Somebody had to do it: Navigating the city's beer scene without a native guide gets scary. Enter Joe Sixpack (Don Russell), the irrepressible beer columnist at the Philadelphia Daily News. His new guide answers a beer-drinker's deepest questions: How did Johnny Brenda's get its name? When do you use a goblet? Where can you get real ale on old-fashioned hand pumps? You'll be lost without it!
