Philly Beer Week

It’s Philly Beer Week!  Hooray!  So much to do, so much to do…beer gardens, block parties, a luau, even a carnival!  So no matter how you take your beer, there’s an event for you this week.  Let’s see, what to order?  Here are some suggestions from local breweries:



Kilty Pleasure Scotch Ale by Philadelphia Brewing exhibits a subtle aroma of vanilla and boasts a rich six-malt body tempered by heather and hops.  Mmmmm.



The Preppy-03X by Funtasma is a kilty pleasure, all right!  The beautiful red plaid outer is very similar to that on the beer label, but this is topped with a black patent leather bow at the peep toe.  The heel is four inches, and an inch-high platform finishes the shoe.  Yours for $47 from Overstock.



In Troegs’ constant evolution as a brewery, they’ve developed an undying drive to meld the organic and the mechanical.  Perpetual IPA utilizes their hopback and dry-hopping to engineer a bold Imperial Pale Ale.  It features Bravo, Chinook and Mt. Hood hops in the boil, Mt. Hood and Nugget hops in the hopback, and is further dry-hopped with Citra and Cascade hops.



The organic and the mechanical meet in the Morgana by Hades—fur and machine.  It’s sort of steampunk-fabulous, isn’t it?  Four buckles at crazy angles up the sides, a beautiful metal-worked heel (five inches tall), tufts of brown fur all over… everywhere you look it’s something different.  Find them at Greater Medical for $163.


  
One of my favorites—Lancaster Milk Stout!  As one of few surviving examples the traditional English Sweet Stout, they are pleased to offer a dark ale bursting with roasted barley dryness, mellowed by addition with off non-fermentable lactose sugar, providing a minimal sweetness.



Moooo!  The Cow Print Pony Hair Slipper is just that: a smoking slipper in pony fabric, printed like cow hide.  It’s trimmed in black around the foot opening, and you can’t see it in this photo but there’s a stripe of red trim up the back of the ankle too, for a pop of color.  Yours for $340 from Del Toro.

 Cheers to all!  Happy Beer Week!
