This week’s column
Savor, the big beer & food festival in D.C. this weekend, is the topic of this week’s column, with the underlying question: Will beer ever edge out wine as the go-to beverage of gourmet cuisine.
I know a lot of Philly folks are headed down I-95 (don’t forget to stop by State Line Liquors at the Elkton exit). If you’re staying in the area, remember Saturday is the 8th Annual Brandywine Valley Craft Brewers Festival at Iron Hill Brewery (30 E. State St., Media). Held on the street outside the brewpub, the event features craft beer from 25 of the region’s top breweries and raises funds for the Media Youth Center. I’ll be signing copies of “Joe Sixpack’s Philly Beer Guide.” Taps pour 1-5 p.m., $30/$35 at the door, 610-627-9000.
