Savor that lager tonight and celebrate the Yuengling's two million-barrel production, which brings it closer than ever to beating Sam Adams. And since the big boys (think Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors) have been bought out by overseas outfits, that would make Yuengling the best-selling American-owned brewery. Although we're big fan's of Sam's wheat beer, there's nothing quite like a locally-brewed bottle of lager to cleanse the palate and clear the mind. Of course, it also bears mentioning that many a blurry night of karaoke has come and gone, leaving only a crowd of empty lager bottles in its wake.

We love Beer Week. And one of the events we’re excited about has been missing from the itineraries of Philly tastings. This Friday the 13th, 13 Restaurant will offer free samples of appetizers and Sam Adams from noon until midnight.

If Philly Beer Week had a queen, it would no doubt be Suzanne Woods. Sly Fox Brewing Company’s director of sales and general “beer lass” is also the founding president of In Pursuit of Ale (IPA), a women’s-only beer drinking group recently featured on the front page of msn.com. We caught up with Suzanne at the Sly Fox brewer meet-and-greet at Johnny Brenda’s on Tuesday to talk about her favorite subject, so listen up ladies (and gentlemen) and let her infinite wisdom guide you through the rest of Beer Week and beyond.

We at the Gothamist network would like to express our heartfelt wishes to the people of Minnesota in the days after their tragic bridge collapse. We're not trying to discount the severity of the accident by making note of it in opposition to our usual -Ist lightheartedness – we just wanted to take a moment and recognize those affected last week.

Though I expected the Eagles to win, all the imbibed Sam Adams Winter Brews, along with the frenzied conversation shared with my relatives, made the game play out like a dream, as they ran away with the game in the second half. Literally. The Eagles 204 yds rushing was three more than the Cowboys total offensive output. They ended the day with 426 yds of total offensive. But what was most impressive was how they were able to control the clock during long sustained drives: they ended the game with 37:06 minutes of possession compared to 22:54 for the Cowboys. On their opening drive Garcia overcame the momentary loss of L.J. Smith (Smith would return in the 3rd with a 65yd completion that helped set up a field goal) by connecting with his backup, Matt Scobel, for a 25 yard touchdown pass after a 13 play 89 yard drive that ate up seven minutes and twelve seconds from the clock. After exchanging possession via a fumble on the ensuing kickoff followed by a Jeff Garcia interception (Madden proved once again that he doesn't know what he's talking about as he said: "This is what Garcia does a lot of," as Garcia has thrown only two INTs in five games in addition to recently have a stint where he threw the most passes of his career without an INT), the Eagles defense shutdown the Cowboys on the goalline in dramatic fashion. Garcia took them right back down the field with another 89-yard drive (12-yards, 7:30) that resulted in a David Akers field goal to put the Birds up by 10.
