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.

Tonight at 4 p.m. Dock Street Brewing is debuting a new beer, Nino’s Prickly Pears. The beer is inspired by a recent trip to Sicily by Dock Street owner Rosemarie Certo. While there, Sicilian born Certo enjoyed figs, grapes, olives, pistachios and of course, fichi d’india (prickly pears).
The beer is a ruby red, biere de garde style created by brewer Scott Morrison. Look for notes of kiwi, raspberry and bubblegum notes if you want to treat this beer like a wine.
Bartenders are also mixing a Prickly Pear beer cocktail for the event tonight.
Look for Nino’s Prickly Pears this week and beyond at Dock Street as well as at select beer bar around town.
