When we heard that Philadelphia’s Memphis Taproom, is celebrating Boxing Day, the first thing that came to our minds here at DRAFTMag.com was, isn’t that a Canadian holiday?
Although it might be a little strange, Philadelphia’s Memphis Taproom IS hosting the Boxing Day Beer Festival, December 26 in celebration of holiday cheer and beers.
In case you’re wondering — Boxing Day, the day-after-Christmas tradition, originated in England and is predominantly celebrated in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is a day that historically has been for servants of any kind to receive a Christmas box of gifts from the people they serve.
So to honor the holiday season, Memphis Taproom will be serving some of the best Holiday & Seasonal Ales from around the world, all Boxing Day long.
Expect brews like Brasserie DuPont Avec Les Bon Voeux, Corsendonk Christmas Ale, Troegs Mad Elf Ale, Sly Fox Christmas Ale, Harviestoun’s Old Engine Oil, Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, Great Divide Hibernation Ale, Maredsous 6, and Mahr’s Christmas Bock, to name a few.
In addition to celebrating great beer, Memphis Taproom will also be celebrating the spirit of Boxing Day by collecting canned food and gently used winter coats and warm blankets for donation to Philabundance and Philadelphia-based Mercy Neighborhood Ministries.
Earn $1 off each draft you have by bringing in a coat, a blanket, or 3 cans of food!
