Duck-Rabbit rolls out in Philly

Lots of drunks like to wax philosophical over fine brews, but precious few know what the hell they're talking about.ï¿½ Now you can get learned in the pub when The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery'sï¿½ all-dark beer line is rolled out in Philadelphia this week.

The logo of the North Carolina outfit was inspired by brewer Paul Philippon's former life as a university philosophy teacher.ï¿½ A version of the duck-rabbit diagram, which looks like a duck or rabbit depending on the viewer's perspective, appears in Philosophical Investigations by Ludwig Wittgenstein, a philosophy book Philippon admires.

Locals will get a chance to acquaint themselves with the fruits of Philoppon's second career at a host of samplings at locations across the suburbs and city.ï¿½ï¿½ Duck-Rabbit's Brown Ale, Amber Ale, Porter and Milk Stout are now available at select bars, including Monk's Cafe, Capone's, Grey Lodge and The Sidecar, as well as at the 2nd St. Foodery.ï¿½ Find out where you can be the first to taste these new beers, after the jump.
