Beer Radar

I was up in New York yesterday with the Greater Phila. Tourism & Marketing Corp., promoting Philly Beer Week to several 7th Ave. magazines. They seemed extremely interested in our local beer culture; here’s hoping we get a little ink.

Coincidentally, we ran into the editor responsible for that Travel & Leisure mag story that rated Philly the ugliest city in America. She was extremely apologetic and said something like, “What we really meant is that you’re the 25th most attractive.” Whatever. I advised the GPTMC it should launch a new tourism campaign: “Visit Philly - You Never Looked Better.”

Also stopped in at the relatively new Blind Tiger in Greenwich Village and had a glass of Defiant Farmhouse. I also enjoyed a pint of pale ale from a freshly tapped firkin that the spacey barmaid claimed was from Chelsea Brewing. But she didn’t seem to know much more than that. FYI: Blind Tiger is across the street from Murray’s Cheese, the DiBruno’s of NY.
