Sly Fox Beer Dinner at Chick's Café

This post is PR, plain and simple. Just helping to spread the word about a cool event at one of the nicest beverage-savvy spots in town. On Tuesday, June 24, brewmaster Brian O'Reilly of Phoenixville's Sly Fox Brewing Company will present a side-by-side tasting of his own local brews along with the old world standards on which they're modeled. Comparative tastings like this can be a great way to sample different styles and gain a better understanding of your own preferences. I wrote here before -- in the context of a memorial to the great beer author Michael Jackson -- about a Belgian vs. US Belgian knock-off event, held many years ago at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, which remains one of the most memorable beer tastings I've ever attended. Will the event at Chick's be the same? Of course not, but I'm sure it will be a more than worthy event in its own right.
