Beer-tober

This time of year is amazing, not only is there great weather but great food and beverage. This time of year when the leaves change color, and the mornings are cool I know Wawa will soon bring back their hot turkey hoagie, oh and its also the best time of the year for beer. Octoberfest and Pumpkin ales are two of the YoCo's favorite adult beverages during Fall/Winter. Check out this great article about the best fall beers to indulge in and upon.

Running, Beer, Friends and Fun in Fishtown

The YoCo's good friend and colleague Annette Monnier, fellow artist and Outreach Coodinator at The Clay Studio is a member of The Fishtown Beer Runners!! And we think this is an amazing concept....why didn't we think of it?!

The Concept
The Fishtown Beer Runners combine responsible running with responsible drinking in the interest of science. They gather once a week to run three to five miles, and conclude each run at a pub for a beer or two.

Their Goals are as follows:

1) To encourage people to exercise by running (or walking)

2) To provide friendly camaraderie for all who hate to exercise

3) To promote the responsible enjoyment of QUALITY beer

4) To support local tavern owners and breweries

5) To promote a ban on spandex


Runs are Thursdays @ 7:00 PM sharp and Saturdays @ 11:30 AM sharp. Start location is 2346 E. Susquehanna Avenue in beautiful Fishtown.
