I’ve had it in bottle twice now but still not on draught. I’d be curious to taste the difference (if at all).
Leading any panels? Attending what I can around my work schedule.hey kids, i'll be out March 9-12 for Philly Chef Conference, and i'm teaming up with Nicholas Elmi at Royal Boucherie for a beer dinner on Monday the 11th. No details/tix yet, but it should be fun

Oh awesome. I didnt realize that was you on the schedule. That was one of the ones I was looking forward to attending. Im normally the on-call for Mondays so fingers crossed the book wont be too full and I can make it.Yep i'm doing a Beer & Bites and my pseudo philosophy of flavor triangles on the afternoon of the 11th. 3 beers/3 bites (also by Elmi) designed to make your brain go weird, so texture/flavor/sensory changes based on the bite
Did you know that Yards moved a few blocks west in the Fall of 2017 to our new brewery and taproom at 5th and Spring Garden? We took a little hiatus to get settled into the new digs, but now we're ready to bring back our most beloved festival, and it's gonna be bigger than ever.
The Yards 2019 Real Ale Invitational will have 60 cask-conditioned beers from from the latest and greatest Philly area breweries, your favorite American brewers, the OGs from across the Pond, and of course, Yards. Sample as you roam our brewhouse and packaging facility. Jam to live music in our warehouse surrounded by towering walls of kegs, cans, and bottles (selfie opportunities abound). And enjoy hearty British fare in our sunlit, spacious taproom.
All guests will receive a commemorative glass and guide to the day's festivities. All tickets also include food and live music to enjoy throughout the afternoon. Beer is included for regular admission ticket holders only. Tickets will be available at the door for an additional charge if the event does not sell out. (Real Ale has sold out for the last six years, so we don't recommend waiting.) This event will be held rain or shine and guests must be 21+ to attend.
What is real ale?
Cask ale (or real ale) is unfiltered, unpasteurized beer that carbonates naturally inside a cask rather than using nitrogen or carbon dioxide pressure. This brewing method originated in England and Yards helped resurrect the style in Philly over 20 years ago with our Extra Special Ale.
Ok so my hotel room features a welcome bottle of gin from a local distiller, so I guess this is going to be a fun trip.
Where am I eating and drinking today? Ideally I’d like to grab a pork roll egg & cheese and get a picture of the liberty bell for Instagram.

Ok spent almost all of last night at Local 44. Dinic’s Roast Pork for breakfast today, and then coffee at Milkcrate. At Royal Boucherie now for some fancy cocktail reception for conference people. Thinking Han Dynasty for dinner and then over to Underground Arts for The Black Queen show.
Hill and Monks Collab
Anyone know of bottles of Cantillon 20 ans d’ Amitié are still kicking at Monk’s? Was hoping to crack one when I’m in town this weekend.
Not sure, but I may try to stop by tomorrow. If I do, I'll report back.

That's why they closed? That's awful.
edit: Though reading the article, it seems to say the owner of the brewery sold the building? Seems to imply he didn't want the brewery anymore in that case since why else would he sell the building?
ah, yeah, that's actually what happened. though their statements on social media made it seem confusing.
