The right tool for the right job

Don Russell, aka Joe Sixpack, is one of the founding fathers of Philly Beer Week.   One day, our children will take their first sip of Pennsylvania-brewed craft beer and raise a glass in homage to his munificent foresight.  Much like Thor had his golden hammer, the local beer gods have been delivered a tool for the ages.  Behold The Keg Hammer of Glory, via Don's blog Beer Radar.

The right tool for the right job

Don Russell, aka Joe Sixpack, is one of the founding fathers of Philly Beer Week.   One day, our children will take their first sip of Pennsylvania-brewed craft beer and raise a glass in homage to his munificent foresight.  Much like Thor had his golden hammer, the local beer gods have been delivered a tool for the ages.  Behold The Keg Hammer of Glory, via Don's blog Beer Radar.

The hammer will be reverently transported to Opening Tap by a team of (hopefully burly) marathon runners, and used to ram the bung into the inaugural cask. Still no word on who is worthy enough to wield this Tool of Legend; last year it was Mike Nutter.
