On Friday, December 4 and Saturday, December 5, 2015, TJ’s Restaurant & Drinkery in Paoli, PA celebrated their 12th anniversary with an epic taplist. TJ’s has been rated one of the “Top 25 Places to Have a Pint” by Beer Advocate and one of the “Top 50 Beer Restaurants in the World” by RateBeer.com.
This year’s event was noticeably quieter than the parties in the past, as the event was not as heavily promoted as in the past. For locals and fans of TJ’s, it was easier to secure a table or a seat at the bar and easier to snag a sip of the impressive lineup of beers.
