Marketing Gimmicks

Tonight: Tipple with Tommy LaSorda, Go Meatless at Royal

• Baseball Hall-of-Famer and Norristown native Tommy LaSorda will be at the PLCB store in Deep Southern Philadelphia tonight from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. to sign bottles of his LaSorda Wine. This goes without saying, but you have to buy one of the wines - there’s a pinot grigio and a chianti - before he’ll sign it. 21 and older only. The store address is 1940 S. Columbus Blvd., but you’ll have an easier time finding if it we tell you it’s in the vicinity of the Ikea-Lowe’s Wasteland. [PLCB]

• As part of its anniversary celebrations, Royal Tavern is honoring its vegan and vegan-friendly clientele with a night of all vegetarian and vegan blackboard specials with a portion of proceeds going to PAWS.

In Pursuit of Ale, the lady-centric beer-drinking group helmed by Suzy “Beer Lass” Woods, is meeting up at Resurrection Ale House tonight at 7:30 p.m. Go meet some women who love craft beer and don’t forget to enter our contest to win a copy of The Naked Pint. [Beer Lass]
