Hill Farmstead Brewery in Philly

  
Good afternoon Philadelphia. Today yet another new brewery is debuting beer in the area. Hill Farmstead Brewery out of Northern Vermont launches at Capone's with Edward Pale Ale and Harlan IPA.  The rest of taps will of course flow with a fine selection of hoppy and malty goodness.  11:30am start, PAYG and the brewery rep will be talking beer 7-9pm.


(A few words from the brewery site)
Edward goes to Philadelphia…

I’m not sure if my grandfather ever made it to Philadelphia (I have a lurking suspicion that he probably didn’t make it much further south than Connecticut…) but the beer that is now his namesake, our American Pale Ale, is en route to Philadelphia. This is our first shipment of beer outside of the Vermont marketplace (our next shipment to Denmark will leave at the end of July) and the entire shipment of 38 kegs is sold out before it even hits the city. Look for our beer at some of the following (but look quickly, because each place only received 5 gallons of beer…) :

For example: Monk’s Cafe, Memphis Taproom, Capone’s, Craft Ale House, Devil’s Den, Earth Bread + Brewery, Grey Lodge, Eulogy, Local 44, Teresa’s… and so forth.
