Southeastern PA - news, releases, updates, etc. (2022)

Well that's good to hear. I'll be content to look for Oktoberfest on draft and hope for Pils and Fat Dog Stout in cans.

 

Kind of an odd partner for Stoudts to be in bed with

I don’t read any of the same strife into that… they’ve had Hill on at various points in time since then (maybe not “more often than not, but probably close to 50/50 at least”).

 

You could be right about Monk's take on the situation... I have no clue, I just didn't read it the same way you did, especially given that they've been happy to tap Hill stuff (and I believe have highlighted their Hill tappings on social media).

Given that they've promoted Hill pretty recently and regularly do charity giveaways like this one, my take is that you're simply reading into it too much (again, I could be mistaken).

And I can only speak for myself, but I don't treat the Broillet and Hill situations as equal -- it has nothing to do with one brewing better beer than the other, but with being far more reluctant to support Tired Hands given their accusations than I am to support Hill given his accusations.

 

ESB -

 

I'm probably just not in the know in this regard, I'm just a little surprised Monk's will be selling " take away" bottles... been a while since I been to the city I guess...

 

Brief update... I saw today that they made yet another post dedicated to all the Hill they have on-tap and available to-go, with a photo of Hill Farmstead with a rainbow over it.

I totally understand your original wondering, but think it's probably safe to say that they aren't embarrassed of / critical of carrying Hill's offerings, here.

And 6 ABC did a segment on Sterling Pig and Human Robot. She focuses more on the food in her segments but worth checking out:

I have had several meals at Sterling Pig and my experiences is that the food can be 'hit or miss'. In contrast the beers have consistently been of high quality (even the styles which are not my favorites).

At my last visit to Sterling Pig my wife and I just had a couple of beers there and then traveled into town (Media) to get pizza at Pinocchio's (which has an outstanding selection of packaged beers but a bit pricey).

Cheers!

 

Has anyone had Forest & Main's Forever Nothing Pub Ale? I just added it and posted a review, but I wasn't sure about the right style categorization.

I am curious how others would classify this beer?

 

Just opened a bottle of Tired Hands Decade Imperial Stout and it has gotten somewhat tart. Anyone else experience this? Bummer.

 

Lost Planet in Royersford and Mystic Ways in Perkasie are now open.

 

Tom,

Have you had any of their beers from 'preliminary' batches? Do they have a 'theme' to their brewing (e.g., German style, Belgian style,...)?

Cheers!

Jack

 

The only "theme" I could determine was the focus on IPAs, but most places are like that these days. They started off with 9 beers. the afore mentioned Vienna, Pils, grissette, and hazy "IPA". They also had a Hefeweizen, a fruited sour and IPAs. Might be missing something. Limited food menu with an emphasis on pizzas. I typed out some more info in the Mid-Atlantic Breweries in Planning forum.

 

Yes, IPA is 'king' these days.

Cheers!

 

Been to Mystic Ways twice now, including opening night. Big fan

 

They do not do their own food but you can bring in outside food if you want.

Please excuse the nature of this post as I’m not on IG or FaceBook. Did Free Will announce ralphius 2022 day? Is it Black Friday again?

Conshohocken Brewing closing Havertown location

I wonder who they are handing it over to?

 

I wonder if Glen Macnow will discuss this closing on his TV show What's Brewing?

Cheers!

 

Anyone ever been to Conshohocken Brewing before or have thoughts to share on their KOP location/beer? My wife won a (pretty sizable) gift card there randomly some time ago, and we somehow haven't made the time to visit... but obviously I'd like to make the trip there soon.
