In the September issue of Philly Beer Scene, I look into the history of Wallonia’s oldest brewery, Brasserie Dubuisson.

In the August 21 issue of Ticket to Entertainment, I talk about the increase of craft beer production and beer tourism.

And last week I had the chance to try some new special Prism Brewing Company beers at Elmwood Park Zoo – read about it on Philly Beer Scene Online Exclusives.

It’s been a busy summer filled with some fantastic beers, but hold on – it’s almost Oktoberfest and Pumpkin beer time!

Celebrating National Beer Day!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Once again it’s time to celebrate National Beer Day – April 7, 1933 – the day it became legal to sell beer after 13 years of Prohibition.  While many U.S. breweries and their recipes were lost forever due to Prohibition, Pennsylvania breweries are standing strong today.  Check out my article in Ticket Entertainment on the Brewers of Pennsylvania “Meeting of the Malts IV” where the  success of Pennsylvania brewing was celebrated last week! 

So tonight take a moment to raise a pint of local craft brew and thank your brewer for giving us something truly to appreciate!

Cheers!
