Cheers to the Ladies

Philly Beer Week might appear to be a male-driven happening, but there are plenty of events that give props to female drinkers, too.

If you're a home brewer, check out Home Sweet Home Brew Ladies Day, where you'll get a 10 percent discount at the shop (2008 Sansom St.) if you mention Beer Week between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. From 2:30 to 5 p.m., put on your fanciest hat and head over to the third annual Ladies Beer Tea at the Belgian Café (601 N. 21st St.). They'll pair five beers with tea sandwiches and other goodies.

Need a stretch after a long day of drinking? At 6 p.m., check out Happy Hour Yoga at Yards (901 N. Delaware Ave.) with instructor Theresa Conroy, wife of the Daily News' Don "Joe Sixpack" Russell. There's a beer tasting after class (upward facing pint!). Tix are $25.

From 6 to 8 p.m., Smokin' Betty's (116 S. 11th St.) and Dock Street co-host Broads & Brews, an evening of all-you-can-drink "female-driven drafts" (think Stoudt's Scarlet Lady ) and all-you-can-eat apps. Ladies in the limelight include Philadelphia Brewing Co.'s Nancy Barton and Dock Street co-owner Rosermarie Certo. Tix are $25.

Beginning at 6:30 p.m., Jake's (4365 Main St.) and the next-door Cooper's Wine Bar will host a five-course Ladies of Beer Dinner featuring Whitney Thompson of Victory and Denise Jones of California's Moylan's. Interesting pairings will include polenta gnocchi matched with Victory Golden Monkey and Moylan's Winter White christmas Lager. Dinner is $59 plus tax/tip. That same night, starting at 8 p.m., the ladies of the In Pursuit of Ale (IPA) women's beer club will take turns DJing at Johnny Brenda's (1201 N. Frankford Ave.) during the IPA Dance Party. Sly Fox beers on deck.
