Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week 2015 - Events

Hey all. Sorry for lagging on getting these ones added here.

As you can see, there are a LOT of events going on; and a lot of good ones at that. I think it's definitely worth taking the time to read through them here or on the PCBW site. There seem to be a lot of interesting things going on.

Feel free to ask about anything as I have probably scanned over each event at least a few times by now. (Though I will be incommunicado for the most part through 4/12 as I will be out of town.)

Apologies in advance for any multiple postings. And again, please double-check time and details of any event you are interested in.
