Brooklyn Brewery's 2016 Mash Tour is happening this weekend in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Feast, party, explore the city and sample all kinds of beer.

It's all part of Brooklyn Brewery's 2016 Mash Tour where they descend upon a city for a few days of fun - and right now, it's happening here in Philadelphia.

"This is our 4th stop on the tour we will go to 9 different cities - we kicked off in London and Stockholm," said Gabe Barry from Brooklyn Brewery.

Among a list of events on tap, this sunday it's "Neighborhood Immersion," which is all about exploring the city on foot.

"We will be celebrating all of the amazing bars restaurants and incredible shops here in Fishtown and Northern Liberties," said Gabe.

It starts at the Schmidts Commons on 2nd Street where you pay $20 for a day full of adventures.

People are going to get passports. Inside the passports (are) coupons for participating businesses," said Ben Plotkin from Brooklyn Brewery. "All of the spots are offering food options and beer. Some are discounting products.

Participants include Creep Records, Garage, Barcade and Heritage on 2nd street, which is cooking up a fun deal

"If you come here, you get a free beer. After that, if you get a second beer you unlock the secret menu that we are going to be running all day," said Sean Magee, Executive Chef at Heritage.

And here's a hint - that secret menu includes a smoked trout on toast.

Keystone Mini Golf will give you a free beer and golf ball with a round of play.

"If you get a hole in one on the last hole, Brooklyn Brewery will buy you and a friend a round of golf," said employee William Cannon.

If you attend the coffee and rum tasting at La Colombe's cupping lab in Fishtown, you'll leave with a free pastry and draft latte.
