Philly Beer Week highlights
By my count, there are already an amazing 75 separate events listed for Philly Beer Week, March 7-16. That’s better than 10 excuses to drink beer EVERY DAY!
The week is book-ended by several large-scale fests (e.g. Joe Sixpack’s Philly Favorites, Brewer’s Plate, Penn tutored tasting, Real Ale). I thought I’d start highlighting some of the smaller events and specials worth checking out.
Beer for Dessert at XIX (19th floor of The Park Hyatt at The Bellevue, Broad & Walnut). Throughout the week, executive pastry chef Dan Pino presents a special menu that incorporates his favorite brews into sweet creations. On the menu:
- Sticky Toffee Pudding with Malted Weyerbacher Old Heathen Stout Ice Cream;
- Coffee Mascarpone Cream and Brooklyn Brown Braised Pineapple;
- Milk Chocolate Mousse with Red Hook Ale Sorbet, Spiced Mango Cream and Apricot Marmalade;
- Macerated Raspberries with Sly Fox O’Reilly’s Stout foam, Sesame Powder and Shaved Dark Chocolate;
- A selection of beer ice creams and sorbets.
The desserts will be $9 each.
