Philly Beer Week 2023 Starts this Friday

Philly Beer Week 2023 kicks off on Friday, 02 June with the annual Hammer of Glory Relay.

Since the second year of Philly Beer Week, the Hammer of Glory has traveled around on a set route from venue to venue until it arrived on time (usually) to tap the first keg for Philly Beer Week.

Philly Beer Week 2023

After missing two years due to Covid, the Relay returned last year. Opening Tap and Philly Beer Week as an official organization didn’t survive Covid, but Philly Beer Week lives on semi-officially.

Friday in Oberpfalz Part 1, & the Zoigl Star: Zoigl Trip - Part 7 of 13

This post is part of a 13 part series, if you want to start from the beginning, click here . Friday in Oberpfalz Part 1, & the Zoigl Star Zoigl Trip - Part 7 of 13 Finally, after an appetizer of Munich posts, here's what you have (hopefully) been waiting for. Our D-bahn tickets gave us free metro rides in Munich for the day, but Billy and I were up early and had way more than enough time, so we hoofed it to Hauptbahnhof, the central train station. Being a true professional, Rich had our day fully scheduled out. We arrived early at the platform to get good seats on the Alex RE2 train, which did indeed fill up. We scored a set of four seats facing each other, and the almost two hour ride passed quickly and jollily. We got off at Wiesau, where we were to catch Bus 6276 to Waldhausen. The train and bus schedules were both a little out of whack that day and the station was under construction. After some confusion and running with baggage, we were on the...

Saturday in Zoigl County Part 2, Neuhaus and Night 2 in Windischeschenbach Zoigl Trip - Part 10 of 13

This post is part of a 13 part series, if you want to start from the beginning, click here . Saturday in Zoigl County Part 2, Neuhaus and Night 2 in Windischeschenbach Zoigl Trip - Part 10 of 13 We ascended the hill for a long time until we finally reached (mostly) level ground in the town of Neuhaus. After a few blocks of houses, we encountered a (not open that night) Zoiglstube and Neuhaus’s Kommunbrauhaus. The brewhouse was easily identified by the sculpture outside. And I think there was a sign too. We reached a second Zoiglstube, Teicher Zoigl, that wasn’t supposed to be open but seemed to be open for a Red Cross fundraiser. Rich was laser focused on getting to Schafferhof Zoiglstube. So we passed by Teicher, with the thought of stopping back. Neuhaus was a really happening little town that Saturday night, with lots of people out on foot, with places to go and people to see. There was a Saturday night excitement that I haven’t really seen...

Thursday in Munich: Zoigl Trip - Part 6 of 13

This post is part of a 13 part series, if you want to start from the beginning, click here . Thursday in Munich Zoigl Trip - Part 6 of 13 The rain returned. We were expecting this, and earlier in the week slotted the Deutsches Museum for this morning. The Deutsches is pretty much Germany’s version of the Smithsonian, except that much of it is in one huge main building, with two other locations around Munich (plus locations in Bonn and Nuremberg). The Deutsches main location is way too big to cover in one day. They changed the entrance location from when I was there almost 20 years before, so we hit the massive air and space hall first, which I had missed before. Lots of other people made this their rainy day plan too, so it was crowded enough to be a little tight. After having our fill of the museum, we lazily made our way back to the hotel, checking out Bavarian clothing stores on the way. Lunch was in the Viktualienmarkt, at a random place with an enclo...
