Philadelphia, PA., June 2010 – Two very special guests came all the way across the ocean for Philly Beer Week 2010: Mr. Simon Poynton from Samuel Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster and Franz Inselkammer, Jr. from Ayinger Brewery. Both were busy all week - there were over 1,000 total beer events in greater Philadelphia between June 4 and June 13, 2010.
