After an ambitious day of taking friends to see old sites, like Al Capone’s cell at Eastern State Penitentiary, the Rocky statue at the very awesome Philadelphia Art Museum, the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Ben Franklin’s Grave and the Betsy Ross House to name a few, we headed-up our second ambitious undertaking of the day with preparation courtesy of Geno’s Cheesesteaks: Visiting two Belgian beer bars in one evening.
The Eulogy is a tiny little place near the waterfront on Chestnut Street on the edge of Society Hill. The buildling housed the original Bailey, Banks & Biddle jeweler, which is a pretty famous store if you’re from the northeast. The tavern is lovely. It’s old, dark and creaky—pretty much everything a Belgian beer bar should be. The owner is Belgian, which always helps. We quickly ordered up a fantastic cheese plate with fruit and got to work with a crew of beer tasters and a patient waiter named Billy. Highlight of the beer menu? Not what you would expect. You might not be able to read it above, but the horizontal line at bottom of the menu picture reads: T&A TV Ad Beers (i.e. Water) We’ll serve you if you’ll pay $4 for ‘em.
Here is the list of the deliciousness shared there:
Blaugies La Moneuse
Weyerbacher Insanity
Fantome Chocolat
Three Floyd’s Alpha Klaus
Harviestoun’s Old Engine Oil Special Reserve
Dogfish Head Raison D’Extra
Pannepot (Belgian, not Danish export)
Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek
