Beer Radar

Linda  Carpenter, the wife of Yards Brewing’s Tom Kehoe, was sworn into office yesterday as a Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge. You might remember that it was Carpenter who advertised her candidacy on pint glasses distributed to taverns throughout the city - a novel campaign idea that caught caught the eye of state Supreme Court Justice James J. Fitzgerald.

In remarks during the swearing-in ceremony, Fitzgerald quipped that the pint glass ads “warmed my heart. That’s truly reaching the electorate!”

After the ceremony (Ellen Ceisler and Mike Erdos were also robed), several hundred in attendance enjoyed Yards in the mayor’s reception room at City Hall.
