Weekend Roundup 1/31
My friend’s baby is already a hophead — reaching for the Bell’s Hopslam at Al’s of Hampden.
What a conclusion to the first month of 2013: It’s been a huge week for beer — but Tierney will have those details tomorrow — and this weekend kicks off Chocolate-Covered February in Hershey. Spectacular combo!
Tomorrow night, my college roommate will be in town just for the night, and I’m excited to catch up with her. We’ll probably keep it low key and get some pizza or maybe head out to Shady’s.
On Saturday, I’ll be at a Chocolate & Spirits pairing at the Hershey Lodge, then of course Sunday is the Super Bowl. If you want to head out to the bar, I have some suggestions on PennLive. I’m thinking we’ll order subs from South Philly Hoagies (California cheesesteak and maybe a turkey) and wings from Moe’s (I plan to order a few naked and add my own Torchbearer concoction at home!).
