My Local Brew Works (MLBW), the world’s first custom craft brewery, is raising a pint to Red October with their signature celebratory beer, Philly Phinger — a hoppy Kolsch hybrid blending the best of German and American flavor profiles. Ringing it at 4.6% and boasting a smooth taste, Philly Phinger was crafted for and by Phillies fanatics as a go-to sip through playoffs, symbolizing of their love and pride for their city, as well as infamous enthusiasm for the team. In the words of Wayne Humphrey, Co-Founder of My Local Brew Works: “When your friend asks for a beer, give them the ‘Phinger!”
Philly Phinger is on tap now at Center City’s Butcher Bar, with additional surprise locations to be announced as the Phillies advance (knock on wood) throughout the post-season!
