BREW REVUE: Christmas (beer) in July
 |
| BeerLabels.com |
| A Christmas beer for all seasons. |
Two noted Philadelphia beer bars have been sitting on kegs of benchmark Christmas ales for the last six months, biding their time for the sticky summer day when they can crank the AC and swill some serious brews.
Bridgid's, in Fairmount, will tap at least one holiday keg every Friday afternoon, the identity of which they will reveal on their Twitter just prior. In the lineup: Corsendonk Christmas, St. Bernardus Christmas, Affligiem Noel, Delirium Noel and� Brasserie Dupont Avec Les Bons Veux, as well as local cult favorite Mad Elf from Tr�egs.
Brasserie Dupont Avec Les Bons Veux, which means "with warmest wishes," is unlike other holiday beers in that it is not dark. It is instead a burnished golden-orange and rich in peppery hops in the traditional saison style, and most appropriate any time of year.
Grey Lodge Pub goes a step further, tapping all of their cellared goodies in one blowout event tomorrow. At 6 p.m., Friday, July 10, Mike "Scoats" Scotese will unleash Tr�egs Mad Elf, Rogue Santa�s Private Reserve, and Corsendonk Christmas, among other seasonal beers.� The Grey Lodge extends even more holiday spirit, throwing in a free Christmas treat from Hesh's Bakery with the purchase of any entr�e.
Lift a hearty toast to that fictional, generous fat man whose existence lets us drink cheering high-gravity brews not once, but twice a year.
Bridgid's Christmas in July, each Friday in July (7/10, 7/17, 7/24, 7/31), 726 N. 24th St., 215-232-3232, bridgids.com
Grey Lodge Christmas in July, Fri., July 10, 6 p.m., 6235 Frankford Ave., 215-825-5357, greylodge.com
