Beer Week Enthusiast: 'I really thought someone was calling our beer weak.'


"I took it very personally," said Adam Zimmer, 36, of Bala Cynwyd, PA, referring to the idea of Philadelphia's beer being less than stellar compared to other American cities. "I kept thinking to myself we have Yards, Sly Fox, Victory, Philly, Dock Street, Nodding Head and Triumph to name a few and they're calling our beer weak?"

When Zimmer realized his spelling mistake he forced himself to attend Philly Beer Week events wearing a cardboard cowboy hat (pictured) made from a Coors Light case box.

"It was pretty rough," said Zimmer, "I got lots of stares. But not as many as my drunk buddy who kept yelling, 'Fillet Bear Wheat.'"
