Friends and Family,

This year Jeff Fegley has decided to take on the challenge of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man and Woman of the Year campaign. The Man and Woman of the Year Campaign is a fundraising campaign to help raise money for the fight against blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and melanoma. Leukemia is still the #1 killer of people under the age of 20, so please join Jeff today in his campaign because no gift is greater than the gift of life.

Save the dates for these great fundraising events! Continue reading ‘Brew Works LLS Charity Events’

Charity Brewmaster’s Dinner for LLS

Jun
2

Executive Chef Jill Oman has stepped forward to create a fabulous four course experience that features the best of our sustainable foods! She’ll be pairing the evening with 8 great beers of Brewmaster Beau Baden.

The proceeds from the event will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) as part of Brew Works co-owner Jeff Fegley’s campaign for Man & Woman of the Year. Jeff has pledged to raise $20,000 this year in honor of our brother David, who passed away in 2006.

The event is sponsored by our dear friends and business associates at the Pocono Produce Company. This family owned purveyor of fine foods helps us in our search for the best sustainable foods by working directly with farmers, ranchers, and fishing cooperatives.

Limited ticket availability. $75.00 (includes tax & tip) per person. (Additional donations to LLS are most welcome).

Wednesday, June 2nd, 7pm-9pm

Purchase tickets here:

or call TRACI at 610-882-1300.

The menu will include:

All natural Muscovy Duck from Freebird. As it turns out, the best things in life really are free. Our Freebird™ chickens and duck are – they’re free of antibiotics and hormones. Free to wander in barns, without cages. And always fed a natural corn and soybean diet, free of animal byproducts. And you’ll have a free conscience, knowing that they were raised on sustainable Pennsylvania family farms.

Pork from the farms of Good Nature Pork.™ Animals are raised with adherence to stringent humane treatment practices, the pigs are fed an all vegetarian diet to ensure healthy, natural muscle development, enhanced natural flavor, and superior animal health.

Luscious all natural steaks from the Cedar River Farms of Arizona, it is raised by family farmers and ranchers who share our commitment to a healthy environment and have mastered the practices of raising cattle in a low-stress environment while respecting the land and natural resources.

And we’ll also feature greens coming fresh from the farms of Little Peace Organic Produce in Jim Thorpe.

Uncle Kracker Releasing Country Version of Happy Hour

Uncle Kracker feels that just one version of his current album Happy Hour isn’t enough.  On June 22nd, he’s releasing a digital six song version of the record called Happy Hour: The South River Road Sessions.  The mini-album features “reintepretations” of songs from the original album, recorded in Nashville.  Included are a country version of “Smile,” a new version of “Good to Be Me” with guest vocals by Kracker’s buddy Kid Rock, and “Me Again,” a duet with new country singer Jesse Lee.  Also included is “Letter to My Daughters,” a new version of a song that originally appeared on Kracker’s 2002 album No Stranger To Shame.

Recording country isn’t unusual for Kracker.  In 2004, he spent five weeks at #1 on the Billboard country chart with “When the Sun Goes Down,” a duet with country superstar Kenny Chesney.  And “All Summer Long” was a hit on the country charts as well as the pop charts.

DiBruno Bros: The Queso-Files

This post was up on the blog of our good friend Hunter Fike!  This was a review for a tasting session involving three of our own beers: Space Monkey, Hop’Solutely, and Insidious Imperial Stout

Beer and Cheese Recap: Fegley’s Brew Works

Fegley’s Brew Works have been producing world class beer in the Lehigh Valley since 1998, but have only been bottling for wholesale since 2009. Only in the last year have their beers show up on Philadelphia taps, but we predict that once they get firmly established, they are going to take off. Brewmaster Beau and rep Casey brought three of the finest beers we have ever featured, and they inspired three of our finest pairings.

Space Monkey Raspberry Saison with Andante Dairy Largo: This bottle-conditioned Saison is brewed with 300 pounds of raspberries, but surprisingly (and fortunately), the fruitiness was just one layer of a complex palate. Notes of wheat and a pleasing sourness balanced the fruit perfectly…this beer is a true delight. Largo is a hand-made, small-production triple cream made by Soyoung Scanlan in San Francisco. Enriched with creme fraiche, it, too, is somewhat tart but balanced, creamy and rich. On the tongue, the beer and cheese embraced each other, creating a beautiful harmony and a long finish.

Hop’Solutely with Asiago Stravecchio: The Hop’Solutely, as you might expect, is loaded with hops. At 11.5% abv, it packs a formidable punch, but not without a soothing finish of grapefruit and apricot. Powerful, but oddly easy-drinking. Asiago Stravecchio has a similar flavor profile, as, at two years of age, it is dry and fairly sharp. But there are also sweeter, fruity tones, especially a surprising hint of pineapple. The fruits and strength of the beer and cheese created a whirlwind of flavor and eye-opening intensity.

Insidious Imperial Stout with Colston Bassett Stilton: This has become a somewhat predictable pairing for us, but in the case of Imperial Stouts and Stilton, predictable is still surprisingly delicious. The rich, dark, sweet roasted flavors of Stout play so beautifully off the earthy complexion and chocolaty finish of the Stilton that it would be disrespectful to offer our customers anything else. This beats Stilton and Port, hands down.

So, do yourself a favor and request that your local watering hole start putting The Brew Works’ beers on tap, and then come to our next tasting on Wednesday, June 30th, featuring Rock Bottom Brewery.
