Standard-Tap
Posted by Foobooz on February 15th, 2013
For the month of March, nine Northern Liberties bars are getting together and making sure they don’t pour the same beer twice. They’re calling it Northern Exposure and plan to offer an unrivaled draft list of over 100 unique beers through the month.
There is no cover charge or tickets, just pay as you go for beers. They’re encouraging small, self-guided bar crawls and there will be Beer Passports to help record the beers tried. Complete one brewer’s offerings in the month and get some free swag.
Check out the Northern Exposure Facebook page for more information and follow @ExposureFest on Twitter.

We thought it was odd that Sidecar Bar & Grille at 22nd and Christian was closed during the day yesterday. Doubly weird that the Standard Tap was also closed. But then a tipster told us they spotted a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives film crew at Sidecar and it began to make sense. We reached out to Standard Tap owner William Reed as to whether he had received a visit from “Flavor Town.” Reed issued a “no comment” which speaks volumes.
Did anyone see Guy Fieri himself around town? And are any diners, drive-ins or dives not open today? Let us know.

Last week I was on vacation in Puerto Rico. Morrissey followed me around from restaurant soundtrack to bar jukebox. I returned and couldn’t shake the Moz. He was playing at the bars here, in the shops on 13th Street. He was omnipresent. And what did the email bring? More Morrissey. This time it’s a Morrissey karaoke contest at Standard Tap set for tonight.

Tonight, ten local pumpkin beers will be pouring at the Standard Tap. But what makes the event especially fun, for $10 you can drink from a small carved out pumpkin. Refills are just $2. Get there when the fun begins at 4 p.m. because pumpkin quantities are limited.

According to the September issue of Esquire, Philadelphia is the Late-Night Capital of these here United States. The issue’s late-night eats guide contains essays about the difference between truck stops and diners, the glory that is poutine (I’d say we agree), and tons of recipes for manly food to be eaten in the wee hours of the morning. Esquire even lists all the best late-night foods from all over America– from egg rolls in Chicago to fried chicken in Louisville– but without mentioning a single food from Philly. Why? Because we got our own article about why we’re the best ever, that’s why.

A firkin of Flying Fish Exit 8 will be tapped promptly at 6 p.m. tomorrow at the Standard Tap. Exit 8 is a Belgian style Chestnut ale brewed with local chestnuts and honey. This is the eighth in the Exit Series beers and is the first after a long-delay, due in part to Flying Fish’s expansion to a bigger facility.
