Old Forge Brewing Enters Philadelphia Market

With their production brewery in full swing and the canning line up and running, our pal Damien Malfara will be shipping his T-Rail Pale Ale & Endless Summer cans into the Philly market.  This is exciting news for everyone at OFBC and in Philly.  Here are the details from Damien…

We are celebrating our launch in the Philly market starting Feb. 1st...which is next week (unbelievable how time flies)!

I'll be down in Philly the whole week promoting the beer and the schedule is listed below.

Old Forge Brewing Co – Canning Line & 1st Production Brew The Cans are OUT!

Just thought you’d want a peek at Damien Malfara & the guys sampling T-Rail Pale Ale,  the first beer to come out of the new Old Forge Brewing production brewery.  I’ve also included a photo of the Wild Goose Engineering canning line, still awaiting setup.  If you look carefully you can see the cans just waiting in the background.  Congratulations guys…can’t wait to see T-Rail in cans (most likely this coming week!)  For more photos, check out Old Forge Brewing’s Facebook Page.

Update 1/13:  Here they are@ Voelcker’s

Old Forge Brewing–3rd Anniversary 12/5

From Carey @ Old Forge Brewing:

Just wanted to let you know that we will be celebrating our 3rd Anniversary this coming Monday, December 5th. We are opening for special hours from 4pm-10pm (we're typically closed on Mondays). We're also tapping one barrel of our limited-release Bourbon Barrel Quad to commemorate the occasion. We'll be serving complimentary birthday cake and playing some games with some prize giveaways, as well.

As it happens, our birthday coincides with the anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition so there are two reasons to celebrate!

Old Forge Brewing Co–Fall 2011 News

Just a few highlights from the Old Forge Brewing Co Fall 2011 Newsletter:

Single Malt Fuggle was the customer-appreciation week favorite from Damien’s single malt series (Saaz, Liberty, & Fuggles).  Upcoming beers include Hop Mama Amber, Smashin’ Pumpkin, Hank the Belgian Stout (in honor of Damien & Maria’s newborn Hank), & a Bourbon Barrel Aged Belgian Quad (to be released for their 3rd anniversary).

The production brewery is progressing…floors are ready and all the new equipment is on-site awaiting installation.  Justin James (new head brewer) & Jason Vansickle (cellarman) have both joined the OFBC team as well….so it’s exciting to see things moving forward.  Cheers & Congratulations!

Old Forge Brewing–Single Malt Fuggles & Baconfest!

Just heard from Damien @ Old Forge Brewing :

This week we tapped up the last of our single malt/single hop series, Single Malt Fuggles. In a few weeks we will have all three of the them (Saaz, Liberty, Fuggles) on tap simultaneously so people can try them side by side. All the beers used Vienna as the lone malt, and were brewed exactly the same with the only difference being the hop variety. It has been immensely popular in the pub and we may do something similar in the future.

Next week we are having a Baconfest at the pub. Tons of bacon - our menu will be baconized for one week. We'll be having pork trivia, chocolate covered bacon, and we're tapping up some of the Old Forge Rauchbier, with its sweet and smoky character it will perfectly complement all the bacon.

WILK Friday BeerBuzz–5 Aug 2011 (Old Forge Brewing w/Damien Malfara)

Back in Oct 2010 we welcomed Damien Malfara from Old Forge Brewing in Danville, PA on to the Friday BeerBuzz to sample his Smashin’ Pumpkin Ale.  The beer was great, and Damien was a great guest…so it was only natural that we’d want to get Damien back on for another visit and to sample some more great brews.

I have to thank Damien in advance since he’s up to his ears in the opening of an Old Forge Brewing Co Packaging Brewery.   We brought you the news back in March, but it was a lot more fun to hear Damien describe the new facility. 

Look for a new 20bbl brewing system to be in place (located at the former TRW plant on Market St in Danville) but I think I was most excited to hear a few things.  First off watch for 16oz cans of Old Forge Brewing Co Beers to be released into our market.  Initially I’m expecting to see  Endless Summer and T-Rail Pale Ale (the beers we sampled today), but I suspect we’ll see even more beers in cans from OFBC as time allows.  You can check out the announcement here for Endless Summer and T-Rail cans.

I think what was most exciting to hear for me was the news that Damien would be using the original brewpub system to experiment and perhaps even brew some specialty 750ml bottles and even come barrel aged beers.  Very exciting news for Damien and for our local craft beer community….so stay tuned for some upcoming OFBC beers coming soon.

Thanks

to  Damien Malfara from Old Forge Brewing Co, Nancy, John, Joe, and Bosco for yet another fun Friday. 

The Friday BeerBuzz…bringing good beers and good people together.
