AleSmith Video

After seeing a tweet by PhillyBeerScene linking to a post of The Big Beer Guy I am quite excited for AleSmith to be making it's way East! The video is rather entertaining too ( even if 2 years old ) !

I haven't heard of them before this but of course AleSmith already has a Drinklogs page ( but no drinkers ).

The Foodery’s Beer Academy Classes Starting This Week

Love to drink beer, but don’t know a lager from a porter? Want to expand your hoppy horizons? Consider enrolling in one of The Foodery’s Beer Academy class. Each session will give you the opportunity to taste 12 representative beer types, from ales to stouts (and so much in between). The Foodery beer experts will be on hand to help you learn about the various styles of brews sitting in front of you, as well as how to articulate the flavors you’re tasting.

The classes will be taking place this Thursday, February 18 at 4 p.m. at Dos Segundos, Saturday, February 20 at 3 p.m. at Local 44 and Saturday, February 27 at 1 p.m. at Nodding Head. Tickets are $15 a head, and are on sale at both Foodery locations, as well as at the host venues.

And, if the class is more of a commitment than you’re looking for, consider checking out the free weekly tastings at The Foodery’s Northern Liberties location. The next one is Thursday, February 25 from 6-8 p.m. and they’ll be tasting the newest releases from the Flying Fish brewery.

I really think this is something I want to do for my birthday, possibly the 27th at Nodding Head, I'll have to look into tickets.

Mikey's American Grill & Sports Bar‎

After finishing our requirements document for senior design, @JCourts, Tom, and I went out for a drink. Instead of our usual trip to Slainte Pub & Grill we went to try out Mikey's American Grill & Sports Bar. The last time J was there they had a better drink selection then Slainte, but it appears to have fallen since then. Mikey's has a chalk board of weekly specials and their full beer list but it wasn't being kept up to date, they were out of the beer I wanted to try. I settled with a Duvel and Justin had a Hop Devil.

We loved discovering that 8pm Tuesdays is quizzo night at Mikey's. Our table scored 3/3 on the last of the first round, although not so great on the second. Tuesdays work well since we have group meetings every Tuesday and it would be a decent place to play. Not that I can afford to go out that frequently.

The largest problem that night was the service. Our waitress was attentive for the first few minutes but we only saw her once more in the next hour until we paid the check. It was busy, they were having some sort of Red Bull/Skyy event that night, but it was still a major turn off for Mikey's.
