Festina Peche lands in Philly
Filed Under: Booze
It's the most wonderful time of the year, at least for drunks like us: This year's Festina Peche, Dogfish Head's inconceivably delicious seasonal "neo Berliner Weisse" brewed with puréed peaches, has finally infiltrated Philly six-pack stores and beer bars. Above, Dogfish founder Sam Calagione discusses 2010's Peche, which is slightly less pucker-up tart than last year's batch.
Both City Tap House (3925 Walnut St.) and Ladder 15 (1528 Sansom St.) will be tapping kegs of the stuff today, and fellow pecheheads have mentioned to us that it's currently pouring at Kraftwork (Girard and Montgomery) and Standard Tap (Second and Poplar), too. Holler in the comments if/when you see it other places.
Strangely, we first became obsessed with this beer sidled up to a bar quite far from the tri-state: Last fall, during a trip to Portland, Maine, the entire staff of the excellent bar/restaurant Local 188 declared it their prime fermented obsession. It took us just one pint to agree, but we ended up having 10 or so more to confirm.
Food and Friends (20th and Spruce) has four packs. I noticed that this year's brew doesn't seem to have the peach sediment at the bottom of the bottle like last year's. Still packs a punch, though!
Nice Tim! I should also mention: Got a four-pack at Latimer Deli last night. And have also been told it's floating around at Sidecar, Hawthornes and Brew/Ultimo Coffee.

Got a growler at Hawthornes on Wednesday nite and it was nice nice.
I love festina peche, it will get me through the next week of 90-degree days. I plan on buying a case at Springfield Beer distributor, they're selling it in the $37-a-case range.
[...] Dogfish Head’s Festina Peche is all over Philly and we are very happy. [...]
on tap at alfa! @ 1709 walnut st.
