As the sippable obsession with American craft beer continues to grow, so does the desire for drinkers to dive deep into the educational process of how it was developed.
Luckily for local enthusiasts, Phoenixville is home to two highly-considered microbreweries, Sly Fox Brewing Company and Iron Hill Brewery, but that does not mean that curious consumers want to conclude their liquid knowledge with what only slips into their zip code.
Phil Maniscalco, General Manager of Pickering Creek Inn on Bridge Street, strives to assist passionate, local hop-infused heads by offering his Craft Brew Nights every other Thursday. As an evening affair that is themed around a featured craft brewery, Maniscalco invites the local community to become captivated by some of the country’s best beers without having to travel to their territory.
“If scheduling allows, a representative from the brewery or their distributor sometimes attend,” he revealed. “But, I always have pint specials and almost always have giveaway items.”
The next Craft Brew Night is Thurs., July 29 at 6 p.m. featuring great beer selections from San Diego, California. Amidst a free buffet from 6 to 8 p.m. and various beer specials, Maniscalco plans to include within the evening Ballast Point Brewing Co. and Coronado Brewing Co.
