So I saw this popping up FB and didnt read the article because thought it was just trolling. This is great.
The handfull of times I've gone, which have been around opening, there have been no more than 8 people inside, including the members of my group. Unless something has drastically changed in the couple of months since I last visited, it is likely to be very mellow.So what's the deal with Fermentary Form? If I go tomorrow at open, is it likely to be a ********, or is it pretty mellow?
Can I hypothetically have a beer or two, then make it over to CBP for first pitch at 4:05?

Thanks! If you (or anybody) have a suggestion for a lunch spot nearby as well that would be super helpful. I was gonna go to Memphis Taproom, but it's their anniversary, so I'm guessing that could be kind of crazy. If there's a spot that would be a better use of my time, and maybe not so crowded, that would be outstanding.
I'm going to miss all of Philly Beer Week this year and I don't actually care that much. There are very few worthwhile events nowadays and they are always horrendously crowded. I'm always so disappointed I missed the heyday of beer week back in 2007 -2009. The days when Hawthornes was selling growlers of Apple Brandy Hunahpu.
That and I'm not sure there were even other beer weeks in the country. So many breweries used to bring awesome stuff here because they wanted to show off. Now they mostly just stay local.Also 10 years ago there were only like 10 breweries actually in the Philly area. There are so many now I would have to do some serious research to name them all.
anyone going to the event at Monks on Sunday?
I may go, but probably won’t get there till later around dinner time.anyone going to the event at Monks on Sunday?

Dominoes would've saved Jack.
Will be at that show. Not sure what my tailgating plans are but PM me if you are doing anything pre-show.Hi Philly dudes. I'll be in the city Friday and Saturday before the pixies\weezer concert Saturday in camden. Anyone around to drink some beers?
Okay, let's do a LIF for this trip! I will be traveling from August 10th through August 20th with this schedule:
Fly into Philadelphia
Drive from Philadelphia to
Pittsburgh
Columbus/Dayton
Detroit
Grand Rapids
Cleveland
Back to Philadelphia.
I'm picking up the rental from the Philadelphia train station if you really want to get nitpicky.
Here is the lif. Guess the total number of miles traveled on my rental car during my trip. Closest number wins even if it's higher. If for some wacky reason there is a tie, the tiebreaker is the total number of stamps gained in my National Park passport. Entries will be accepted up until August 9th. Winner gets a box of whatever beer is in my fridge at home.
Feel free to add your best Midwest gif.
Would like too, gotta see if I can get a sitter and sneak out today, what time you going down?anyone going to Monks for Zwanze tomorrow? i'll be there!

My wife booked a beer tour in Philly for my birthday. Here's the list I can choose from. Which 4 would you recommend?
Yards Brewing Co
Evil Genius Beer Company
Flying Fish Brewing Co
Double Nickel Brewing Co
Dock Street Brewery
Roy Pitz Barrel House
Love City Brewing Co.
Fishtown Brewpub
Lunacy Brewing
St. Benjamin Brewing Co
Brauhaus Schmitz
Red Brick Distillery
Eclipse Brewing
I live near all those places and tonewood, tired hands, and forest and main are the only ones I actually visit.
Also if yards is on the table, second district is probably an option. Solid food and beer there.
Are you only hitting breweries? I’d also consider some of the South Philly bars....Fountain porter, SPTR...
I guess my main point is that it’s sort of a shame to come into Philly for a beer tour and drink a bunch of the average local beer and not all of the great beer we have at our disposal every day.
edit: Basically, nothing is done that makes this like lambic, but sure whatever call it lambic. Just say it's a sour beer or American Wild Ale.Though the result is what Tripp calls “lambic-inspired,” he takes some major departures from how lambic is produced in Belgium when formulating his own beers. “We don’t do a turbid mash,” he says, referring to the traditional first step of lambic production in Belgium, “and we do not spontaneously inoculate.” Instead, the wort is pitched with a house mixed culture that Tripp has been propagating for nearly a decade now. “I was a pretty ambitious homebrewer and we’ve had multiple wine barrels going in multiple locations for several years,” he says, explaining how a year-old brewery has a decade-old culture.
“I’m not into being very descriptive,” he says. “I feel like if people want to know, they can find out by talking to us. And if they pick it up at random and are curious, that’s fine. But if they don’t understand, then it’s probably not for them.”
An article about fermentery form from Punch.

Came across this article in Punch today about fermentery form today.

I’m more surprised they chose to write up this brewery as opposed to any others who are doing house cultured AWAs or really an American brewery that is brewing in the lambic style.I'm not a purist by any means, but it's hilarious they are trying to call it "American Lambic" and yet have a paragraph like this:

edit2: It's more an annoyance at the author to me. It just makes him sound like a dummy.
