Donate. Get free beer. Baddabing baddaboom. We're starting with a kick-off event here at Dock Street Brewery in West Philly from 3pm-11pm on September 6th. We'll be collecting book donations, or you can Text-To-Donate. The Text-to-Donate initiative will go on all month through October 1st - show us your donation confirmation and get a pour of a changing selection of rare beers. The first beer will be Crackle & Squeeze conditioned with rose hips, on 'til it's gone.
Dock Street has now officially been handcrafting beer and hand-tossing pizzas in the Firehouse in West Philadelphia for ten years (!!) - almost a third of our 32-year lifespan as Philadelphia's first craft beer. We don’t claim to have “discovered” West Philly, and we didn’t open up shop here with the intent to conquer, alter, or reshape the neighborhood to fit the typical microbrewery model, simply because we’ve never been the typical microbrewery ever since we started in 1985.
We're still fielding calls, tweets, and emails from people who slept on the launch and are trying to get their hands on some cans, which, let's face it, disappeared in a couple days. So, because we all need more nicethings in our lives, we're releasing a second batch of Dock Street nicethings IPA cans. Chill will be here, and DJ Greg Nitty from Boom 103.9. is spinning 6-8pm.
Cans of Dock Street nicethings IPA, brewed with West-Philly rapper Chill Moody, are dropping Thursday, June 29 @ 6pm with an appearance by Chill Moody / DJ Getup spins from 6-8pm @ Dock Street Cannery + Lounge (next door to Dock Street Brewery)
