PHILLY BEER WEEK
Striving to always be a leader and not a follower, to always try to be on the forefront, The Irish Pol just could not wait until we were told when we could start Philly Beer Week. With so many breweries wanting to do events with the bar that has the most taps in America's greatest beer city, we kicked off PBW a day early with Stone Brewery.
The night laid out like this...at 5PM, our happy hour kicked off with almost all 40 of our beers on tap for $3 (there are 3 that we would just completely loose money on if we lowered them to $3), and then when happy hour ended, Lee from Stone shows up with their IPA, Arrogant Bastard, and Double Bastard. He was packed with knowledge about the brewery. Graciously chatted with everyone, free samples for all, and until 9:30pm, all Stone products were $3! Upstairs, we had live music from Funkharp (who seemed to have found a new love in the IPA) and Adam Monaco (someone sign this guy!) When the live music ended, back downstairs at midnight for 2 hours of EVERY BEER FOR $3 until 2am!!! Yes, St. Bernardus, Southern Tier Choklat, Double Bastard, and 37 other great craft beers for ONLY $3!!! Every other bar can SUCK IT!!!
Now that we have set an example that all other bars just can not live up to, we expect all to come an enjoy all of the tastings we have lined up for Philly Beer Week. Still to come: Palm, Victory, Rogue, Magic Hat, Left Hand, River Horse, Dogfish Head, Weyerbacher, and more!!! Hit up http://phillybeerweek.org/ for times and details.
I must say, it is nice to see the reaction and hear the opinions of those who experience The Irish Pol for the very first time. From the fact that some actually think the "wall of taps" is just decoration to over hearing people who have been brought in by a friend saying "wow, you were right about this place," from those who are upset because they had not found out about us earlier to those who can not wait to spread the word. But, honestly the best is just seeing people that are genuinely happy and having a great time enjoying great beers that they are so used to being overcharged for at other bars, meeting real people from every walk of life who are just in a good mood and openly social, and having them come back time and time again.
Notfortourist.com just did a really nice write up on us that says it all quite well.
Also, it is nice to read what locals are saying about us on Yelp
Thanks to all of those who have found us, realized what we have to offer, enjoyed their time at The Irish Pol, and continue to come back...to become regulars.
