Opening the Crooked House to the Public!
I’m gonna be on a house tour! Or actually better than that, a beer tour. This one will be especially interesting because the whole group moves from house to house on a schedule. That means I can expect about 70 people. And remember, this room is basically the whole house.
So this should be interesting. But I’m excited. Also I’m relieved to be early enough that if it spills onto the sidewalk people won’t hate me.
And because I’m sure you’re either dying to come (or devastated to be too far away), here’s the event information!
The East Point Breeze Neighbors Association (Formerly Newbold Neighbors) will be hosting their 10th annual ‘Beer Tour’ fundraiser on October 15th. The wildly successful and fun event attracts about 100 attendees each year. The Beer Tour is a wonderful opportunity to meet new neighbors, eat great food, drink delicious beer, and tour some of the wonderful homes in the Newbold area.
Starting at 5:00 on Saturday, October 15th, we will journey through 5 different houses in the neighborhood. Each house will feature food paired with 2 different beers. At the first house, each ticket holder will receive a pint glass designed by a local neighborhood artist, a map outlining the remaining homes and the beginnings of a good time. This event is 21+, so please bring your ID and make sure to buy your tickets in advance as the Beer Tour always sells out early.
East Point Breeze Neighbors is a non-profit civic organization established in 2007 serving residents, owners, and businesses in the Point Breeze area of South Philadelphia west of Broad St. to 18th St. and south of Washington Ave. to Passyunk Ave. EPBN strives to engage residents, support sustainable development, promote local businesses, and strengthen our community through clean streets, greening efforts, public safety, planning, zoning, and outreach. The money raised on the beer tour goes toward community efforts like Big-Belly trash cans, block clean up days, and supplies for the community garden.

Yep, wish we were there!
Wow! I hope they all don’t show up at once. But probably there will be coming and going. What an exciting adventure for you!
Beer + open house = high risk situation. Good luck!!! I do wish I could come. I would love to see the work in person!!
Your house is looking gorgeous. This is the ultimate housewarming party. Have fun and wait to clean up until after they leave. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
Thanks! The house hasn’t changed in a solid 3 months now but I don’t think I’ve showed the living room from that angle since New Year’s. And yes, it might be the day after that I wet mop the floors for the first time. Especially if I take the living room rug up for the event.
As for this being the ultimate housewarming, bonus points for really, really meeting the neighbors, but negative points for not having my own friends in.
Beer tour? Sign me up. 🙂 This sounds like a lot of fun.
Well Philly’s a doable weekend trip if you have the time to spare
