The energy kicks off in November and continues straight through December 31 with happenings with families, sports fans, friends, and out-of-town guests together under one roof. Seasonal and new releases include Long Jawns Winter Lager, Secret Stache charity beer and new Philthy Hazy IPA.
Below is the full overview of everything happening in the next four weeks.
LONG JAWNS WINTER LAGER LAUNCH
The holiday spirit begins with the return of Long Jawns Winter Lager, Yards’ beloved cold-weather seasonal. This dark and malty 6% ABV lager is brewed for chilly nights and makes a perfect companion for holiday gatherings. Long Jawns is available now on draft and in bottles and cans throughout the region, and will be flowing all season long.
SECRET STACHE CHARITY RELEASE
November also marks the launch of Secret Stache, Yards’ annual Movembeer release supporting men’s health programs. This year’s edition is a vibrant and dank 6% Hazy IPA priced at $8 per pint. For every pint sold, Yards will donate $1 to initiatives funded by Movember. Available while supplies last until the last pint is tapped.
SEASONAL LIMITED MENU
Yards’ Seasonal Limited Time Menu brings seasonal comfort to the taproom for the final days of November into the first week of December:
Gobbler Croquettes – $15
Oven-roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, fried crisp and served with gravy and cranberry sauce.
Beef Stew – $16
Hearty beer-braised beef stew served over mashed potatoes.
Apple Crisp à la Mode – $13
Warm fall-spiced apples with a brown sugar oat crumble, served with Bassetts vanilla ice cream.
Secret Stache Hazy IPA – $8
NEW YEAR-ROUND HAZY IPA
Yards also celebrates a year-round addition to its lineup: Philthy Hazy IPA, an unfiltered, full-flavored take on a Hazy IPA that could only be made by Philly. Juicy tropical hops burst with notes of citrus and stone fruit, while a soft, pillowy body keeps every sip smooth and refreshing. Bold without being bitter, Philthy carries the loud-and-proud personality of the city itself.
To complement the launch, Yards introduces Philthy ZERO, the brewery’s first non-alcoholic beer. Philthy ZERO captures the bold tropical flavor profile of Philthy with none of the alcohol, making it a standout option heading into Dry January. Both beers are available now in the taproom and wherever Yards is sold.
HOLIDAY COCKTAILS LAUNCH
Beginning Black Friday, the Yards taproom will debut a new lineup of holiday cocktails, each priced at $12:
* Pomegranate Lemon Drop
A bright and lively twist on a classic, shaken with vodka, pomegranate, and fresh lemon for a crisp, tart, lightly sweet sip.
* Spiced Rum and Blood Orange Frozen Slushie with Lime
A frosty blend of spiced rum, bold blood orange, and lime. Refreshing, citrusy, and smooth with warming spice beneath the chill.
* Cider Bourbon Sour
A cozy, balanced cocktail with bourbon, apple cider, and fresh lemon that tastes like winter in a glass.
New mocktails, each priced at $7, will also be available:
* Cranberry Mint Lime Refresher
Vibrant cranberry balanced with mint and lime for a brisk, zero-proof cooler.
* Pear Lemon Agave Cooler
A clean, bright blend of pear, lemon, and agave with a smooth, refreshing finish.
BLACK FRIDAY: EAGLES WATCH PARTY AND GIFT PROMO
The excitement continues on Friday, November 28, with one of Yards’ biggest watch parties of the year. The Black Friday Eagles Watch Party will feature Trash Talk IPA, Bird Juice, wing specials, and a 10% off merch sale running all weekend long.
