Good Times at The Grey Lodge

For the past couple Tuesdays, I have been heading over the Tacony Palmyra Bridge and enjoying myself at The Grey Lodge. I really can't say enough good things about this bar and its owner, Scoats. I first came here for one of their Friday the Firkinteenth events and had an absolute blast..now I'm hooked. During my last 2 visits there, I met up with The Big Beer Guy and Scoats to do some tastings, and it's been a lot of fun. We sampled four beers this past Tuesday and my favorites were Lagunitas Hop Stoopid and an Anchor Christmas Beer aged from 2008. The final scores will be posted up on Kev's blog soon, if you're interested.

The Grey Lodge always has a great tap selection that's constantly in rotation, though, I can't seem to stop drinking Yards ESA on the hand pump when I'm there.

What can I say... I love beers on cask. If the good people and great beer wasn't enough, they had to go and make the best cheesesteak I've ever had outside of Pat's. Seriously, their food is good! For years I put off going here and I'm glad that I finally made it a spot that I will frequent. Not to mention they host some of the best events in the city. For Instance, Saturday the 15th, they are having their 13th Anniversary Celebration. Starting at 11am they will be having 13 events in 13 hours! I'll probably get there sometime before 1 to play darts with Philadelphia Brewing Co.  There will also be events featuring Brooklyn, Weyerbacher, Six Point, and Flying Fish beers. Yes, there will be Exit 11 on tap starting at 11pm. For more information on this event, read this. It's shaping up to be yet another fun day at The Grey Lodge and I can't wait for Saturday!

Oh, I know this might sound strange, but their mens room is really 

nicely decorated, too. I just so happened to have married a woman who loves beer, so I snapped this pic in their bathroom.
