Craft Brew Night at the Pickering Creek Inn – Christmas in July with Troegs (7/15)

This Thursday, Craft Brew Night at the Pickering Creek Inn will be Christmas in July with Troegs! That’s right, the Mad Elf is back in town and he’s brought two other wickedly delicious brews from Troegs with him: Nugget Nectar, and Java Head Stout.

Festivities get under way at 6pm with a free buffet from 6 till 8pm. There a beer specials all night long with some Troegs Glassware being raffled off as well.

Here’s what’s on tap:

Mad Elf – The combination of Cherries, Honey, and Chocolate Malts delivers gentle fruits and subtle spices. Fermented and aged with a unique yeast, this ruby red beer has significant warming strength that underlies the pleasant character of this intriguing yet delicious Ale.

Nugget Nectar – Starting with the same base ingredients of our flagship HopBack Amber Ale, Nugget Nectar intensifies the malt and hop flavors to create an explosive hop experience. Contains a heady collection of Nugget, Warrior and Tomahawk hops.

Java Head Stout – Contains a blend of locally roasted espresso and Kenyan coffee beans by St. Thomas Roasters in Linglestown, PA. The result is a lush oatmeal mouthfeel balanced with cocoa, roast and subtle coffee flavors.

So get a few Mad Elf’s flowing through your veins, grab the mic at karaoke (immediately following CBN at 8pm), and belt out a tune suitable for the evening’s theme – such as this…

Bear Republic Craft Brew Night at Pickering Creek Inn (6/3)

by Washington Washington

This Thursday, the Pickering Creek Inn is hosting Craft Brew Night from 6-8pm featuring two great brews from Bear Republic: Red Rocket Ale and Crazy Ivan. In addition, there will be a FREE buffet, pint specials, and glassware giveaways per usual.

And now to the brews…

Red Rocket Ale (6.8% abv) – A bastardized Scottish style red ale that traces it’s origins to Bear Republic’s Roots. This full bodied and hoppy brew finishes on the palate with sweet, caramel malt flavors.

Crazy Ivan (6.9% abv) – This copper colored American IPA took a wild left turn when fermented with Trappist ale yeast. Charged with hops, followed closely by a clove and pepper Belgian yeast character.

Some come on out, get all grizzly, and kick out the jams at karoake afterwards!

Stoudt’s Brewing Company Craft Brew Night at Pickering Creek Inn… Free Buffet! (5/20)

by Washington Washington

This Thursday, May 20th at 6pm, the Pickering Creek Inn will host Stoudt’s Brewing Company for Craft Brew Night. There will be three Stoudt’s selections on draft – Double IPA, Fat Dog Stout, Heifer-In-Wheat – and a FREE buffet from 6 till 8pm. Sounds like a great place to watch the FLYERS game, right?

As one of the pioneering craft breweries in America, Stoudt’s Brewing Co. (Adamstown, PA) offers a variety of absolutely incredible lagers and ales. May 17th through 20th also happens to be American Craft Beer Week, so you have no excuses.

The holy trinity of Stoudt’s brews include…

Double IPA (10% abv) – Taste is a good balance of hops and malts, some notes of citrus. Feels full bodied in the mouth and has good drinkability.

Fat Dog Stout (9% abv) – Flavor is quite rich and complex… almost like an imperial stout, but without some of the vinous qualities and a little lower in alcohol. According to BeerAdvocate.com, this beer is no longer brewed.

Heifer-in-Wheat (5% abv) – This is Stoudt’s new summer seasonal beer. Taste starts sweet, a goodly shot of orange in the middle, and closes with a good wheat aftertaste. Mouthfeel is smooth, and drinkability is good as well.

So come on out, get your FLYERS on with some extra-awesome brew from Stoudt’s, and when they win you can do your best Kate Smith at karaoke immediately following the game…
