Big Wood Weekend at Standard Tap

POSTED: Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 9:19 PM


Standard Tap (901 North 2nd Street) has got some Big Wood for Philly Beer Weekend. No, it's nothing dirty, just a chance for beer geeks to try a bevy of barrel-aged and wood-smoked brews.

"These are more tasting beers, rather than taking the whole pint and chugging it down," says bar manager Ron Johnson. "All the beer geeks should know what these are."

Beers will be sold in flights, as there is a limited supply, which is all the more reason to start drinking early. Word is Flying Fish head brewer Casey Hughes will also be bringing a surprise beer.

Even better news: if you've got a ticket for the Craft Beer Express (booze bus running to eight different bars all day Sat.), you can hitch a ride to Standard Tap every half hour from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Click the jump for the full list of brews on offer at Big Wood Weekend.
