Sixpoint Pop-Up Brewery at City Tap House
Fri.-Sun., Nov. 19-21, $5-$10

City Tap House's first-ever Pop-Up Brewery puts distinctive microbreweries on draft in the bar's private lounge. First up is Brooklyn's Sixpoint Craft Ales, serving Red Tuft ESB, Righteous Ale and many more brews — including the nearly-kicked summer seasonal Apollo Wheat. (Only 10 kegs left!) Snag a limited-edition glass with two draft pours for $10, or stick to the bar's $5-per-Sixpoint price plan. City Tap House, The Radian, 3925 Walnut St., 215-662-0105, citytaphouse.com.

Country Delight at Pub & Kitchen
Tue., Nov. 23, 4 p.m., pay as you go

Giddy up for Pub & Kitchen's second annual Country Delight, a down-on-the-farm foodie evening of the Southern-fried variety. Sip $3 canned beers, or order "Mickey's Delightful Punch" for $4 (max two per customer — so it's gotta be good). Food-wise, expect buttermilk fried chicken, cider-braised greens and Anson Mills grits with honey and butter. Yee-haw! Pub & Kitchen, 1946 Lombard St., 215-545-0350, thepubandkitchen.com.

A Taste of History: Dining in the 18th Century at the Rosenbach Museum
Thu., Nov. 18, 6-8 p.m., $10

Before TV dinners (and, for that matter, TV), eating was a complex affair: In the 1700s, etiquette was key, and food took much longer to prepare. Women's history/historic food specialist Kimberly Costa's presentation will focus on food prep, presentation and preservation; afterward, guests can sample "historically accurate" sweetmeats and pick up recipes from the time period. RSVP at rsvp@rosenbach.org. Rosenbach Museum & Library, 2008-2010 Delancey Place, 215-732-1600, ext. 123, rosenbach.org.
