The granddaddy of all beers weeks and the most Belgo-philic is coming up at the end of May. It is a real honor that rising star Belgian brewer was chosen to be the host brewer to create Philly Tripel.
The brew at Dilewyns happened Thursday, February 13th with Justin Low representing Dock Street and Anne-Catherine Dilewyns welcoming the brewer and Philly delegation. The Philly Tripel will debut at the end of May and then make its way to the rest of the country in very limited quantities as of mid-June. Next month we will make pre-orders available. Follow our blog and Facebook for updates on the PBW project. We had lovely time in Belgium with the Philadelphia crew.
Philly Beer Week brew, a creation that is kept secret and sworn in blood for those involved. The creation will only be revealed and released on the magical evening of Opening Tap.
Justin and Dock Street have been making waves stateside with a roster of award-winning classic brews and the introduction of several new and innovative styles. Meanwhile, in Belgium brewer Anne-Catherine Dilewyns has been getting major street cred as the youngest female brewer in the country, with an impressive CV of extraordinary beers to her name. Dilewyn’s pedigree in brewing is just as impressive as her talents for churning out fantastic brews. Her great-great grandmother founded and ran a brewery in 1875, which operated until WWII when the kettles were confiscated to make bullets for the war..
The significance of Dilewyn’s – and her great-great-grandmother’s – girl power in a male-dominated industry is not lost on Dock Street, which was co-founded and is owned and operated by Rosemarie Certo and a cast of strong female leaders that includes VP Marilyn Candeloro and Head Chef Melissa Bauman.

AVAILABILITY: End May in Philadelphia and elsewhere in the country as of mid June.
