Start December as well as you end it with this beer festival at The Blockley in West Philly. Back for its third year, the Philadelphia Winter Beer Festival will be held Saturday, December 1, from 3–8 PM at the University City bar and concert venue.

Over 50 winter brews will pour from craft breweries around the region and country. Tickets are available now for $35 (though the event is nearly half sold out already), and include all the beer you care to taste, light food and live music. Spend just $10 more for the VIP option, which brings two whole hours of early entry and a private tasting presentation.

Group discounts are available (knock $5 off each person’s ticket price), as are sponsorship/vendor opportunities, as of this writing (just $250 for a table). The fact that nibbles are included with your sips make this event unique, so click over to score your tickets today.
