Luckily this heat wave comes during Philly Beer Week, so one way to cool off might be to head over to a West Philly venue. Here is a rundown of today’s local hops haps:

• Local 44 (4333 Spruce St.)

Tonight is OG (original gravity) and Wells and Young’s meet the brewer night. Celebrate original gravity beers (ie Rogue, Brooklyn Brewing, Dogfish Head) and meet brewer Jim Robertson of Britain’s Wells and Young’s, who is allegedly bringing a rare cask of Young’s Ram Rod that will be tapped at 6 p.m. sharp.
