Unfortunately, it's going to be a while before large-scale events are able to resume, but that's not stopping virtual festivals from popping up.

Devil's Den in South Philly will host Pucker Up! Sour Fest on Friday, Aug. 21, offering the 21-plus crowd a beer festival experience from the comfort of their couches. 

The event will take place over Zoom at 7 p.m. Meredith Rebar, a beer expert with Home Brewed Events, will lead the online experience.

To participate in Sour Fest, purchase a $40 ticket online then pick up the beer between Saturday, Aug. 15, and Friday Aug. 21.

And for those who really love sour beers, the entire sour beer collection will be 20% off from Saturday, Aug. 15, to Sunday, Aug. 23. It is available for outdoor dining and for takeout.

Devil’s Den also offers a cocktail with proceeds going to a worthy cause.

It's made with peach shandy, peach schnapps, homemade peach lemonade and topped with Belgian wheat beer. Last month, the bar sold a cocktail to raise funds for a LGBTQ+ nonprofit.
