Celebrate Craft Beer at Haddon Pub Fest June 2

Haddon Pub Fest is a time for craft brew lovers to come together and raise their glasses to beer.

Beer lovers, mark your calendars: June 2 brings merry tidings, as a piece of Philly Beer Week saunters over the Walt Whitman Bridge and nestles itself right into the heart of Restaurant Row.

That's the day the glorious, soaking-wet stretch of Haddon Avenue between the dry communities of Collingswood and Haddonfield is playing host to Haddon Pub Fest from noon until 6 p.m.

Each participating location will spotlight a particular craft beer and host its brewer or distributor. For $10, you can purchase a Pub Fest T-shirt (on sale now at any Pub Fest-participating establishment), which gets you access to special deals, door prizes and other perks.

To sweeten the deal—and I can’t emphasize enough how important this is—a FREE shuttle service will run continuously among all pubs and the Westmont PATCO station. Take advantage of it. Don’t needlessly ruin any lives.

Drink responsibly, and enjoy yourselves!
