Saturday afternoon and the snow was coming down. I wasn't going to go to TJ's Restaurant and Drinkery for the anniversary celebration but the snow changed my mind. Always the contrarian, if people are going to stay away because of the snow I am going to go. I will have all that good beer to myself. Boy was I wrong. The place was packed. But...since I was there already I made my way inside and ordered a Pliny the Elder from Russian River Brewing Company. As I have stated before (and as evidenced by the "Favorite IPA's" at the top of this blog) this is a great DIPA. I had to drink it standing up as I was unable to get a seat due to the crowd. One of my beer drinking rules is that I will drink one beer standing up. If a seat does not become available by the time that one is done I will not stand for another. So despite the fact that they had a phenomenal lineup on, it was time to go.
Next stop was the Sly Fox in Phoenixville. I thought it was kind of funny that on this cold and snowy night I was in the mood for a Royal Weisse but that is what I ordered. I placed a to-go request for a couple orders of hot wings and crab dip and a Renard D'or for the wait. This Belgian-style golden is a nice change of pace but it is not as good as their Saison Vos.
