It seems not everybody was thrilled at Tomme Arthur of Pizza Port and Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River Brewing stuck to their wilder beers last week during a beer dinner at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t have a good time. Nice recap at The Brew Lounge that makes [...]
