Next week Brett Packers Tomme Arthur of Lost Abbey/Port Brewing and Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head Brewery roll into Philly to remind us all how good we have it. Hmmm, are we sure that Philly Beer Week doesn't start until June? Each brewer is hosting a special night of tasting and conversation.
Meet the Brewer Night: Tomme Arthur
Monday Feb 22, 6-8PM
This one is close to my heart. One look at my profile pic and you know that I share the shaved dome and glasses look (along with a serious love for great beer) with Mr. Arthur and Memphis owner Brendan Hartranft. What's the big deal? $1.00 of all Port Brewing and Lost Abbey drafts for the follically and optically challenged. Bald dudes with glasses unite!

Join Memphis Taproom on Monday, February 22 from 6-8pm as we host Port Brewing and Lost Abbey brewer Tomme Arthur for a night of chitchat and world class beer. The draft lineup will include Mongo Double IPA, Older Viscosity, Hop 15, Wipeout IPA, Gift of the Magi ('08) and Carnivale in addition to some super limited edition surprises.
Calagione is Down to Earth/Keep the Pint Night
Thursday Feb 25, 6-8PM
Interested in meeting an off-centered brewing rock star, drink his beer and take away some nifty glassware? Then this is your big night. Sam Calagione takes over Earth Bread + Brewery to chat it up and mingling with the beer people. Expect Dogfish influenced food and of course a fine selection of drafts.
Another Brett Packer Cometh.
