Here’s a quick look at our first 2013 Leon brew day.  This a monster of a beer to make, overall 12 hours from start to finish.  Enjoy!

Then you may just have what it takes to be a professional Brewer.

Having opened in June of 2012, Neshaminy Creek Brewing is one of the Philadelphia area’s newest and fastest growing production breweries. In the nine short months since opening we have reached nearly 2000 barrels in production and just recently started bottling beer for more widespread distribution throughout the Philadelphia, Eastern and Central Pennsylvania, and New Jersey markets. Operating on a 15 barrel direct fire JV Northwest brew house, we currently have 285 barrels of fermentation and lagering capacity, and look to add addition fermentation and lagering capacity in the coming months to help meet the growing demand for our draft and bottled offerings.

We’re currently accepting resumes and interviewing to fill an unpaid Brewing Internship position for Spring 2013, with the opportunity and possibility of full-time employment consideration following. Ideal candidates should have a broad range of brewing experience, including but not limited to any of the following: homebrewing, brew school certification from Siebel, UC Davis, or the American Craft Brewers Guild, four year college degree program with a focus on beer or commerical beverage production, a college degree in General Science, Biology, or Chemistry, BJCP judge certification, or previous brewery work experience.

Canidates must be able to commit 16 hours a week (Monday through Friday), and occasional weekends to working both inside and outside the brewery. You must be self-motivated, determined, hardworking, and think quickly on your feet. Brewery work is back breaking, long hour days, rarely spent staring at a glass of beer judging it for it’s qualities and waxing poetic about the times. This is hard, demanding work, but also very rewarding.

Beer geeks and snobs need not apply.

If you think you’ve got what it takes wrestle 558 gallons of wort, please forward a cover letter and resume in PDF format to neshaminycreekbrewing[at]yahoo.com. Cover letters and resumes in any other format will not be accepted and your consideration will be automatically withdrawn. All applicants must apply by Friday, March 22nd and will be contacted directly for an interview if considered.

Thank you, and good luck!

The time has come to unleash this beast unto the world!

Coconut Mudbank Milk Stout is a very limited variation of our Mudbank Milk Stout brewed with coconut milk, coconut cream, and ‘dry nutted’ with copious amounts of shredded coconut, all at a lovely 7.2% ABV. We only brewed 18 barrels of this, and by the time we rack it off we’ll probably be down to 14 barrels, and even a little less after we bottle and keg this beer. That means…..we don’t have a lot of this beer!

We are going to bottle 1000 twenty-two (22) oz. bomber bottles, and that’s it. Most will be sold at the brewery, the remaining bottles and cases will make their way into the market, but there won’t be a lot, and there’s no saying where they’ll end up. The only way to guarantee yourself a bottle would be to come to the brewery this weekend. After that, you’re on your own.

There will also be no growler fills of this beer at the brewery. NONE! Only bottles. You have been forewarned.

There will be a limited amount of 1/2 BBL and 1/6 BBL on draft at area bars and restaurants. We’ve also got a few events coming up in the coming weeks where this beer will be one of the featured beers involved with some awesome beer launches and tap takeovers.

22 oz. bottles are $10/each at the brewery. Limit of three bottles per customer. Doors open at 12 noon on Saturday. Don’t miss out, and hope to see you there.

All our year round beers except Tribute Tripel will now be $12 a growler fill.  Tribute will be $15 a growler fill and most of seasonals will be either $15 or $18 depending on the beer.

So, that sucks, right?  To help make up for that, we’re going to continue to offer a weekly special on growler fills.  Now that football Sundays are over until the Fall, what’s next?  Hockey Thursdays, that’s what!

Hockey is back, and from now until a team hoists the Cup ALL growler fills will be $2 off on Thursdays!

Gotta take the good with the bad.

Mudbank Milk Stout is a 6.5% ABV stout brewed with lactose sugar for a nice, sweet finish, and flaked oats for nice rounded body and mouthfeel. With hints of chocolate, dark toasted bread, and roasted coffee, Mudbank has a nice smooth finish with a lingering malt sweetness in the aftertaste that’s only available in January and February.

Hope to see you Friday!
