Rejoice, lovers of beer as your holiday is upon us. Several Philly breweries and bars prepare to celebrate International Beer Day.
International Beer Day will be celebrated on August 6. Founded by Jesse Avshalomov of Santa Cruz, California in 2007 to honor beer, beer makers and those that serve beer from all around the world in one single day. What began in Cali, is now celebrated worldwide in 207 cities, 80 countries and 6 continents.
In Philly, we are celebrating International Beer Day in our special way as a number of breweries and bars will offer exclusive brews, collaborations and events for beer enthusiasts to indulge in.
Here are our tops picks:
2SP Brewing Company and Wawa
Sunfest Strawberry Shandy: “A crushable, light-bodied beach beer with a touch of sweetness made with Wawa’s fresh lemonade.” A limited-edition release, the Sunfest Strawberry Shandy can be found at select Wawa stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, as well as the 2SP Brewing Company in Aston, PA. The Shandy will be available throughout the summer.
