The Philly Beer Week 2021 tagline, “It’s Essential,” captures the spirit and intent of the nation’s largest and oldest Beer Week to safely
reunite a community of beer drinkers and showcase a fantastic array of craft beers.
This year, Opening Tap, the grand kickoff of Philly Beer Week, will be an interactive and virtual evening highlighting participating breweries, bars, and venues where participants can ‘tap,' toast, and celebrate.

The weekend of June 4 to 6 is filled with brunch options like Lucky's Last Chance locations featuring new releases from Founders Brewing, Jose Pistola’s All Allagash Day, Standard Tap's Cider Brunch, or Devil's Den Dog Days of Summer benefitting the Morris Animal Refuge. Music fans can check out live performances at Olde Kensington Biergarten for Human Robot's LOGJAMMIN, Live on Front by The International Bar. Forsythia will transform into a sexy discotheque and debut the French Citywide - Amer Picon and Love City's Unity IPA. On June 8, the Beer Busters podcast will host a virtual happy hour, A Love Letter to Lagers, celebrating the history of this beer style. Beer drinkers who want to get in some exercise can participate in Iron Hill Brewery’s Run to the TapHouse 5k on June 12.
“Philly Beer Week looks and feels a bit different this year, but is still the best week of the year and certainly the most delicious. Breweries and bars are ready to welcome our amazing beer-
drinking community back with creative and engaging events,” says Christina Dowd, executive director of Philly Loves Beer, the non-profit organization that runs Philly Beer Week. "I'm proud of the conversations we're having as an industry to create safe, inclusive, and harassment-free
spaces to work and celebrate beer. There is a lot of work to be done, and Philly's beer community needs to lead the way to change bad behavior."
In partnership with USciences, Philly Loves Beer will host a much-needed industry event on June 8, at Punch Line Philly at 2PM; Belly Up to the Bar - Critical Conversations for Change: Tips for discussing high stakes / critical issues in your workplace. Chantal Koechli and Matt Farber will lead the program with Melissa and Kevin Walter of Love City
Brewing. Philly Beer Week and participating venues are committed to providing safe, entertaining, and engaging events that comply with local COVID mitigation measures and are
safe and inclusive where all beer drinkers are free from harassment. Philly Loves Beer Event Code of Conduct is posted on the website and distributed to all participating venues.
