Brooklyn Brewery Attempts To Take Over Philly (But Just For A Week)
You know the problem with Philly? It’s not enough like Brooklyn.
Or at least that’s what the good people from Brooklyn Brewery seem to think, because they’re putting their entire native borough on the road in the form of the Brooklyn Brewery Mash and bringing it to 11 different cities across the country. It’ll hit Philly November 5-10 and bring with it beer, food, books, beer, film, music, beer and beer. And while yes, the entire thing fairly reeks of highly mobile hipsterism (there’s a dance-off, after all, and probably a lot of mustaches), there are also some pretty cool beer-and-food-related events happening.
So grab your tiny hat, polish up your old-timey bicycle and start marking these things on your calendar now.
