SOLD OUT!!
We're getting super cheesy for Valentine's Day.
(No, but like, for real.)
We're hosting Philadelphia-famous curd whisperer Alex Jones of Collective Creamery for a private cheese making class with a live demonstration of mozzarella making, followed by a cheese + beer pairing (and eating, and drinking), plus plenty of cocktails in between. The Cannery will be closed to the public during this event, so expect an intimate, seated ambiance with plenty of time and space to talk, ask questions, and enjoy. We're capping this at 22 people, and tickets are first-come, first served so reserve your spot now!
THE LINE-UP:
6PM Arrival + welcome cocktail - your choice! Check out the new additions to our just-updated cocktail menu including Guavagool, Koopa Trooper Smash, Winter Tonic, or whatever your heart desires. You can opt for beer or wine, instead.
6:15PM Grab a seat and settle in with your drink as Alex demonstrates how to make mozzarella. She'll explain the ingredients and the process, make a batch while you watch, and maybe let you taste some along the way. We'll hook you up with some ingredients to take home and make a batch of your own.
7:15PM Cheese and beer pairings - Alex has selected a beautiful curation of local, artisanal cheeses from Valley Milkhouse and Collective Creamery to serve with baguettes, and we'll be pairing them with our fresh-to-death in-house beers for your eating/drinking pleasure.

ABOUT DOCK STREET CANNERY + TASTING LOUNGE
We opened this space in Spring 2017 as a mixed-use space for canning during the week and cocktailing Thursday through Saturday. At the Cannery, we've hosted everything from Tattoo parties to monthly Comedy Nights (check out #ComedyAtTheCannery at the end of each month!) to Glassblowing Demos. We through a mean private party in here, too. The Cannery is pretty different than the main brewpub - it's smaller, more intimate (but a bit more industrial, at the same time -- you'll be drinking right next to our fermentation tanks and canning line) and is more centered on cocktails and beer cocktails that feature spirits from PA-makers including Boardroom, Five Saints, Lo-Fi, Rowhouse Spirits, Faber, Wiggle, Dad's Hat and Bluebird.
