Craft Beer Express & Erin Express. Lets All Get Along


Good morning. Looks like today we will all be dodging rain drops as we make are way around the city for Philly Beer Weekend. Having a ticket for the Craft Beer Express seems like a very smart investment. Just remember connoisseurs of all beer aged, heavy hopped, soured, barrel conditioned, smoked and made in small batches, you are sharing the city streets with those who find amusement in drinking large amounts of green colored macro junk. The Erin Express will also weave its way through the City of Brotherly Love.

Now if you should cross paths with those clad from head to toe in green resist your first urge to laugh and grumble over their choice in beer. Even if you're smacked with the words beer snob or craft beer geek take the high road. For someday they may journey from the dark side. Or is it the thin watery light side? Then they will realize that Bud Select isn't the pinnacle of American brewing. Hopefully that first taste of Guinness, Murphy's, Beamish, Harp or Bass is the launch pad to real beer appreciation.

Today in an act of solidarity I'll dust off my giant leprechaun hat, dawn the green beads and pour my Sculpin IPA into a colorful oversized plastic mug. I may drink good beer but never, never mistake me for a snob. Cheers!!!
