    Excellent! Will definitely stop by on Sunday! Guess it's too much to hope that Matt might still have lunch on tap by then, but no matter... I'm sure the line-up Sunday will be more than tolerable!

    As expected, the floodgates have opened and a ton of lists have come out since Memorial Day Weekend. Many unique/notable ones (well at least IMHO) including:

    - we've finally got a Half Acre list. They're doing a few spots so I'd guess some of these will be at those others as well. This one's for Perch Pub on 5/31 - http://beeradvocate.com/events/info/61955
    - that Founders list at World Cafe on 6/2 is a monster. That'll probably be their biggest one - http://beeradvocate.com/events/info/61792
    - the Standard Tap list for the Troegs/Devil's Backbone/Church Brew Works came out (just submitted to BA calendar). That list featuring a bunch from each brewery can be found here - https://www.facebook.com/StandardTap/events#!/events/371776072924591/
    - Just like Church Brew Works, we've got another event with some Pittsburgh stuff rarely seen around here. A Fat Heads and East End night at Hawthorne's - http://beeradvocate.com/events/info/61969
    - For a Firestone Walker event, pretty big list for their night at City Tap House (6/8) - the event is already listed on BA but the taplist hasn't been put on yet. That can be found here (scroll down near the bottom) - http://www.citytaphouse.com/events

    A whole bunch of smaller lists were put on the calendar as well and/or recently submitted (several from places like Bru, Industry, Pinocchio's, etc). There's more to look forward to as well (most of the Memphis/Local 44 lists including Russian River on 6/9, Capone's, Eulogy/Bierstube, Jose Pistola's, etc). Enjoy!

    I'm going to be in Philly this weekend for work and just realized that it's Beer Week. I already have a long list of beer spots to hit (much longer than my one free day will allow) and need to prioritize. Any thoughts on "must-visit" bars (like Monk's) and/or Beer Week events that actually feature local beer?

    What day are you free?

    Devil's Den on Friday looks great. Tired Hands anniversary party is on Sunday...

    Saturday and I could probably squeeze in some time late Sunday night

    I'm sure Monks, Jose Pistolas, Nodding Head and Good Dog will all have good stuff on Saturday. I'd check those out as they're all close to each other in center city. Sunday, the aforementioned event at Standard Tap with Troegs and Church Brew Works seems like a must attend event. Church Brew Works doesn't send stuff outside of Pittsburgh ever and they just did a collab beer with Troegs. You can try other "scratch" beers from Troegs too. Also, Tired Hands is going to be great ALL DAY on Sunday and they do growler fills so you can bring something home too.

    My girlfriend loves good beer but her only free night will be Friday, I want to take her to something awesome...

    Torn between Devil's Den / Barcade.

    Leaning toward Barcade because there's so many other things happening nearby...

    First of all, where are you staying in the city and will you have a car?

    Once those questions are answered you'll get a better gauge on where you'll want to go

    I'm staying in Rittenhouse Square but have no problem walking a couple of miles....I like exploring. I don't think I'm going to bother with renting a car.

    For a somewhat local showcase on Saturday the Varga Bar Block party is solid, nothing rare but solid stuff nonetheless - http://phillytapfinder.com/event/block-party/

    The Firkin Riot festival up at Johnny Brenda's is a stronger local showcase but you'll wanna take the subway for that. If you took the Market-Frankford Line aka the "El" (nearby stop to Rittenhouse square is at 15h and Market) and then got off at the Girard stop, it would put you one block away from JB's - http://beeradvocate.com/events/info/61767

    ---------------------

    On a side note, not a local showcase but I just submitted this to the calendar and was gonna mention it... for only having 8 taps, that Bella Vista list at Prohibition Taproom on Saturday for the Superhero/Supervillian Costume Party is TIGHT -

    AleSmith IPA
    Ballast Point Dorado DIPA
    Bullfrog Strange Orange
    Central Waters Peruvian Morning
    Cigar City Italian Plum Single
    Dark Horse Bourbon Barrel Plead the 5th
    Hill Farmstead Edward
    Williamsburg Alewerks Cafe Royale
