    I'd like to go to the Real Ale Festival if they still have it - it's been at Yards in March the past few years. Gonna be tough to work that out though.

    Dont think that one is scheduled yet. I was supposed to do the Philly Beer Fest but I think I may try and do these other two. Both looks pretty sweet.

    Might have to hold off until the June beer week - it's tough to get home wasted and take care of a 1 1/2 yr old & 4 month old. :lol:

    From Flying Fish e-mail:
    Out this Month: Red Fish
    Well, we tried naming this beer Scarlet Fever, but the Feds wouldn't approve it because it's also the name of a disease. Since we're plumb out of time and other great name ideas, we're calling this West Coast hoppy red ale, Red Fish. The 3 C's: Columbus, Chinook and Cascade hops give the beer a robust piney nose. Two-row, crystal and cara-red malts give the beer a malty background and a 7% abv.

    Nobody does. Some just don't want to harp on it every day for 6 straight years.

    I am obsessed. The fact that he's not a good player combined with him being insanely overpaid drives me absolutely crazy.

    Dude, I am interested in these. Let me know if you're gonna hit them.

    We used to do the Royal Stumble at Nodding Head and the Manyunk Beer Festival every year. Haven't been to one of these in years. They are always a good time. Nothing better than walking out of there completely shitfaced...just in time to head to happy hour :D

    more amaro magic. apparently the phils don't get a first round pick for madson.


    'It appears the Phillies weren’t so lucky, and instead will now receive the pick before the Reds second round pick, as well as a sandwich pick. The sandwich pick will be in the 30s, and the pick from the Reds will likely be #72. That’s a bummer.'



    so rather than keeping madson at a reasonable rate (and their first round pick), the phils now have no first rounder and papelbon for 5 years at a ridiculous salary. perfect

    All we can do is hope for the best. Maybe he will rehab into something resembling what he was 2005-09 (minus the fielding, which was much improved the past 2 years).

    i thought you lived in the city?

    i've got an iron hill right near me and have been to the one in west chester a bunch of times.

    to me it's just okay. the beers are decent but the food is way overpriced imo

    I don't know, dudes - I think Iron Hill sucks balls. Same for McKenzie's.

    Johnny, looks like a new brew pub is opening up in Ardmore called Tired Hands. Might be interesting.

    The one in Frazer - or is it Malvern? - has been around a while, as well as the one down 202 near the border of Delaware. So those two I can vouch for - they blow; way overrated.

    It's just that the suburbs flat out suck and people hope for anything that looks mildly promising because everything's shit. Victory's spot and that Craft Ale House near you are definitely worth the trips though. Flying Pig in Malvern too(not as much the food, but the shit load of different beers).
