Philly Beer Week – Dock Street Brewery Events
It’s time for Philly Beer Week and time to celebrate all things beer- beer cocktails, beer and music, beer and running, the ‘broads’ of the beer industry… the list goes on. We’re even ‘pimping’ ourselves out with Dock Street ‘Pimp My Rye’-a souped up, high octane version of our Rye IPA. We’re not stopping there. We are also going to teach a thing or two about beer at First Friday @ Chemical Heritage and our Beer Seminar & Tasting with Ben Potts @ Dock Street.
Also in the line-up, Dock Street & Metropolitan Bakery Beer Bread Collaboration

In 1516 the German Purity Law set a standard for brewers that remains to this day, except for one detail. The law listed permissible beer ingredients as barley malt, hops and water. What about yeast?
CHF fellow John Ceccatti will explain how a 19 th century scientific battle uncovered the role of yeast in beer- and the role bacteria plays in disease. Dock Street Brewing Company will provide tasty, yeast-enabled samples, have a brewer onsite to answer questions about methods and malts.
