Yards' first-ever lager debuts at Philadelphia Folk Festival this weekend
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Philadelphia Folk Festival. (Check out CP's coverage.) To commemorate the event, Yards has prepared their own barrel(s) of fun — the brewery's first-ever lager, Folk Fest. The 6 percent ABV beer, brewed on Yards' pilot system, uses German malts and Hallertau and Tettnang hops. They produced only six barrels, or a dozen kegs. "We will be pouring the beer at the Folk Fest and only at the Folk Fest," says Yards' director of operations Steve Mashington. "We may keep a keg for the tasting room [in the Philly brewery], but that will be it." So if you want to taste their latest creation (Mashington provided "pretty awesome" as a tasting note), prepare to trip it out to Old Pool Farm. Expect to find a number of the brewery’s signature ales — Philly Pale, Brawler, IPA and ESA — in the festival’s beer garden, as well. Folk Fest tix are available here.
