Hashtag Battles Season 2 – Week 1!

September 9, 2012

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

In the spirit of competition, Beer Friends would like to invite everyone to our second season of NFL hashtag battles!  Using hashtagbattle.com we will pit two breweries against each other when their NFL counterparts are facing off on the gridiron.  Are you ready for some football? And drinking?  And #hashtag battle?!?!?!

What’s a hashtag battle?  When you’re drinking a beer of a brewery competing in the battle, throw a #hashtag of the brewery and tweet it (or setup your foursquare or untappd to push to tweet and include the #hashtag) and we’ll use hashtagbattle.com to declare a winner after the Monday Night football game on ESPN.  Support your team, support your beer, drink local and hashtag battle!

Week One – Philadelphia Eagles at Cleveland Browns (#yardsbrew vs #greatlakesbrew) (more…)

Beer Review 115: Yards General Washingtons Tavern Porter

June 21, 2012

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

Holy crap… the 4th of July is almost upon us.  What better way to creep towards the official holiday of BBQ’s then drink (and review) some of our Founding Father’s Brews?  Yard’s is a fantastic brewing out of Philadelphia that has been known for their Pale Ale and Brawler, with ESA (Extra Special Ale) as their flagship (look for them in a upcoming Featured Brewery segment).  Yards also did a very cool thing for us history nerds out there… they found beer recipes from a few of our Founding Fathers (George, Tommy and Benny) and re-created the brew to modern day standards.  So sit back, crack open an old school brew and when it gets too hot by the pool or BBQ, come inside and watch some reviews.  Founding Fathers!  Cherry Tree!  Historical Beer!
