Resurrection Ale House Announces New Chef ...and Third Anniversary Bash!
"We're basically killing it." That's Resurrection Ale House's (2425 Grays Ferry Ave.) Leigh Maida on the bottled beer list, one of several changes coming to the Gray's Ferry gastropub. Aside from "five-to-six must-have bottles" (a gluten-free option, some precious vintages, Orval and Resurrection Ale from Brewer's Art), the beer program is going all draught, all the time.
"Without bottle sales and inventory to have to worry about so much we can focus on really changing up at super speeds," Maida says. "We can also afford to bring in more esoteric drafts, if we're not so tightly committed to an esoteric bottle list. It's kind of exciting because it makes the user experience more in line with the kind of varied/adventurous beer drinking we like to see -- it never seems to be as big of a deal for someone to pull the trigger on a beer they've never had or heard of it it's on draft, versus a pricier bottle."
There's an Allagash tap takeover planned for Resurrection's third anniversary (Sept. 26), after which drinkers can expect to see Leipziger Gose (Belgian gueuze's German cousin), JW Lees Moonraker Zymatore (a verbose English strong ale) and plenty of other unusual pours. This will coincide with a fresh menu from recently promoted chef Rhett Vellner, who's taken over for NYC-bound Joe Chmiko. Stay tuned to Meal Ticket for the menu. Here's hoping there will be fried chicken.
