Dock Street South Will Give Away an 8-ounce Glass of Beer to Anyone of Legal Drinking age July 2nd-4th!
It’s been a long 16 months of lockdowns, masks and shuttered businesses, but brighter days are ahead as the nation heads into the summer months! To commemorate America’s Independence from King George III, our freedom from pandemic fatigue and the release of Dock Street Brewery’s summer beers, Philly’s OG Artisanal Brewery will celebrate with a free toast over the July 4th weekend.
On July 2, 3 and 4, Dock Street Brewery South (2118 Washington Ave.) will give away an 8-ounce glass of beer to anyone of legal drinking age who walks into the brewery. “Freedom tastes even sweeter this summer after the unprecedented year-plus we’ve just had, and even more so with some delicious, free Dock Street beer,” said Renata Certo-Ware, who heads the company’s Marketing and Events. “Thanks to healthcare workers that hustled to get Philly vaccinated, we’re able to have a newfound freedom this summer as restrictions that were keeping us distanced from one another, and from our city, are lifted. Philly feels stronger than ever, and we want to welcome everyone back with a free pour of one of our favorite summer beers.”
Beer geeks, revelers, and neophytes come one, come all and get a free pick from one of these selections:
Dock Street Summer Haze – 5% ABV, 35 IBUs
Pale Ale – This hazy, straw-hued, light bodied Pale Ale is brewed with Pilsner, Munich, and Flaked Wheat which makes for a silky smooth body with a mildly sweet backbone. Hopped with all late stage and dry additions of Citra, Cascade, Amarillo, and Simcoe. Aromas and flavors of bold citrus and tropical fruit.
Dock Street Futuro Italian Pilsner – ABV 4.8%, 48 IBUs
Italian Style Pilsner – A nod to Dock Street’s founder (Rosemarie Certo-Ware), an Italian immigrant. A grist of German Pilsner malt is carefully decocted to develop a delicate and crisp malt base, onto which an assertive noble hop profile is built with frequent kettle additions of Hallertau Tradition, Hallertau Blanc, and Styrian Aurura. Dry hopped post fermentation with Blanc and Aurora, then lagered extensively. Dynamic flavor and aroma of herbal nobility, soft melon, and blooming wildflowers. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, served in the Keller-Style.
Dock Street Barracuda – ABV 4%, 4 IBUs
Berliner Weisse – This tart, sessionable ale is brewed with raspberry and hibiscus that lend an alluring rose-colored hue alongside their delightful fruity and floral contribution, but don’t let the good looks fool you — this beer packs a punch like its toothy namesake. First, it’s kettle-soured with probiotic cultures to develop a tart acidity, then fermented with our house ale strain until it is crisp and dry. Perfect for a day out on the water, or inland, where the only Barracudas are on throwback radio or in 16oz cans.
Dock Street South is open Wednesday through Sunday for indoor and outdoor dining and takeout. Hours of operation are Wednesday and Thursday 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.
