Thought gruit was a misspelling of fruit. Boy was I wrong and can't wait to taste it. Looking at the lineup I see some delicious combinations and some bordering on sacrilege. See you next Saturday, I'll be the guy with the glass in my hand and smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I assume the reason for the name, "The Bradley Effect", is similar to what Tom Pastorius says about dark beer: it's like church -- everyone talks about dark beer, says how wonderful it is, but very few people actually drink it.
ReplyDeleteI like dark beer. I have some friends who like dark beer too. In all seriousness these beers look very nice and hope that I decide to just drive my ass down there.
ReplyDeleteNewark has made an industry of ticketing and towing cars illegally parked. There is some parking behind Iron Hill or reasonable city lots. Just a warning for those attending.
ReplyDeleteFor those of us who are not in the Philly area, the same sort of cask-centric affair will be held Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving week at Zeno's in State College. The lineup as reported at mybeerbuzz.com:

I wish they would do one of these events at the Lancaster location...can't say I've ever tried cask beer and would really love to.
