“He buried that beer…!”
Phillies fans know Andy Musser’s greatest call came on Oct. 4, 1980, the day the Phils clinched the division on an 11th-inning home run by Mike Schmidt against Stan Bahnsen and the Montreal Expos. His second-greatest call?
It might come on July 1st when the former Phillies announcer, now Anchor Brewing’s rep in these parts, makes a guest appearance at Jose Pistola’s (263 S. 15th St., Center City). It’s part of a month-long celebration of American beer at the Center City tavern. Word is that Musser will be doing play-by-play of publicans Casey Parker & Joe Gunn behind the bar.
Casey’s at the tap… here’s the pour… deep into the pint glass… it’s foaming, it’s foaming, it’s foaming… it’s all over the bar! Casey strikes out.
Or something like that.
The rest of the month’s events:
- July 10 - Lobster bake with Allagash from Maine.
- July 16 - Blue Point oysters with Blue Point beer from Long Island.
- July 22 - All-Star game with dollar dogs and Ommegang from Cooperstown.
