Philly Beer Week 2023 Events

Here we are smack dab in the middle of Philly Beer Week 2023. I will have posts later this week about the Hammer of Glory Relay last Friday, and Logjammin' last Saturday.

There's still loads of Philly Beer Week fun left. The full calendar of events is here: http://www.phillylovesbeer.com/copy-of-submit

Here are three that caught my eye:

Monk’s Cafe - freak folk bier Visitation - 5:00 PM

Monk's Cafe is proud to introduce Ryan and Lillian of freak folk bier in Waterbury, Vermont to beer savvy Philadelphians at at 5pm on Tuesday, June 6. After reading an article about their just-opened brewery, I sent an email asking if I could swing by to chat. Ryan said he had a malt delivery coming at 9 AM the next day, so I offered to help him unload the truck. The delivery was running late and I left before it arrived. Whew! Ryan showed me his setup and we tasted a few of his beers, which were all well made. He climbed up to his storage loft to grab a couple of bottles for me to take with me. Those were shared with my coworkers and they were all blown away by the beer. This is such a small brewery and we are honored that Ryan and Lillian are willing to share a bit of their small production with us. Enjoy! ~Tom Peters

Friday in Oberpfalz Part 1, & the Zoigl Star: Zoigl Trip - Part 7 of 13

This post is part of a 13 part series, if you want to start from the beginning, click here . Friday in Oberpfalz Part 1, & the Zoigl Star Zoigl Trip - Part 7 of 13 Finally, after an appetizer of Munich posts, here's what you have (hopefully) been waiting for. Our D-bahn tickets gave us free metro rides in Munich for the day, but Billy and I were up early and had way more than enough time, so we hoofed it to Hauptbahnhof, the central train station. Being a true professional, Rich had our day fully scheduled out. We arrived early at the platform to get good seats on the Alex RE2 train, which did indeed fill up. We scored a set of four seats facing each other, and the almost two hour ride passed quickly and jollily. We got off at Wiesau, where we were to catch Bus 6276 to Waldhausen. The train and bus schedules were both a little out of whack that day and the station was under construction. After some confusion and running with baggage, we were on the...

Friday in Zoigl County Part 2, including Visiting a Communal Brewhouse, & the Zoigl Beer “Style” Zoigl Trip - Part 8 of 13

This post is part of a 13 part series, if you want to start from the beginning, click here . Friday in Zoigl County Part 2, including Visiting a Communal Brewhouse, & the Zoigl Beer “Style” Zoigl Trip - Part 8 of 13 We had a little time to settle into our rooms before we were to meet Ferdl at 6pm, for a tour of the Kommunbrauhaus (sometimes translating German into English is easy) in Windischeschenbach. Ferdl is a lifelong resident of Upper Palatinate (aka Oberpfalz). Rich and Ferdl met when the tours they were each leading crossed paths. Ferdl, now a very vigorous 70something, did some brewing earlier in life. Ferdl borrowed the brewhouse key from someone in town. The tour of the communal brewhouse was a true highlight of the trip. Sometimes it really helps to know people who know people who know people. Stepping into the brewhouse was like stepping back in time, while also being firmly in the present, and the future since they don’t fix what a...

Saturday in Zoigl County Part 1: Falkenberg and Hiking the Goldsteig Zoigl Trip - Part 9 of 13

This post is part of a 13 part series, if you want to start from the beginning, click here . Saturday in Zoigl County Part 1: Falkenberg and Hiking the Goldsteig Zoigl Trip - Part 9 of 13 I was really sick at this point. The night before I suggested that maybe I should skip the hike but Rich encouraged me to do it, so I was in. And I’m glad he did. Gear for the hike. I was ready for any weather condition. More tissues would have been useful. We were up early for breakfast at the hotel. Ferdl would be picking us up at 9:30am to drive us to Falkenberg. Ferdl is German, so 9:30am really means 9:15am. Rich, Billy, and I are all prompt people so it wasn’t a problem. There used to be a bus between Windischeschenbach and Falkenberg but it was discontinued, so Rich arranged for Ferdl to give us a ride to Falkenberg. Unfortunately Ferdl would not be able to join us for any portion of the day as he was busy with a martial arts event. It really was a missed opportuni...
