WELCOME BACK AMERICA with Free Dock Street Beer
Summer Beer & Giveaway July 4th Weekend Dock Street Brewery South
It’s been a long 16 months of lockdowns, masks and shuttered businesses, but brighter days are ahead as the nation heads into the summer months! To commemorate America’s Independence from King George III, our freedom from pandemic fatigue and the release of Dock Street Brewery’s summer beers, Philly’s OG Artisanal Brewery will celebrate with a free toast over the July 4th weekend.
On July 2, 3 and 4, the brewery will give away an 8-ounce glass of beer* to anyone of legal drinking age who walks into the brewery. “Freedom tastes even sweeter this summer after the unprecedented year-plus we’ve just had, and even more so with some delicious, free Dock Street beer,” said Renata Certo-Ware, who heads the company’s Marketing and Events. “Thanks to healthcare workers that hustled to get Philly vaccinated, we’re able to have a newfound freedom this summer as restrictions that were keeping us distanced from one another, and from our city, are lifted. Philly feels stronger than ever, and we wanted to welcome everyone back with a free pour of one of our favorite summer beers.”
Beer geeks, revelers, and neophytes come one, come all and get a free pick from one of these selections:
Dock Street Summer Haze - 5% ABV, 35 IBUs
Pale Ale - This hazy, straw-hued, light bodied Pale Ale is brewed with Pilsner, Munich, and Flaked Wheat which makes for a silky smooth body with a mildly sweet backbone. Hopped with all late stage and dry additions of Citra, Cascade, Amarillo, and Simcoe. Aromas and flavors of bold citrus and tropical fruit.
Dock Street Futuro Italian Pilsner - ABV 4.8%, 48 IBUs
Italian Style Pilsner - A nod to Dock Street's founder (Rosemarie Certo-Ware), an Italian immigrant. A grist of German Pilsner malt is carefully decocted to develop a delicate and crisp malt base, onto which an assertive noble hop profile is built with frequent kettle additions of Hallertau Tradition, Hallertau Blanc, and Styrian Aurura. Dry hopped post fermentation with Blanc and Aurora, then lagered extensively. Dynamic flavor and aroma of herbal nobility, soft melon, and blooming wildflowers. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, served in the Keller-Style.
Dock Street Barracuda - ABV 4%, 4 IBUs
Berliner Weisse - This tart, sessionable ale is brewed with raspberry and hibiscus that lend an alluring rose-colored hue alongside their delightful fruity and floral contribution, but don't let the good looks fool you — this beer packs a punch like its toothy namesake. First, it's kettle-soured with probiotic cultures to develop a tart acidity, then fermented with our house ale strain until it is crisp and dry. Perfect for a day out on the water, or inland, where the only Barracudas are on throwback radio or in 16oz cans.
*Limit one free pour per person. And, don’t forget to show your bartender some love!

Dock Street Madam Vice President is here, right in time for International Women’s Day 😎
Dock Street Madam Vice President in 16oz cans is dropping March 5th at 4pm at BOTH locations; our way of starting the International Women’s Day celebrations a bit early.
We’ve had non-stop chills and spontaneous happy-dance parties here at our woman-owned brewery since a week or so into November, when the winners of the 2020 Presidential Election were announced. This is a HUGE step forward for all of us, and we want to celebrate the nation’s first female, Black, and Asian-American Vice President Kamala Harris by announcing a brand new brew, coming in February, called Dock Street Madam Vice President.
Dock Street Madam Vice President in 16oz cans is dropping March 5th at 4pm at BOTH locations; our way of starting the International Women’s Day celebrations a bit early.
We’re making it a party - as best we can with this whole COVID thing - at Dock Street South from 4pm-6pm with DJ Lovely spinning funky and beautiful sounds to get us feeling celebratory. Artist Sarah Russell, who created the beautiful artwork on the can label, will be on hand selling prints of her Kamala portrait as well as other iconic pieces.
Want to secure your 4-pack or case?
Beer will be available for purchase - first-come, first-served AND by pre-ordering online, as well. Scroll for more details and a link to pre-purchase.
DOCK STREET MADAM VICE PRESIDENT
4.5% ABV 30 IBUs
4.5% ABV, 30 IBUs - A powerful, uplifting lager with a crisp, light, bready malt body, and significant aroma contributed primarily by Lotus hops in honor of our very own Madam Vice President, Kamala Harris, whose name means “Lotus” in Sanskrit. She is the first woman, the first Black American, and first Asian American Vice President in the history of the United States. This hard-earned accomplishment represents a life-changing, new precedent-setting, standard-rewriting, glass-ceiling-shattering win for womxn, people of color, children of immigrants, hard workers, and humankind. The future is oh-so-bright!
$1 of every four-pack sale will be donated to Philabundance to covers two meals.
Real talk…
Whether or not you agree with her politics or like her as a person or politician, what her election to the nation’s second highest office means is bigger than all that. This is a huge victory for womxn, and specifically Womxn of Color. It’s a win and an acknowledgement and a shattering of so many glass ceilings that we have not, until a couple months ago, ever before seen in our country’s history. THAT is worth putting aside our differences for and celebrating the heck out of!

There have been some real masterpieces, from artfully arranged veggies-topped pizzas, to conjoined pizza twins, grilled ‘za, and little minis, all using the ingredients from our kit plus stuff you all have in your fridges at home. We are so inspired by the recipes you’re churning out, that we want to add a winning one to our full pizza menu!
From March 1-17th, buy a pizza kit at Dock Street South or Dock Street West (ORDER ONLINE HERE and choose your nearest location, instructions are included with each kit) and post it on Instagram (be sure to tag @DockStreetBeer + @DockStreetSouth and use the hashtag #DockStreetDIY). Since we’re all socially distancing, we’ll be judging by looks and recipe content alone. (Hey, they do say, “You eat first with your eyes.”)
We'll choose a winning creation to add to our menu at Dock Street West + Dock Street South for a minimum of 2 months. The winner and a runner up will also win pizza and beer prizes.
You can name the pizza whatever you want - yes, you can name it after yourself - but the name must not be vulgar or offensive - we’re a family spot. (We reserve final approval on the name in that spirit.)
The judges are PJ Freeman (Dock Street West Head Chef of 11 years) who knows good pizza and could make a stellar pie with a blindfold on; Bari Goldstein of Bari's Belly, who knows everything about Philly food culture and where to get the best grub in town; and Philly’s culture queen, Alicia Vitarelli - 6ABC Anchor and FYI Philly Host.
Each kit is $11-17 and includes either one or two individual-sized pizza doughs because even though sharing is caring, now is quite literally the right time for a pizza of one’s own. Sauce and cheese is also included.
HOW TO ENTER:
1.) Get a Dock Street Pizza Kit from Dock Street South or Dock Street West.
2.) Follow @DockStreetBeer, @DockStreetSouth, @Baris_Belly and @aliciavitarelli on Insta.
