The Camel, the excellent live venue and watering hole on W. Broad St., is presenting a Pumpkin Tap Takeover in celebration of Halloween this year. The event begins on Saturday October 22 and will continue through Halloween, for a total of 10 days of pumpkin brew awesomeness. There'll be a ton of great bands playing at the Camel during that time as well, so even if you don't plan on drinking any pumpkin ales, you'll still have plenty of reason to make it down there as often as possible. From pop-punkers The Menzingers to heartfelt rock n' rollers Polar Bear Club and Make Do And Mend to Noah O's Hip Hop Halloween showcase to the heartfelt folk of Crooked Fingers, there'll be a wide variety of genres and styles on display. Come down and check them out as often as possible!
