HISTORY OF CRAFT BEER EXPRESS
The CBX is a collaboration between several bar owners who all share the same love of beer as well as a long lasting friendship. The idea of a bus for a pub crawl is not new nor unique only the level of collaboration. What we wanted to achieve is something for a more mature audience with a emphasis on the quality of the events & beer. As business owners we always enjoy a large crowed but also believe in everyone being comfortable that is why we try to limit the amount of ticket sales. We will constantly be adding more buses to the route to ensure minimal wait times as well as adequate seating. Currently the CBX is held three times a year the Saturday before St Paticks Day, first Wednesday of Philadelphia Beer Week & the second Saturday of November. The tickets for events are available on line through our website up until the day before the event. Because tickets are limited it is advised to purchase in advance as there is a high probability that you won't be able to get any the day of the events.
