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…

Survey: Which Pub Crawl Location Is Tops?

by Washington Washington

OK, so there’s another pub crawl this Saturday, but this time there’s actually legit reasoning behind it… Philly Beer Week!

Philly Beer Week is a 10-day series of beer events starting on the first weekend in June in Philadelphia as a celebration of America’s Best Beer-Drinking City. Last year, it featured 674 separate beer events. The Hammer of Glory was used to tap the ceremonial first keg at Opening Tap on March 6, 2009. This year, more than 875 events are scheduled.

So, if you aren’t headed in to the city, where are you going in P-ville?
