WHAT'S Philadelphia's best beer?
The guys on 610 WIP Sportsradio's Midday Show will declare their pick tonight in the finals of their summertime Beer Brawl.
Over the past several weeks, hosts Anthony Gargano and Glen Macnow have been chatting with area brewers and sampling their beers in a rigorous attempt to declare a champ. They've narrowed their choice to nine beers in three categories that they'll focus on at Chickie's and Pete's (1526 Packer Ave.) from 7 to 10 tonight.
The live broadcast will feature a careful taste test by a panel of celebrity judges, including Joe Sixpack, chef Georges Perrier, former Temple coach John Chaney, Comcast's Leslie Gudel, ex-Phillie Ricky Bottalico, ex-Eagle Ike Reese and Tom Burgoyne, who was last seen hanging out with the Phillie Phanatic.
The event is open to the public, who can enjoy free samples of the finalists.
Beers will be judged in three categories:
Light-bodied: Victory Prima Pils, Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale, Nodding Head Goldihops.
Full-bodied: Weyerbacher Merry Monks, Dock Street Rye IPA and Nodding Head Grog.
Seasonal/specialty: Flying Fish Exit 4 American Trippel, Victory Summer Love, Yards Saison Belgian Style Ale.
