Party Down with Geekadelphia!

Are you ready to party? We’re going to finish BarCamp Philly with a BANG this year with the most epic Rock Band battle Philly has ever seen! The afterparty will be hosted by our friends at Geekadelphia, Philly’s premiere geek blog at Philly’s premiere geek bar National Mechanics. They’ve got lots of goodies and prizes in store for the players with the most performance, score, and style. Itching to release your inner David Bowie? Now’s your big chance!

Geekadelphia will also be hosting a silent auction with some seriously great goodies, with all proceeds going to Child’s Play, a game industry charity that will help kids right here in Philly at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

This year, we’re kicking-off BarCamp Philly with an event all about BEER. BeerCamp Philly is a DIY Beer Event hosted by Philly’s own Two Guys on Beer – Dave Martorana and Johnny Bilotta. The event will feature 10 local Homebrewers pouring their own homegrown brews in tasting portions.

Here is a sneak-peek at the DIY brews we’ve got lined-up:

Apricot Ale
Spicy Hefeweisen
Dark Pumpkin Wheat
Cherry Wood Smoked Maple Porter
Lagunitas IPA Clone Brew
Kona Hazelnut Imperial Brown Ale,
Mint Chocolate Milk Stout
Black Cherry Vanilla Porter

These DIY brews will be paired with sandwiches from Philly’s local sandwich authority Unbreaded, and beer from local breweries will supplement the homebrew tasting.

EVENT DETAILS:
Date: Friday, November 13th
Time: 6-9pm
Location: IndyHall – 20 North 3rd St, Philadelphia 19106

This is a community-driven event in the spirit of BarCamp – the Homebrewers are donating their beer to the event to make this DIY tasting event possible, and Indy Hall has graciously offered their space for the event. All proceeds will benefit Philabundance.
