The Numbers are Right for New Year's Day

Does 20 + 44 = 64 chances at great beer? New Years Day is a true numbers game with 2 big beer events taking place.

Darkness takes over Monk's Cafe with their New Year's Day 20 Stouts on tap. If the darker the beer the better then be there starting at noon.

That's right...20 Stouts on tap. Last year we had six front bar taps pouring great stout and we decided to have all 20 taps pouring stouts to ring in the new year. Here's the lineup: Southern Tier Choklat Imperial Stout (NY), Pennichuck Pozharnik Espresso Russian Imperial Stout (NH), Hitachino Espresso Stout (Japan), Founders Breakfast Stout (MI), Hercule Stout (Belgium), Buffalo Stout (Belgium), Bear Republic Big Bear Stout (CA), Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 2007 & 2008 (NY), Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout (CA), High & Mighty Two Headed Beast Chocolate Stout (MA), Arcadia Imperial Stout (MI), Bell's Cherry Stout (MI), Stoudt's Fat Dog Stout (PA), Boaks Monster Mash Imperial Stout (NJ), New Holland Dragon's Milk Stout (MI), Southampton Espresso Stout (NY), Oscar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout (CO), North Coast Old Rasputin (CA), Legacy Nor'Easter Oatmeal Stout (PA). We open the doors around noon, maybe just a tad later & will serve these until 2AM. As we do every night, our kitchen will be serving our full menu until 1AM. Watch the parade on Broad Street, then come in to warm your innards!

Brendan & Leigh of Memphis Taproom fame open their second establishment, Local 44, located at 44th and Spruce in West Philadelphia. The doors open at 5pm and as you would expect the draft list is a good one. Normal hours, 11:30am-2:00am, start on Friday along with the full menu. The kitchen serves until midnight.
