For those of you who haven’t seen that big ass banner on Bridge Street, the Phoenixville Pub Crawl is happening this Saturday March 13th from 1-5pm. Aside from the banner, there’s a website devoted to the event, a grassroots marketing campaign (postcards in bars), and various other attention grabbing mechanisms… So what does this all mean???
It means that Phoenixville knows how to party, dammit!
Where else is excessive mid-day drinking so heartily encouraged? I mean, other towns host pub crawls (such as Manayunk, etc), but they aren’t advertised and promoted like this one is… And they aren’t as organized either.
It’s a great thing that the local bars all came together on this, as they should all do a ton of business on this day. Each location will be will be offering a different micro brew(s)… here’s the rundown and my personal preferred crawl order:
Sly Fox Brewery – Sly Fox Beer
Epicurean – Ithaca, Lagunitas, Spring House
PJ Ryan’s – Longtrail
Bistro on Bridge – Heavy Seas, Rogue, Brooklyn Brewery
Molly Maguire’s – Victory, Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale
Iron Hill Brewery – Iron Hill Beer
Baxter’s 101 Bridge – Stoudts Brewery
Pickering Creek Inn – Founders, Weyerbacher, Cigar City
Of course there are more bars in Phoenixville, the bars above are only the ones that chose to participate. These additional bars could easily be worked into your crawl (see our story, Pub Crawlin’ Comes a-Callin’ This Thanksgiving Eve).
Have fun, rock hard, and be safe!
