Barren Hill Tavern & Brewery Names Scott Morrison as Brewer

Posted by Sam Bloch on May 17th, 2013

In March we told you that the Devil’s Den and Old Eagle Tavern owner Erin Wallace was buying the General Lafayette Inn in Lafayette Hill as the site for their new brew pub. Well, the Wallaces officially settled on the property for Barren Hill Tavern & Brewery this week and signed on world renowned brewer and seven-time Great American Beer Festival medalist Scott Morrison as Head Brewer.

The new restaurant will be similar to Wallace’s other ventures with one exception; six of the thirty draft lines will be dedicated specifically to house made brews. Morrison, who was head brewer at McKenzie Brewpubs in 2005 when it was named the 35th best brewery in the world by Rate Beer, is known for his Belgian Ales, plans on getting very creative with his brews, promising to “create new and interesting styles that aren’t readily available in the Philly Market.” Morrison’s special brews will also be available at Devil’s Den and Old Eagle Tavern. Wallace is still shooting to open the restaurant with Paul Towbridge as chef in late summer.

Devil’s Den Crew To Open Barren Hill

Posted by Jason Sheehan on March 7th, 2013

Word came down this morning that the Devil’s Den/Old Eagle Tavern team have taken the plunge and are (or soon will be) the proud new owners of the General Lafayette Inn in Lafayette Hill. The place has been a regular in the real estate listings for quite some time, but now it looks like it’s going to get new life as a brew pub.

What do we know right now? We know that when it reopens, it will be called Barren Hill (after the original name for the area) and that it will open with 30 taps–6 of them pouring Barren Hill brews with a plan for three of those to be “accessible” (IPA, lager and the like) and three being more “adventurous.” We know that it’ll be a beer-focused joint (of course), but that there will be a menu and that current Devil’s Den chef, Paul Trowbridge, will be manning the burners. And we also know that the beer brewed at Barren Hill will also be sold at Devil’s Den and the Old Eagle Tavern in Manayunk.

Oh, and we’ve also heard that the team is looking at a mid-to-late summer opening, so they’d better get cracking.

Beer Floats at Old Eagle Tavern

Posted by Foobooz on August 12th, 2011

Years ago we thought it would be a good idea to drop a scoop of ice cream into a pint glass of Guinness. It wasn’t a good idea at all and despite mixed results of beer flavored ice cream concoctions since, we are always intrigued when someone tries to combine a couple of our favorite things.

So we are fascinated by Old Eagle Tavern’s beer float menu. The menu changes weekly depending upon what beers are on tap. Among the offerings this week:

Celebrating The End Of Shark Week in Philly (And Camden)

Posted by Tara Nurin on August 5th, 2011

We Americans are an indifferent people. There’s not much that brings us together as a nation. Yet for some reason that none of us here can understand, we as a society go totally shark-shit crazy for Shark Week. You parents must feel this bite acutely, as we reckon your kids have been up your ass about it for the past six days. If you don’t want them to run away to Woods Hole some cult that worships marine life, redeem your shark cred before Sunday.
