The Gang reviews Yards on tap, RACHEL PETERS EDITION:

“PYNK. Ah yes, the fall berry ale. Weighing in at 5.5% this tart, cherry and raspberry ale takes it time seducing you with a vibrant color and dangerously smooth drinkability. Plus, I'll drink any beer that matches my hair color.”

Stand-Up Comedy Comes to Yards Brewing Co. 6/23

Laughter and pints to flow at brand new showcase

PHILADELPHIA, June 12, 2017 - The Laughs On Philly stand-up comedy collective and Yards Brewing Company  are teaming up for the first time to present “Comedy Untapped,” Friday, June 23rd at 7:30pm. Four of the tri-state area’s funniest comics will take the stage as patrons enjoy a selection Yard’s finest brews on tap. Comedy fans have grown accustomed to a two-drink minimum, but “Comedy Untapped” flips this concept on its head by giving away two free drink tickets to each audience member. It’s the perfect way to get up to speed on Yards’ ever-growing draft list and Philadelphia’s burgeoning independent comedy scene!

“The crew at Laughs loves comedy, and we love good beer,” says Laughs On Philly’s creative director Alejandro Morales, “So teaming up with Yards to showcase some of our favorites, and drink some of our favorites, felt like a natural partnership.”
