PUT THE ‘PUB’ IN PUBLIC GARDEN: Beer Tasting and Food Pairing Friday, October 14

Press Release:

According to Ben Franklin, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”  So grab your favorite beer drinking friends and come to Reeves-Reed Arboretum on Friday, October 14 to sample select beers from Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company, perfectly paired with gourmet delicacies.

A beer tasting is a wonderful (and according to Franklin, perhaps celestial) place where you can sample a wide variety of quality micro-brew beers.  Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company will be on hand to offer selections from their full-time styles of brews as well as a variety of seasonal beers.  Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company is a new, award-winning local craft brewery located in Croydon, PA.  Pennsylvania breweries are known for world-class lagers.  Utilizing the water from the Neshaminy Creek, brews from here have been described as having resinous pine notes, balanced with creamy hints of citrusy lemon and grapefruit, that nicely complement and harmonize with food.

Put the ‘Pub’ in Public Garden is a fundraiser for the Arboretum.  Admission to the evening’s flavorful festivities is $45 per person for RRA members ($50 pp for non-members).  Reservations are requested.  Please call Doreen Schindler at 908-273-8787 x 1010, or d.schindler@reeves-reedarboretum.org to purchase your tickets.  You may also sign up on line at www.reeves-reedarboretum.org.  RSVP by October 11.
