https://www.facebook.com/MillCreekBrewingCo a friend of mine is getting his tap room up and running....
I'm pretty excited about this: http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/ne...dogfish-head-brewery-musselmans-and-delaware- Dogfish Head Brewery will introduce Philadelphia Union fans to a new destination beer garden at PPL Park in 2015. Additional partnership elements include: in-stadium branding and entitlement of the “Off-centered Fan of the Match,” where one lucky fan at each home game will win a Union/Dogfish Head prize pack.
Stocked up with some local seasonal/holiday beers, getting all nice and chilly for the Christmas festivities. Sly Fox Christmas Ale Tröegs Mad Elf Evil Genius Naughty or Nice
For the first time got Pliny the Elder. Lived up to the hype excellent IPA. Wasn't able to make it to the Younger tap. But what I enjoyed more the the Elder was the Damnation Russian Rivers Belgian strong Pale Ale, very tasty
"Guinness is well known for their habit of standing by the troops in desperate times. When World War I broke out, Guinness promised every one of their workers who went off to war that he would have his job waiting for him when he came home. Guinness even paid half of the man’s salary to his family while he was away to help support them. Guinness only grew this trend of support by the time the second World War broke out. Then, Guinness promised every British soldier that he would have a bottle of the famous dark stout for Christmas Day. So ambitious was that task that retirees came to the plant to help brew. Veterans then joined in, and finally other brewing companies sent workers over to help brew the Christmas beer. It’s been called one of the greatest moments of unity in Irish history. Those that stayed with Guinness through the Great Depression were also granted on site medical and dental care (as well as massage therapy). There were gymnasiums, athletic leagues, reading rooms, and even scholarships available. For those that died in the war, the company paid their full pension, helped with funeral expenses, and even paid for their child’s education. Oh, and on top of all of this, those who served in the war were granted two free pints a day."
for me its way over rated. For an IPA I prefer Julius from Treehouse or Captain's daughter from Grey Sail
