For the fourth year running, the Philadelphia Navy Yard will play host to the International Great Beer Expo on the opening weekend of Philly Beer Week. This beer tasting spectacular features over 50 breweries and more than 100 beers from around the world, all lined up and ready to pour under tents on the Marine Parade Grounds in South Philly.

Your $46 advance ticket brings access to more than three hours of all-you-care-to-taste samples, from 1:30–5 PM on Saturday, June 2, plus a souvenir glass. If you’re a serious fan, spring for the $75 VIP entrance fee, which gets you in an hour early, during which time you’ll be able to chat with the brewers and sample special beers not available during the general session.

We’ve been to this fest several times, and can attest to its all-out beery goodness. Check out the video below for a preview of the fun that awaits.
