Description: Philadelphia was recently honored as the home of the first lager brewed in America.

What makes lager different from ale - and as anthropologist Gregory Bateson once asked, "What difference does the difference make?"

The tutored sessions will be followed by an open tasting of over 120 outstanding microbrews from around the world, complemented by foods from Museum Catering Company.Guests must be at least 21 years of age to attend.
