Friends. Philly beer week starts tomorrow and interstate will be a stop on the hammer of glory travels (aka the hog) for the kickoff. The hog is due to be delivered to interstate at 1:53 PM and then depart at 2:06. Please note the HOG often runs a little behind schedule. The HOG is being delivered to interstate from the International Bar by the “sensational sexy Gritty and Phanatic” and then we will deliver it to Johnny Brenda’s after it hangs out at Interstate. The HOG will be delivered by our buddy Joe - aka this fishtown iced tea. Stop by tomorrow if you’d like to snap some pictures with the HOG. We will open at noon and will run a draft special. From noon to 4pm - all 16oz drafts of Tonewood’s Freshies, Sterling Pig Technicolor Haze as well as Sly Fox Pikeland Pils and Goat Race Maibock will be only $5!!!!!!

Some of you may follow the the Facebook group “Fishtown is Awesome/Old/New/Everyone! As we were working with our friends at Jacquins to develop a more robust shot program - we reached out to the group about naming a shot after them and what it would be. We also elicited suggestions for other named shots that highlight some of the popular subjects the group has debated. After months of research and planning - the menu is done!! It debuts today - stop on by and give some of them a shot!! 🤪

Hey friends. We will be closed today, Monday, and Tuesday to enjoy the holiday and some time off. We will reopen on Wednesday at 4pm

If you are local tomorrow, please consider stopping by the event to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The Charles Glenn Memorial has the distinction of being one of the first (possibly the very first) memorials to those who died during service in the Vietnam war. The monument honors the fallen who grew up the neighbors.
