This holiday season, give a present that’s as tasty as it is thoughtful. My Local Brew Works (MLBW), Philadelphia’s premier nano-brewery specializing in custom craft contract brewing, turns gifting into an unforgettable experience with its Custom Craft Brewing Package, offering beer aficionados and novices alike the chance to create their very own craft brew from start to finish.
With decades of combined brewing experience garnered between Co-Founder/Brand Ambassador Wayne Humphrey, Co-Founder/Head Brewer Tim Montague, and Grain Master/Philly icon/award-winning beer novelist, George Hummel, MLBW’s accoladed team brings together passionate artisans, skilled technicians, and creative innovators in the name of great beer.
Whether gifted as a signature family keg for festive gatherings, a personalized brew shared between best buds, or a thank-you to hardworking employees, My Local Brew Works’ expert team leads guests through the process of customizing the perfect beer for the occasion; consulting on beer styles, brew names, and custom label designs – from clever office-inspired names to heartfelt holiday messages – for a one-of-a-kind touch that’s as personal as it is delicious.
A toast to the importance of community and craftsmanship, MLBW’s Custom Craft Brewing Package includes:
- A pre-brew day consultation on beer theme, style, quantity, and other factors held over the phone or in-person at the brewery
- A tour of Globe Dye Works led by the My Local Brew Works team
- A tour of the brewery and discussion of hops, grain bill, yeast selection, aroma sampling mashing process, and more, followed by start of brewing
- Catered lunch with beer tastings and samples
- Post-lunch brewing with final hops (and other additives)
- A celebratory toast with MLBW beer and branded gifts given to all guests
Pricing varies based on a number of factors including the volume of beer brewed, fermentation time, ingredients, label design, and catering preferences, but averages at $120 per person.
“The holidays are time of gathering, and we want to bring back that communal aspect to brewing beer,” says Wayne Humphrey, co-founder of MLBW, “No other brewery is letting you add grain or pitch the hops yourself; everything is automized and behind glass. They say it’s the thought that counts, but we think the experience is so much more powerful.”
