A shortage of raw ingredients is shooting the price of hops and barley up which will likely mean your favorite beers are going to cost a bit more by the end of the year.
The shortage is a result of poor crops, high demand, the weak dollar and the increasing popularity of ethanol, which has prompted farmers to plant corn rather than hops or barley.

Joe Sixpack gives the lowdown on where to enjoy some German beers and wursts around the area.
Dozens of restaurants and taverns throughout the region are celebrating the wedding of Prince Ludwig and the lovely Therese (don’t worry, I didn’t get an invitation either) with dinners and German beer specials. Oktoberfest has grown so much, you’re even beginning to hear oompah music in Irish bars.

Aroundphilly.com’s Brian Freedman takes a look at Triumph Brewing Co. on Chestnut Street in Old City.
All told, and despite a few missteps, Triumph is a solid addition to the Old City scene. The space itself is striking and makes terrific use of the industrial feel of the building. It features one of the best beer deals in town: A sampler of all the beers on tap is a mere $8, and if you’re not going there to get your drink on, it’s a perfect amount to allow for some experimentation with pairings. I particularly liked the hefeweizen, whose distinct banana aromas were evidence of a carefully brewed beer, and the Irish dry stout, which, with its chocolate milk and coffee flavors, made a lovely partner for dessert.

Philadelphia Weekly visits Triumph Brewing Co. and finds the beer and food shine.
Crispy, oh-so-delicate, thinly shaved frizzled onions come to the table in a paper cone and are quickly ravaged. Short-rib ravioli swimming in an earthy mushroom broth, proudly wearing thin ribbons of parmigiano reggiano, are stabbed at with vigor—the ripped shreds of meat which stuff the pasta are about as good as I’ve ever tasted. The salad has heaping helpings of sherry vinaigrette-dressed watercress layered carefully into hearty leaves of endive.

Joe Sixpack asks the question who would you rather drink with, Fido or some crumb snatching kid. Unsurprisingly Joe picks the pups and gives a good list of places where you can enjoy a cold one with your favorite cold-nosed friend.
- Le Bus
- London Grill
- White Dog Cafe
- Bliss
- Caribou Cafe
- Newportville Inn
- Triumph Brewing, New Hope
- Four Dogs Tavern
Another new spot to check out with your four-legged companion is Tavern 17 where later this summer they’ll be unveiling a “doggie menu.”

Kirsten Henri’s piece in today’s Philadelphia Weekly is chock full of goodies for everyone looking forward to the next big opening.
- 707 is promising no entree over $20. The “classic American” cuisine will feature pigs-in-a-blanket, hanger steak with tempura onion rings and reuben spring rolls.
- Fairmount’s Monk’s is still tied up in paperwork with those sticks in the mud, the PLCB.
- Look for the Spruce Street Tria to open in June.
- Can oil-poached Copper River salmon with lemongrass and shiitake risotto get people to go to the Penthouse Lounge and Grille?
- And it still sounds like the end of March for Triumph Brewing Company’s Old City location.
