in New Hope invite everyone to a Winter
Slow Food & Beer Tasting (see poster

meet all of our area’s great brewers as

honey, etc. Meet the producers and taste their
local, sustainable products paired with your
favorite beer styles. You will also be able
to buy some of the products directly from the
producers.
You can purchase
tickets in advance for $30.00 (Slow Food members)
and $35.00 (non-members). At the door on the
day of the event, tickets will be $40.00 (for

A portion of the proceeds will support Slow
Food initiatives.
The coming
months will bring many Slow Food Philadelphia
events – among them Pasta at Penne, Chocolate
at DiBruno Brothers, and events with cookbook
authors and other food professionals. Details

I look forward
to seeing many of you at the Imperial Inn and
