Suburban Beer Week Comes Back for a 2nd Round

While it might not be as big (and confusing) as Philly Beer Week, our local Suburban Beer Week events swing into gear on Monday. 

Four local restaurants - Lucky Lab Tavern, Craft Ale House, French Quarter Bistro and the Railroad Street Bar & Grill - are holding events each night from May 13-19.

Visit all four sometime during the week's events, get your card stamped, and you'll be entered to win two tickets to Opening Tap of Philly Beer Week - the huge kickoff event - and an overnight hotel stay in the city. 

The drawing will be held Sunday May 19 at 8 p.m., at Lucky Lab Tavern.

Royersford's French Quarter Bistro kicks off the week of events Monday night with "Locals Only", serving local food and beer. 

Tuesday, the action shifts to Craft Ale House, for a tap takeover from Dogfish Head Brewing in Delaware. According to their Facebook page, Craft Ale House will have 19 beers on tap.

Wednesday returns to French Quarter Bistro for an IPA-themed event.

Thursday goes back to Craft Ale House for a visit from Goose Island Brewery, with a few rare beers on tap and a series of Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout. 

Friday is TGIV night - Thank God It's Victory - at Lucky Lab Tavern. 

Saturday, visit Railroad Street Bar & Grill for a tap takeover by Ballast Point Brewing Company. (And if you've never tried the grilled cheese, do it!)

Finally, Sunday goes back to Lucky Lab Tavern for a dog-related event. They'll have beers from breweries such as Flying Dog, Laughing Dog and Thirsty Dog. A portion of Sunday night's sales will be donated to All 4 Paws rescue.

So, if you're a fan of craft beer and great food, this week's series of events is not to be missed!
