Tonight we are going to the South Philly Bar Crawl and its going to be awesome! It’s $12 for a beer at 5 bars: P.O.P.E., 1601, SPTR, The Dive, and Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar. Heres the map

I’m excited to check out P.O.P.E because it’s the only one out of those bars that I haven’t been to. 1601, The Dive and SPTR all have an excellent selection of bottled beers and rotating taps including some of our favorite local breweries. Ray’s which only has yueng ling and pbr on tap does have a few decent bottles but its more about the ambiance (or lack there of) then the beer selection at Ray’s.

I hope to see you there because It’s sure to be a drunken romp down Passyunk.

I just built this template in 1hr. Seriously, it felt REAL good.

PhillyBetterBeer.com has been in our domain family for quite some time now. Originally, we wanted to build a full-featured beer-lover’s community site for the Philadelphia Area that included a locater powered by the Google Maps API to help thirsty Philadlephian’s find the nearest better beer bar. Then we realized these guys were already doing that. (And doing it well, fo’sho)

The domain laid dormant for a few months BUT with Philly Beer Week 2008 quickly approaching we decided to build a site to map our tasting this year, and help coordinate our beer-loving friends. Also, because we met so many people last year and promptly lost contact with most of them, we’re hoping PhillyBetterBeer might serve as a point of contact and perhaps help grow an online community of HomeBrewers in Philly.

Let us know what you think.
