Next week, 10,000+ brewing industry professionals (at least, that's what we like to call ourselves) will descend upon the City of Brotherly Love for the Craft Beer Conference. This year, it's setting up shop in Philadelphia, a city with a rich history in brewing that goes back further than the crack in the Liberty Bell. While the conference itself is for industry members only, we'd like to personally invite you to paint the town Flying Dog.

Monday, May 2 at Percy Street BBQ
Featuring Percy's beloved chicken biscuit, BBQ fries and pulled pork sliders alongside Bloodline Blood Orange Ale and Fever Dream Mango Habanero IPA.

Tuesday, May 3 at Moriarty's Pub 
Featuring $2 Tacos, Numero Uno Agave Cerveza and Numero Uno Margaritas.

Wednesday, May 4 at City Tap House
