| Your breakfast for the marathon |
Thirteen-year-olds are an awkward lot. Unlike most freshly minted teenagers, who generally want to disappear into a hole until the day they can get their license, The Grey Lodge Pub is celebrating their 13th birthday with the �lan of a far more sophisticated teen � one who possesses his older brother's ID and an insatiable craving for cask beer.
On Saturday, August 15th, starting at 11 a.m., the Lodge will throw themselves a party of epic proportions. Every hour will kick off another event, featuring another brewery, another game, another live band � you get the idea. Authors and brewery reps will sign books and body parts, hand out prizes and hold forth. Scoats, Lodge cellarmaster and evil genius behind this bacchanalia, will preside. Highlights:
11 a.m.-noon: Dock Street Triskaidekaphilia (possibly translating to "love of 13") was brewed especially for Grey Lodge's anniversary. For $8, you get half a liter of the local dunkel weisse, two ente wurst (duck sausages) and a soft pretzel.
1 p.m.: Beat Philadelphia Brewing's Chris or Dean at 101 darts to win Philadelphia Brewing Co. T-shirts; their new 6.2 percent ABV Amarillo-hopped Mayfair IPA will be on a gravity-pour firkin.� CP assistant Copy Editor Carolyn Wyman, author of The Great Philly Cheesesteak Book, will be on hand to sign copies of her masterpiece.
2 p.m.: Compare and contrast two vintages (2008, 2009) of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, a bomber with no chocolate in it at all.� Brooklyn brewmaster Garrett Oliver suggested this be paired with chicken mole over rice, so it will be.
4 p.m.: Victory Pils and Phils (wear your Phillies gear to get Victory pint glasses) and really old Old Horizontal. Scoats squirreled away a case of Victory's killer barleywine and is breaking out his 1997 vintage stash for the Phillies game.
5 p.m.: Putting the bar in bar mitzvah will be Grey Lodge's reigning Beer Geek, Steve Hawk, who will read some Hebrew before passing out cake. Pin the yarmulke on the (paper) Steve Hawk for prizes.
10 p.m.: It's Always Sunshine-y at the Grey Lodge: Dress up as the Green Man and definitely win a T-shirt; re-enact scenes from everyone's favorite loser bar-owner slapstick show for prizes; It's Always Sunny trivia contest. Also, a special keg of Keller Tr�egs Sunshine Pils and Tr�egs Naked Elf on draft.
11 p.m.: Have you ever wanted to wear a traffic cone on your head and allow strangers to attempt to chuck rings onto it? Flying Fish head brewer Casey Hughes has! Flying Fish Exit 11 on draft and Exit 4 in bottles.
