Philadelphia Brewing Co. Open House

Sun., Nov. 30, 1-5 p.m.,free-will donation

PBC is rounding up Santa and all the Kenzinger, Newbold and Rowhouse he (and you) can fit in his big ol' jolly belly for a special thank you to all the drinkers who have sustained the brewery's local buzz. Snacks will be provided and donations will be accepted for the Flat Iron Wildcats, a neighborhood org that helps provide all cold stray kitties with homes and supplies this winter. Philadelphia Brewing Co., 2423-39 Amber St., 215-427-BREW, philadelphiabrewing.com.

The Feast of the Seven Dishes of Fish

Mon., Dec. 1 and Wed., Dec. 3, 6-8 p.m., $130

This is a two-day boot camp for the sons and daughters who've reaped the culinary rewards of La Vigilia for as long as they can remember — it's your turn to learn the art of fried smelts, calamari and spaghetti aglio e olio with alici. Of course, your stuff will probably never taste as good as grandma's, but she deserves the break. Kitchen Kapers, 1341 Nixon Drive, Moorestown, N.J., 856-778-7705, kitchenkapers.com.

Prix-Fixe Brunch Menu at Tinto

Sundays, 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., $25

This winter, Tinto heats up with the introduction of a new brunch menu that includes two courses, a side dish and dessert. Choose between Tortilla Espanola, Revuelto de Hongos (shirred eggs with porcini and royal trumpet mushrooms) or brioche French toast. Tinto, 114 S. 20th St., 215-665-9150, tintorestaurant.com.

St. Andrew's Day at Grey Lodge

Sun., Nov. 30

Sure, the saints are some very holy folk — but we think the Grey Lodge likes them because it gives them an excuse to drink. Pay homage to the patron saint of Scotland with traditional dishes including Scotch eggs, Cullen skink (smoked haddock soup) and haddock fish and chips — and most importantly, Scottish beer and Scotch whiskey. The Grey Lodge, 6235 Frankford Ave., 215-825-5357, greylodge.com.
