Beer Business at SPTR
Beer events a-brewing at South Philly Tap Room!
Beer Business at SPTR
You know what we love about the South Philadelphia Tap Room (1900 S. 15th St.) (besides the lovable Scott Schroeder of course)? The Newbold pub has some of the best beer events in town, and like the fun, unpretentious, seasonal and well seasoned cooking, they never brag or boast of make a very big deal about them. To wit: a plainspoken, unfussy email about a three events beer lovers should know about.
They start as soon as today with Founders going on heavy rotation on the taps to kick off the season for their beguiling Breakfast Stout. Anyone who's been to the annual Beer Week Founders Dinner knows the romance between SPTR and Founders is long-standing, resulting in some rare and one-offs making their way from Grand Rapids, MI, to South Philly. One that's being tapped today at 4 p.m. is the hazelnut ale Frangelic Mountain Brown, a beer so limited that customers at the brewery were only allowed one growler fill when it premiered in July.
Luc Van Mechelen, AKA Bobo, national sales ambassador for Chimay, drop into SPTR on Thursday, October. 10 for "Eat and Drink Like a Belgian, with a Belgian." Red, White and Blue will flow, while Schroeder severs up Flemish stew, a beef/mushroom/onion/caraway set-up made with Chimay Blue, starting at 6 p.m. "Bobo takes a toasted whole wheat bread with Dijon mustard and puts the mustard side face down in the stew until it dissolves as a thickening agent," Schroeder explains.
The Netherlands visit next, on Monday, October. 15., with La Trappe exporter Erwin Klijn and Artisanal Imports founder Lanny Hoff. Bartenders will be pouring Isi'dor, White, Dubbel and Quad; order any and you get a free, fancy La Trappe glass you won't have to steal.
