Monk's Cafe in Philadelphia

available in person at monks cafe when tickets go on sale
or get tickets over the phone when tickets go on sale (probably need to give credit card info for this)
i know the dinner you speak of, these tickets will sell out quick
the website may be down, because they are updating it, keep your eyes peeled sharp.

 

Gotta go to the bar itself on Monday morning, they haven't done online sales in the past.

 

The way I was reading the announcement, to me it seemed you had to go there..

 

I would, but I'm heading out of town this weekend and won't be able to make the date anyway.

They said "well have special beers on tap" that morning.. As a way to "double down"

 

They typically only sell over the phone once everyone in line monday morning is taken care of.

 

Is there any information on the tap list available yet, or is it just a safe bet that it will be excellent?

 

Does anyone know what time the tickets go on sale on Monday, and the date of the dinner?

I love Tomme Arthur. His beers are inventive, richly developed and definitely come from his soul.
Tomme said that Vince might also be coming out for this dinner. Vince and his sister own the brewery. über cool guy, too.

We'll have some of Tomme's most sought after beers, some of my favorites, and some of Tomme's favorites, all paired with an equally inventive menu. I'm already excited about this dinner.

Here is what Tomme wants to send out for the dinner:

Cuvée de Tomme (approx 11%abv)

brown ale made with barley, raisins, candi sugar & sour cherries.

ages in used bourbon barrels w/the sour cherries for at least one year

Tomme adds Brettanomyces to those barrels for the secondary fermentation


Duck Duck Gooze (approx 7%abv)

a blend of young and old barrel aged beers.

made in very small quantities & released once every three years



Framboise de Amorosa 2012 (approx 7%abv)

barrel aged raspberry sour ale



Serpents Stout aged in MaCallan barrels (approx 11%abv)

this was a special batch as their employee christmas beer


We'll also be serving three additional beers.

 

Same here.. no luck. If anyone needs to sell their tickets due to scheduling issues or has 2 to burn, shoot me a PM.

 

Any idea what the final list was for this event, just curious.
