From 1-4pm, Tröegs award-winning beers will be available for sampling in front of the Beer Yard. The beer samples will be accompanied by a variety of tasty food treats from Teresa's Next Door, the popular Belgian-themed bar located on North Wayne Avenue. Famous Kirby's will also be on hand with samples of their popular pretzeis.

Every case of Tröegs beer sold ALL WEEKEND (Friday through Monday) will benefit the Delco SPCA to the tune of $6 .00 (this includes $5 per cans pledged by The Beer Yard and Tröegs Brewing and $1 just pledged by an anonymous customer---anyone else wanting to add a matching pledge is more than welcome to do so; just email us).

All profits from the food menu, which will feature $1 hot dogs as a specialty, will also go to that worthy cause. Additionally, every customer buying a case of Tröegs will receive a free logo-ed pint glass.

"We will be pouring our year-round beers, several seasonals brews and maybe even a few surprises that will make you scratch, but not from the fleas," says Nick Johnson, regional sales representative for the brewery.

Matt Guyer, owner of The Beer Yard noted that "while you don't have to be here Saturday afternoon o make a contribution--just buy a case of Tröegs any time this weekend, we sure hope you'll come by, say hello and enjoy the party."--JACK CURTIN
