On Saturday, July 13th, beginning at 2:00 p.m., Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant, 130 East Bridge Street, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, will host their annual BLOB-Fest, celebrating the Phoenixville-filmed horror classic The Blob.
The film, which will be shown at the nearby Colonial Theatre, 227 Bridge Street, is the inspiration for Head Brewer Tim Stumpf’s Red Cherry BLOB witbier, as well as fun menu of BLOB-y beers, snacks, plates, and a tin foil hat contest.
The featured beers will include: Red Cherry BLOB, a dark imperial witbier brewed with sweet Oregon cherries; Dirty Weisse, a wheat beer blended at the tap with a touch of Lindeman’s Framboise, a sweet-and-sour Belgian-style raspberry beer; Monster Barleywine is a traditional brown, English-style Barleywine with intense, complex malt sweetness and a sherry-like quality, full-bodied with balanced bitterness and a warm finish; and Bridge St. Bock, a traditional full-bodied, amber German lager with distinct malty and bready characteristics in aroma & flavor with a clean, dry finish.
The beers will pair with BLOB menu items, which will include: BLOBster Bisque with inside-out lobster raviolis; Bloody Mary Blob Salad with mesclun greens, candied bacon, celery sticks, carrots, avocado, bell peppers and served with a blue cheese dressing; Macaroni & Cheese Blobs, fried macaroni & cheese, applewood smoked bacon, served with a sweet & spicy BBQ sauce; Pan Roasted Salmon served with a cauliflower cream BLOB, charred scallions and saffron-almond sauce; Grilled New York Strip Steak TV Dinner with a cheddar laced potato croquette, buttered sugar snap peas, horseradish-infused cream sauce, and a lemon bar. Dishes range in price from $6.50 – $28.95.
As part of a long-standing tradition during Phoenixville’s BLOB fest, Iron Hill invites customers to bring their best Tin Foil Hat creations (to wear in order to ward off any aliens trying to read their minds) for the chance to win a $100.00 gift card. The contest kicks off at 7:00 p.m.
Bon Appétit!
