Hood: Rittenhouse09.28.19
We are thrilled to once again host Zwanze Day, Brasserie Cantillon’s celebration of irreverence with a unique brew, simultapped around the world on Saturday, September 28 at 3pm Eastern.
Notes from Brasserie Cantillon on this year’s beer:
“The beer for this year’s Zwanze was brewed in March 2016 and kegged January 26th 2018. Contrary to past Zwanze beers, this beer is not the result of a special blend or the addition of a special fruit, but of a wholly unique brew. On March 1st 2016, we brewed a smoked Lambic using a blend of classic pilsner malt and smoked malt. Rather than taking the beer to an extreme, we looked instead to find a balance between the acidic character of Lambic and the woodiness of the smoked malt. The result is a fine Gueuze with the classic notes of a Cantillon, complemented by an elegant smokiness in the nose and on the palate.”
Monk’s will open at NOON with 25 rare and exciting drafts, including SEVEN Cantillon, available before the 3pm tapping of Zwanze. All draft beer is CASH ONLY and the full price of every draft beer, including Zwanze, will directly benefit two local nonprofits: Broad Street Hospitality Collaborative and Women Against Abuse.
This event is unticketed, pay-as-you-go, and cash only. People do line up early for this. If you are in the building at 3pm you will get a glass of Zwanze so don’t panic. All taps will be available at noon, excluding Zwanze at 3pm.
