Hi guys! Just signed up for this forum. I just recently moved into Philadelphia from Stockholm,Sweden and will be staying until late December. I am looking for other BA in Philadelphia. I don't know anyone in the city so would like to share a couple of brews at a bar/home/brewery etc. I am also interested in doing some roadtrips to breweries (like DFH). Maybe join in on a bottleshare. Basically just meet some beery ppl and share some beer together! BM me! Cheers!
Welcome to Philly! A good way to meet other BA's is to check out the various events on the BeerFly calendar. Many of the Pennsylvania events are either in Philadelphia or near it - http://beeradvocate.com/events/calendar (don't forget to set the state filter to Pennsylvania). Also, be on the lookout for the next bottleshare event coming up from the PhillyBeerScene/PhillyTapFinder crew. This was the last one (it was sold out) and they mentioned that they were looking to do one every few months or so, which would mean the next one is likely this fall - http://beeradvocate.com/events/info/55460 Some pics from it - http://phillytapfinder.tumblr.com/post/27417142173/a-drunken-success-1st-phillytapfinder-philly-beer Lastly, not beer related, but if you're looking for Swedish culture and/or other Swedes, you'll probably want to check out the American Swedish Historical Museum in South Philadelphia - http://www.americanswedish.org/welcome.htm
Welcome to Philly! You shouldn't have much trouble finding beercentric people around here. I'll BM you if there are any big events that come up that I can make it to. Cheers!
i'm apparently a good tour guide. or so i've been told. but yeah, most stuff that i would post about will probably get covered by someone else by the time i hit 'post reply'
Hey, David. Welcome to Philly. We (PhillyTapFinder and Philly Beer Scene) will definitely be hosting another bottle share within the next couple of months. I'll make sure that you know about it.
Thank you for all the answers! Had a visit to Monks and noticed a quite nice list of sours (and other bottles). If anyone wanna share some bottles sometime BM me! =)
Oh, forgot to mention that I am a homebrewer aswell and would love to join in on brewsessions aswell =). (Sry, for double post...)
