It’s 10% off everything through Monday, June 30th at our favorite wine store, Moore Brothers where they are celebrating their 12th anniversary.

Suzanne Woods is a lot of things, she’s the founder of In Pursuit of Ale, the women’s beer club of Philadelphia, she’s a blogger at “I’ll have another Stout”, she’s a bartender at Jose Pistola’s, she’s a Sly Fox beer rep, she’s an all round beer lass, she’s the Vanna White to Johnny Goodtimes’ Pat Sajak on the quizzo circuit, she’s our best Foobooz tipster and we’re sure we’re missing at least three other occupations. As of today she has yet another hat, that of monthly columnist for Philadelphia Weekly. Today, her initial column calls out bars to recycle and gives us all a heads up on some new beers worth drinking.
