recently in Baltimore showing and selling the book. It's now that perfect gift-giving time of year, so don't forget your beer reading needs on the gift lists! Watch for me to pop up at Heavy Seas in Baltimore in December where they'll have custom-brewed beer per my specs pouring during my book signing event.
For now, head on over to the publisher's website where you can find a series of links to online sites, such as Amazon, where you can find the book for sale. Brick-and-mortar stores, too, are carrying the book so look for it at your local Barnes & Noble, for example.
As always, if I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, let me know.

Weekly Beer Calendar Update: September 24 - September 30
In the midst of Oktoberfest and brewers heading off to Denver for GABF, there are plenty of events to go around here at the beginning of the autumn season. Best wishes (and party on) to all breweries looking to bring home some heavy medals from Denver.
Also, please keep my book events in mind where I'm talking beer, selling/signing books, and in some cases tasting beer with anyone who shows up. The events thus far have been successful and I'm looking forward to keeping it going. Baltimore Beer Week is fast approaching (10/9-10/18) and I'll be there for at least a handful of events. Really looking forward to participating in their long-robust beer scene.
Here's a link to the full list of future and past events where you can catch me selling Beer Lover's Mid-Atlantic.
As you review beer events, don't forget PhillyTapFinder.com. As always, they host an impressive listing of beer event draft lists to help better inform your beer event planning.

Also, please keep my book events in mind where I'm talking beer, selling/signing books, and in some cases tasting beer with anyone who shows up. The events thus far have been successful and I'm looking forward to keeping it going. This coming Saturday will find me at The Beer Yard in Wayne, Pa. with a table full of books along side of some great beers from Tröegs and foods on the grill all in their annual effort to raise money for the Delaware County SPCA.
Here's a link to the full list of future and past events where you can catch me selling Beer Lover's Mid-Atlantic.
As you review beer events, don't forget PhillyTapFinder.com. As always, they host an impressive listing of beer event draft lists to help better inform your beer event planning.

Weekly Beer Calendar Update: August 6 - August 12
A full calendar follows below with at least one beer-y thing to do each of the next seven days. And nicely spread across the region to boot. No excuses; get out there and drink it up!
Also, please keep my book events in mind where I'm talking beer, selling/signing books, and in some cases tasting beer with anyone who shows up. The events thus far have been successful and I'm looking forward to keeping it going. 4 days of Pittsburgh-region events are coming up in a couple of weeks for any of you out that way.
Here's a link to the full list of future and past events where you can catch me selling Beer Lover's Mid-Atlantic.
As you review beer events, don't forget PhillyTapFinder.com. As always, they host an impressive listing of beer event draft lists to help better inform your beer event planning.
