Isaac’s Taps That: The Moylan Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale
Every Wednesday night, long-time Newtown borough-staple Isaac Newton’s hosts a beer tapping event, bringing in rare brews from around the world to share with local enthusiasts. Last week, Bucks Happening and local beer brewer, Chris McGrath, decided to head over to check it out.
Around 6:30pm, we easily found a couple of seats at the bar and set out to try last week’s special, the Moylan’s Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale – Apple Brandy/Port Barrel blend. Our bartender, John, was both informative and friendly, chatting with several regulars at the bar throughout the night. Although we were disappointed that the manager blew off our meeting, John did his best to fill us in on what he could. (more…)

Celebrating German Culture at Biergarten Evening
This past Friday, August 27th, the Fonthill Museum held their annual Biergarten Evening. In previous years, the event did not focus on any specific beer or style, but offered an extensive array of choices. This year, however, Fonthill looked to Philadelphia Brewing Company and David April to extend his knowledge of German beers to the sold out crowd. The main styles of German beer, the history of German brewing, the German process, and typical ingredients were all up for discussion at this tasting. (more…)
Bucks Happening this Week
On a weekly basis in Bucks County, there is always something fun to do. There are two themes that we decided to highlight this week; cultural fun and free fun. As most members of Bucks can attest to, there is plenty of culture and history to each and every town. Two really great events really jumped out at us this week, the New Hope Arts and Biergarten Evening. We are certainly looking forward to a fantastic weekend. Free movies and shows at TD Bank Ampitheatre and Sellersville theatre will keep families and friends entertained during the first week back to school. Enjoy the last weekend of summer and keep the fun going for the kids as they get back into the classrooms! (more…)
Take a Biplane ride over Philadelphia
There have been so many times that I have seen the beautiful Philadelphia skyline on TV, perfectly captured by a helicopter or plane or even a blimp. While high-def TVs work wonders, nothing can replace the real experience of seeing the city from above. Biplane rides over Philadelphia is offering just that, an opportunity to hop into the open air cockpit of a famous World War II Stearman biplane called the Cannibal Queen. The Cannibal Queen brings its passengers closer to the top of Liberty One than ever before.
Stephanie's in Doylestown
Last week I went to Stephanie’s to watch the Phils and drink some good beer. This sports bar and grill located at the heart of Doylestown offers a lot of fun activities throughout the week. After a rough start to my day, I just wanted to unwind but when I got there, I had a change of heart. With 36 different draft beers on tap I couldn’t help but expand my knowledge of fine microbrews. This all while playing Wednesday Philly sports trivia and watching the Phils. Needless to say my evening took a turn for the better.
Taking a stab at Fencing: Part 2
Last Friday, the BH team and I got to go to the Bucks County Academy of Fencing in Lambertville, NJ. We had been looking for a unique and equally challenging athletic experience and after coming across the Academy, our search did not need to go any further. I was extremely interested in trying my hand at something new. Head Fencing Master Maestro Mark Holbrow, a 36 year veteran of the sport, offered to teach me some of the basics. As a former collegiate soccer player and lifelong hockey advocate, I was confident that I would be able to learn the ropes fairly quickly. Easier said than done. (more…)
