Posted by Foobooz on March 19th, 2013

Today, Aramark, the Phillies and Federal Donuts made it official, hot donuts and fried chicken will be available at Citizens Bank Park this year. Aramark employees are currently working at the two other Federal Donuts locations, making sure they have the twice-fried chicken down pat before opening day. As the Federal Donuts team said, they don’t want to dumb down the chicken for the ballpark. Three types of chicken, a glazed, naked and still to be finalized custom dry blend will be available at the Fednuts stand in left field. Hot donuts (no fancies) will also be on the menu. Expect some familiar flavors plus a unique taste, made exclusively for the ballpark. Steve Cook and company are confident they’ll be able to meet the demand.

Posted by Foobooz on November 28th, 2012

Victory Brewing Co. released Red Thunder last week at their Downingtown brewery but only eight kegs of the wine barrel aged Baltic Thunder are going to make it out to other bars. Fittingly, one of the bars where the beer will be tapped at is Earth Bread + Brewery in Mount Airy. Victory’s Baltic Thunder is based on a recipe by Tom Baker, the owner of Earth Bread + Brewery.

Head in tomorrow, Thursday, November 29th when the beer will be tapped and Victory brewers will be on hand with glassware and other giveaways.

What’s More Fun than a Barrel of Monkeys? Barrel Aged Golden Monkey

Posted by Foobooz on October 25th, 2012

Victory Brewing Company is experimenting with aging beer in wine barrels. In November the Downingtown brewery will be releasing Red Thunder, red wine barrel-aged Baltic Thunder Porter. It’s the latest barrel-aged beer for Victory, and should add tannic dryness to the cocoa creaminess of the Baltic-style porter and produce a rich, fruity final product.

But this isn’t the only barrel-aged beer in the pipeline »
