It’s June 1st, and in Philadelphia that means it’s the start of Philly Beer Week! According to the Philly Beer Week web site:

Philly Beer Week is a 10-day celebration of the Best Beer-Drinking City in America.

Established in 2008, it’s the largest beer celebration of its kind in America, featuring hundreds of festivals, dinners, tours, pub crawls, tastings and meet-the-brewer nights to area bars, restaurants and other locations throughout Greater Philadelphia.

Philly Beer Week draws thirsty beer fans from throughout the region and beyond, making it one of Philadelphia’s key annual tourism events.
