This coming Saturday, October 24th, from 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., the new Iron Hill Brewery in Maple Shade, NJ, will partner with the Flying Fish Brewing Company for a special “Brewer’s Tasting Event.” Featuring hand-crafted beers from both breweries, this event is a do-not-miss opportunity for Garden State beer lovers.
Flavorful offerings for the pay-as-you-go event will include: Iron Hill’s Heywood Tripel, 2004 Barleywine, and Totally Inappropriate; alongside will be Flying Fish’s Exit 4 American Tripel, Belgian Imperial Cru, and Grand Cru. These potent beers were chosen because they are prime examples of the higher alcohol, fuller flavored autumn and winter offerings at each brewery.
Flying Fish was the world’s first “virtual” microbrewery, establishing an Internet presence as early as 1995. That presence helped to generate press interest and woo investors to the fledgling brewery, which would not open for business until late 1996. Flying Fish brews have been featured at the Great British Beer Festival, Oregon Brewers Festival, and Canada’s Biere de Mondial Festival. They have won medals at the Great American Beer Festival, Real Ale Festival, and the World Beer Championships; and it is the only New Jersey brewery featured in Best American Beers. Flying Fish was recently named “Local hero: Beverage Artisan of 2009” by Edible Jersey magazine.
Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant is the region’s fastest-growing restaurant group, with eight locations throughout Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and five to seven more planned across the mid-Atlantic in the next five years. Founded by Kevin Finn, Mark Edelson, and Kevin Davies, Iron Hill has developed from its first restaurant in Newark, DE, in 1996 to a company that employs more than 750 area residents and is widely recognized for its excellence in brewing, consistently good food, and strong track record of community involvement.
Cheers!
