Next Week: Brewers Unleashed Unleashes Itself On Philly
Ok, so it’s not often that we’d bother talking to you about an event being thrown by MillerCoors (the people who brought the world Mickey’s Ice and Miller Chill), but we’re making an exception for this one.
Brewers Unleashed is a thing that the company has been doing in Chicago for the last three years–a thing which essentially started as a company party but then blossomed into a full-scale public showcase of weird, one-off beers being brewed by small-time craft brewers within the MillerCoors family. Apparently, it’s a very popular event. Apparently, it sells out all the time.
And now, for one night only, it’s coming to Philly, as part of the Franklin Institute’s “Science After Hours” program. Which, you know, just kinda makes it even cooler.
Now before you go and get all scoffy about this whole thing, let’s be clear. Yes, it’s being put on by one of the biggest mega-breweries out there, but even the mega-est of mega-breweries have among their brand portfolio some little guys (and even some not-so-little guys) who want to brew something better than just another million gallons of Milwaukee’s Best. So check out the tap list before you make up your mind.
