9th Annual
BIERFEST 2020!
POWERED BY PHILLY ROLLER DERBY
Bierfest is jointly hosted by the ferocious female athletes of the skater-owned Philly Roller Derby, who are proudly pouring to raise funds for their new practice facility and for their national tournament travel schedule, and the German Society of Pennsylvania, the nation's oldest German-American cultural organization founded in 1762. Proceeds from Bierfest also benefit the Brewers of Pennsylvania, a trade advocacy group working to empower PA brewers and serve the interests of PA beer lovers.
TASTE PA's LAGERS,
WEIZENS & BOCKS
Discover Pennsylvania beers made in German-inspired styles in the main PA Beer Hall, honoring our state’s extensive historical and cultural ties to Germany.
Fans of Germany's legendary beer styles will find a diverse and delicious range of beers from over 20 Pennsylvania breweries that hail from every part of this great state. Not simply Pilsners and Lagers, but Dunkels and Weizens,
Kölsches and Altbiers, Maibocks and Doppelbocks, Schwarzbiers and Rauchbiers, plus Zwickels and Zoigls and Goses! Oh My!
SAMPLE IMPORTS
FROM GERMANY
Savor the rainbow of flavors possible using only malt, hops, yeast and water in accordance with Germany’s famed ‘Reinheitsgebot’ beer purity law dating to 1516. Taste over 20 beer brands that hail from Germany (and other German-speaking zones of Europe) upstairs in the German Beer Hall or cruise a stunning array of imported suds at The Foodery Speakeasy & Import Bar, hosted by Philly's favorite bottle shop. Step out to the Alpine Firepit in the Winter Wunderbar Terrace to enjoy rare German craft beers on tap al fresco, like Braufactum's Progusta I.P.A. and the world's finest doppelbock, Ayinger Celebrator.
