So I’m dubbing this week my favorite of the year. There are
so many awesome events going on!
On Sunday, June 1st, East Passyunk Ave was full
of people enjoying the perfect weather, music, food and of course beer. Not
only was the day reserved for the Craft Beer Festival but the Italian Festival
was also taking place. I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy both.
The Craft Beer Festival included eight participating bars
along E. Passyunk Ave with some beer specials specifically picked out for
Philly Beer Week. The first stop on my list was Pub on Passyunk East (P.O.P.E).
There I had Shawnee Double Pale Ale that was delicious. I wanted to make sure I
only drank beers I never had before. The bar was just getting crowded as I
moved on to my next destination and the sun was heating up too. The next stop
was Birra, where I didn’t stay long as it seemed a little bit crowded, which
was expected. I moved onto the Italian festival that was right down the street.
The Italian festival was full of good food and good music.
Beer tents and food trucks lined the street as well as a band and a DJ playing
classic Italian music as well as contemporary hits. It was the perfect length
to stroll up and down in the warm sun without getting too tired or hot.
After two beers at the festival, a 21st Amendment
and a Sly Fox, Lucky 13 was the next stop. It was close by and not too crowded
so I grabbed a table near the bathroom, where I desperately needed to stop by! After
enjoying a delicious Victory beer, I stepped back out into the late afternoon
sunshine. There were still many people enjoying the festival(s), however, I was
getting tired.
Four beers deep, I was satisfied and ready for a nap.
