Philly Beer Week officially kicks off this Friday evening with the Opening Tap. The event features 42 local breweries offering samples of their beer as well as the official debut of Brotherly Suds, the local collaborative brew created by Flying Fish, Iron Hill, Nodding Head, Sly Fox, Earth Bread + Brewery, Troegs, Victory, Weyerbacher and Yards.
Opening Tap is at the 23rd Street Armory in Center City and runs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Three tiers of admission are available:
- General Admission: $46
- VIP Admission: $92 (includes an additional hour of access, beginning at 6 p.m., plus exclusive beers, a buffet and a special beer and cheese pairing from Di Bruno Bros.)
