It's hard to believe that the overachieving Memphis Taproom, that salt-of-the-Earth Port Fishington pub, is only one year old.

Tomorrow at 5 p.m., partners in business and marriage Leigh Maida and Brendan "Spanky" Hartranft will throw open their doors to the rabble who have flocked to the taproom in the last year.� Complimentary bites will be passed around (the kitchen isn't open for the regular menu) and some seriously fly kegs will be tapped -- check out the party list:

  • St. Pieter's Taras Boulba (a house favorite)
  • Schlenkerla Fastenbier
  • Cantillon Vigneronne (a tart lambic with muscat grapes)
  • De Dolle Dulle Teve� (rare on tap; sure to make the beer geeks damp)
  • Bear Republic Racer X (a contender for Best IPA Of The Moment)
  • North Coast Brother Thenlonious
  • PBC Fleur De Lehigh
  • Fuller's ESB
  • Uerige Doppelsticke
  • Sly Fox Instigator
  • Stone Russian Imperial Stout

In order to make room for all these goodies, Memphis is offering deep discounts on draft beer tonight ater 7 p.m. -- so do your part and help them kick the kegs!� Check out your mission-beers on their Web site.

Wednesday, April 22, 5 p.m., Memphis Taproom, 2331 E. Cumberland St., 215-425-4460, memphistaproom.com
