Welcome to the very first Brewsing Bites! Your quick hit of craft beer, culture, and whatever's on Rob G's mind.

This week, Rob cracks open Victory Brewing Company's Philly First, a collaboration with Visit Philadelphia celebrating America's 250th birthday, and shares why it's the good beer for cookouts, pool days, and conversations that last longer than your pour. Then it's time to look ahead at some of the biggest beer festivals on the calendar, including Barrel & Flow in Pittsburg, PA, Rhythm & Brews in Brandywine, MD, Snallygaster in Washington, DC, and Kennett Brewfest in Kennett Square, with a few personal recommendations on which events deserve a spot on your schedule.

Outside the beer world, Rob dives into Philly sports, giving his thoughts on the Sixers' offseason moves, Eagles training camp, and wraps things up with a quick review of Kevin Hart's latest Netflix comedy.

Brewsing Bites is your laid-back bonus serving between full episodes - just beer, banter, culture, and real conversation.

Grab a drink, tap in, and let us know: Which beer festival are you hitting this year?
