Another Friendly Wager

Seems like everyone in Philadelphia is in a gambling mood! (But lets be honest, is it really gambling when you know you’re gonna win?). Just like Yards Brewing Company and Saint Arnold Brewing Company having a friendly wager, so is Triple Bottom Brewing through the Mayor of Philadelphia having a friendly wager against the Mayor of Houston.

Mayor Jim Kenney’s tweet:

You can find Mayor Jim Kenney’s Twitter Here: Mayor Jim Kenney @ Philly Mayor.

Lets Meet the Competitors

And no, I’m not gonna go into the mayors involved, but into the breweries involved. (Because lets be honest, how many of you are coming to The Beer Thrillers to learn about the Mayor of Houston?)

First up, let’s start with Triple Bottom Brewing (since the Phillies are winning anyway):

Triple Bottom Brewing

All information comes from Untappd. Triple Bottom Brewing is a micro brewery from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They ave 75 unique beers and 12,000~ ratings with a global average rating of 3.75 (as of 10.28.22). They have no Untappd description.

Now let’s go into the loser’s locker room with…

I am super – super – super – super pumped for the World Series this year!

Grease up the poles! I’m thinking Phillies in 6!

A Friendly Wager

A great ‘tradition’ that has popped up around the big sports championships each year seems to be city vs. city craft brewery bets / wagers. First time I remember seeing it was when Sam Adams challenged Sweet Water Brewery back in 2017 over Super Bowl 51…. and well, we all know how that turned out (the infamous 28 – 3). (You can read about it here: Sam Adams Issues a High Steaks Challenge to Atlanta Based Brewery). Over the years there’s been lots of breweries who have participated in these types of bets and challenges and wagers. City brewery vs. city brewery. Usually with stuff like a case on the line, or having to keep the other brewery’s beers on tap, or having to make a beer in honor of the winning team, etc.

I just want to point out that as a Phillies fan – ya’ll know who I’m rooting for in this wager.

Terms of the Agreement

As announced today, on all of the social media platforms for both Yards Brewing Company and Saint Arnold Brewing Company, the wager is simple – “WHEN the Phils win, Saint Arnold himself will pose for a photo with Yards beer, our merch, and a Phils flag. IF Houston wins the Series, we will have to share a photo of us drinking Saint Arnold Beer, wearing Saint Arnold merch, and holding the ‘Stros flag. It is a win-win deal!” (Yards Brewing Company.)

Here is the full announcement by both challengers:

Yards Brewing Company:

Game on! Saint Arnold Brewing Company in Houston is feeling pretty confident so we challenged them to a bet they couldn’t resist:

WHEN the Phils win, Saint Arnold himself will pose for a photo with Yards beer, our merch, and a Phils flag. IF Houston wins the Series, we will have to share a photo of us drinking Saint Arnold Beer, wearing Saint Arnold merch, and holding the ‘Stros flag. It is a win-win deal!

Then we thought, “Let’s make it a win-win-WIN!” Yards will donate $1 of every pint of Philly Standard sold in our taproom on game days to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region and Saint Arnold will donate $1 of every pint of H-Town Pils sold during Series games to Kids’ Meals, Inc. regardless of the outcome.

Now let’s start drinking and helping. #GoPhils#RedOctober#MadeByPhila

Saint Arnold Brewing Company:

Game on!

Yards Brewing Co., in Philadelphia, is feeling pretty confident and they are challenging us to a bet we couldn’t resist.

If Astros win the World Series, Yards Brewing will have to share a photo drinking Saint Arnold Beer, wearing Saint Arnold merch, and holding the Astros flag that we are going to mail to them. If the Phils win (very unlikely), Saint Arnold himself will pose for a photo with Yards Brewing beer, their merch, and Phillies flag. It is a win-win deal!

Then we thought, “Let’s make it a win-win-WIN!” Saint Arnold will donate $1 of every pint of H-Town Pils sold during the World Series games to Kids Meals Houston Kids’ Meals, Inc. and Yards Brewing will donate $1 of every pint of Philly Standard sold in their taproom through the end of the series to Ronald McDonald House Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region.

Now let’s start drinking and helping. Go ’Stros!

Oh, we almost forgot! Yards Brewing, what kind of beer would you like us to send when we win? Art Car IPA is a good one to drink the pain away.

Its so great to see that these two breweries are going a step above and beyond with their wager and involving the local communities and charities.

• Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region
• Kids Meals Houston Kids’ Meals, Inc.

Updates

(Some friendly banter posts that both breweries have posted on their Facebook pages.)

Saint Arnold Brewing Company (10.31.22):

Yards Brewing Co. are you ready for game 3?

abc13.com

Saint Arnold Brewery and Yards Brewing Company make friendly bet against World Series teams

The bet? The losing company must wear the winning team’s merch and hoist the team’s flag inside the beer halls.

Saint Arnold Brewing Company (10.31.22):

H-Town is ready for game 3! If you couldn’t make the trip to Philadelphia, we’ve got you covered! Come to the Beer Garden and watch the World Series on the Super Screen.

What’s better than drinking Saint Arnold beer during the World Series games? Drinking Saint Arnold beer and knowing that the more you drink, the more you help. Don’t forget that Saint Arnold will donate $1 of every pint of H-Town Pils sold at the Beer Garden & Restaurant during the World Series games to Kids Meals Houston Kids’ Meals, Inc..

If you happen to be in Philadelphia for the World Series, you can also drink and help there! Yards Brewing Co. in Philadelphia will donate $1 of every pint of Philly Standard sold in their taproom through the end of the series to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region.

We have a special connection with Yards Brewing Co. because they challenged us to a bet that we couldn’t resist and they will probably regret. If Astros win the World Series, Yards Brewing will have to share a photo drinking Saint Arnold Beer, wearing Saint Arnold merch, and holding the Astros flag. If the Phils win (very unlikely), Saint Arnold himself will pose for a photo with Yards Brewing beer, their merch, and Phillies flag. We will be sending them some Hideaway, cause that’s what they are going to do when we win.

Now let’s drink, help and win!

Yards Brewing Company (10.29.22):

Real Ale? More like Real(Ale)muto! Sunday, Nov 13th, we’re opening up our entire facility & allowing guests to roam the brewery & enjoy rare, one-of-a-kind cask-conditioned brews from Philly area breweries & beyond! Tickets at the link! https://bit.ly/YardsRealAle2022

Yards Brewing Company (10.29.22):

Game 2 Time! $5 20oz Philly Standard and Philly Standard Lime during all Philly v Houston Championship Baseball games in the taproom! We know it’s a picture of a can, but catching a pint of beer in a glove would have been a mess. #GoPhils #RedOctober #MadeByPhila

Yards Brewing Company (10.30.22):

Looks like Houston managed to avoid the sweep, time to bury ’em at The Bank. ICYMI, we’ve got a wager with Saint Arnold Brewing Company. WHEN the Phils win, Saint Arnold himself will pose for a photo with Yards beer, our merch, and a Phils flag. IF Houston wins the Series, we will have to share a photo of us drinking Saint Arnold Beer, wearing Saint Arnold merch, and holding the ‘Stros flag.

In addition, Yards will donate $1 of every pint of Philly Standard sold in our taproom on game days to Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House and Saint Arnold will donate $1 of every pint of H-Town Pils sold during Series games to Kids’ Meals, Inc. Everyone wins, but mostly Philly.

Citizens Bank Park

Citizens Bank Park is home to the Philadelphia Phillies and is also a music venue at times.

It is roughly a two hour to two and a half hour drive from Harrisburg.

Its a beautiful ballpark, and is where the Phillies won their World Series in 2008.

Thanks For Reading

As of right now, I might be running out there for the evening session – it all depends. I have the Hummelstown Hunger Run (5K) at 10AM in Hummelstown. And then Amy and myself might be coming out there, or doing brewery hopping, or who knows what, all dependent on her job and what all we need to do. The next day then (Sunday morning) is the ‘Breweries in PA’ beer share at Pour Man’s Brewing, that we are also hoping to attend. Hopefully we’ll see you out at one of the events.

Saturday (May 14th) is also the Best Brunch Beer Fest in Pittsburgh. If you are going to that, you can read about it here: Best Beer Brunch Ever. I would love to get to go to this, but its too far and given the 5K run is at the same time, we won’t be able to make it.

Also, we are working with Drunk Phils Fans to give you a heads up look at their beer collab that will be dropping on May 21st. They paired up with Rotunda Brewing Company to make a Phillies beer inspired beer. We can’t wait to try it!

Cheers!
