Zeppoli’s Joey Baldino at Alla Spina for Beer Week Industry Night

Posted by Foobooz on May 30th, 2013

For all those who think Zeppoli in Collingswood is a bridge too far away. Good news, Zeppoli and Joey Baldino are coming to Alla Spina for Industry Night on Monday, June 3rd. Of course people who complain about going to Collingswood probably also complain about going to north Broad, but whatever, more food for us.

Baldino is serving up a Sicilian feast as Alla Spina also welcomes St. Louis’ Perennial Brewing and Colorado’s Great Divide Brewing to the house for Philly Beer Week. The breweries will be offering discounted drafts and Baldino will be preparing a feast of dishes like pistachio sausage, swordfish spiedini and much more.

As always, the food is free and the drinks are cheap. It all gets started at 10 p.m., a hospitality pay stub is required for admission, or visiting Beer Week peeps can get in with a business card.

If you were at Hop Chef you heard Jersey Dan dee-jay. Maybe you even went to Alla Spina for the after party and had more beer you really didn’t need. Reminisce tonight at Alla Spina as he DJs the bar’s Thursday Tap That night. Jersey Dan goes on at 9 p.m., the food and drink special go from 10 p.m. to midnight.

To make it truly like Hop Chef, at the end of the night, call Dan and tell him you left your camera in his car, even though you didn’t.

Tonight: Taking Advantage Of Spring At Alla Spina

For the first time this year, the garage doors are open at Alla Spina. Seems like a perfect excuse for some pretzels with spicy beer cheese, fried pig’s tails and a three-beer chaser. Just sayin’…

A Hop Eclipse Now: Dogfish Head IPA Dinner Tonight at Alla Spina

Posted by Alex Tewfik on March 26th, 2013

Dogfish Head Brewery, the artists of all things hops, has teamed up with Sierra Nevada to create a collaboration IPA called the Rhizing Bines, and to celebrate, chef Mike Deganis of Alla Spina has created a four-course pairing dinner to pair with it, as well as four other Dogfish Head beers. The IPA diversity bursting out of the Dogfish pipes is really quite impressive and this IPA seems to be something special—so special, it’s got its own specially designed glass.

The dinner is tonight, and it’s $60 a head, which includes five beers, four courses, and you get to keep the IPA glass. There are revolving seatings from 6-8:30 pm, call or book online to make a reservation.
