Your hotel is over by Logan Square so this should help you out if you want to keep with in walking distance. Definitely hit Monks for some moules-frites if you've never been. Lot's of great...

Last week was I had a Victory Uncle Teddy's Bitter & a Great Divide Yeti w/ my wings :rockin: Unfortunately they've been keeping some stuff on regularly that just doesn't do much for me.

Had no problem kicking this keg in short order!
I'm looking for a few folks, local to Central Bucks or with in driving distance of Doylestown, that would be interested in splitting some cases of craft beer.
Send me a PM if you're interested and we can hammer out the details.
I've used it a handful of times and I never got phenolic or twangy from it. My biggest gripe is that it is kind of one dimensional ester profile and doesn't have as much character as a number of the traditional Brit liquid strains.
That's exactly how I described an overpitch of WLP013 I did a little while back....zero esters & absurdly high attenuation for the strain; like the beer was stripped clean.
I use the recipe and technique from Reinhart's book....they come out phenomenal. People have actually asked me to sell them a batch of bagles after trying them:drunk:
