On Saturday, June 28, Brews & Bites, a beer, wine, and spirits tasting event at Pennsbury Manor, will kick off the Independence Day holiday week.
Held al fresco at the idyllic riverfront home of Pennsylvania’s founder William Penn, this sunset fundraiser from 4-8 P.M. features local beer tasting, food trucks, and live music by classic rock/motown band AUGUST.
Since William Penn established a brew house on the site in the 1680s, Pennsbury will offer samples of beer brewed on site for tasting at the event.
This fundraiser supports high-quality educational tours and programming at Pennsbury Manor for more than 10,000 school children annually.
“William Penn may have been among Pennsylvania’s earliest microbrewers” said Pennsbury Manor Site Director, Doug Miller. “With the support of today’s brewers, Pennsbury will raise funds for our educational programming, while hoisting a glass to a 300+ year tradition at Pennsbury Manor.”
Several historic recipe beers made by Pennsbury’s brewing club, Quakers Behaving Badlye, will be available for tasting, including cherry ale, march ale and molasses beer.
Breweries, Wineries and Distilleries featured at the event include:
- Aristaeus Craft Brewing Company
- Ashlynn Distillery
- Broad Street Brewing
- Broken Goblet
- Crooked Eye
- Manic Minds Brewing
- Mermaid Spirits Distillery
- Naked Brewing
