Sam, Tomme & Old Beer at Nodding Head

What would Philly Beer Week be without a visit from our old friend Sam Calagione, President and Founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery? This year, he’ll be joined by another trailblazer in the world of craft beer, Tomme Arthur of Port Brewing and Lost Abbey in San Diego.

These two amazing brewers have agreed to provide us with 5 (five !) beers EACH from their personal stashes of VINTAGE offerings. That’s 10 (ten !) aged versions of some of the most sought after beers in the world…each paired with specially selected tasty hors d’Å“uvres meant to both delight and perhaps challenge your tastebuds.

All of this deliciousness will be butlered to you while you mingle with your friends to the sounds of Kevin Hanson and Friends. This intimate party will surely be one of the most talked about events of this or any other Beer Week for years to come.

Don’t miss it.
