The Pi Brew
We’re back at it again with the Brew! We’re less than a week away from Super Bowl LV, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There was still plenty of action this weekend with the Phillies re-signing J.T. Realmuto, WWE’s Royal Rumble, the start of a huge snowstorm for the Philadelphia area and Northeast region, and so much more. Without any further delay, here’s your much needed cup of Brew for February 1, 2021.
