Philly Beer Week – It’s Essential | Ep. 275
Philly Beer Week… It’s Essential
Living in Atlanta I can tell you it’s not an easy task to host a great beer week, but Philly Beer Week has it down pretty good.
A lot of this is thanks to Philly Loves Beer and the efforts of Executive Director Christina Dowd. She works with local brewers and bars to promote beer across Philadelphia and much of her time is spent coordinating the events of Philly Beer Week. Dowd and Varga Bar owner Rich Colli joined us on the show to talk about what it takes to make a great beer week and share some of the fun things they’ve got planned for this year.
The theme this year is “It’s Essential” and after being locked up for over a year some good beers with good friends has got to be one of the most essential things going; food and shelter can step aside. Events will be a mix of in-person and virtual for 2021 so you can enjoy some of the festivities no matter where you are. Check out the calendar for a full list of what’s happening.
Cheers to you if you’re already in Philly, if not then maybe you’re ready for a beercation. Philly Beer Week 2021 is June 4th – 13th. (I’m no mathologist but that sounds like it’s more than a week.)
