Hey I am moving to Philly (Media) from Michigan in a couple weeks and was looking for a tasting group to hopefully meet some people and taste some beers. I am also open to any beer/food scene tips for the area. Cheers, Scott
Stone Soup is a good start - http://beeradvocate.com/events/info/58145 This is the thread for it - http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/shhh-its-a-secret-a-stone-soup-secret.47803/
Also, you're in good hands in Media as you've got both a strong bar/bottle shop in Pinocchio's - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/20292 and a solid brewpub in Iron Hill Media - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/957 In addition, since you're in the western Philly burbs, you're gonna hear about these 4 places a lot around here - TJ's - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/13899 Capone's - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/11177 Teresa's Next Door - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/16185 Tired Hands (Brewery & Cafe) - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/28383 Enjoy!
You will meet plenty of people and taste great beers just by hanging out at Pinocchio's beer garden in Media John
