Bridgid’s is set to tap its “down draft,” a gravity tap where beer flows from the third to the first floor creating one smooth pour.

To celebrate they’re going to tap a 5-liter cask (20 pints) of Yards Love Stout followed by Yards ESA.

It all starts at tomorrow at 7 and you can of course hang out to make it a night with the Phillies.

The kickoff of the NFL season is upon us as the Steelers and Titans face off this evening. Oddly there isn’t a football special to be seen in Philadelphia Weekly or City Paper this week. But hey,that’s why there’s the Internet!

Here’s what we know that’s going on:

Tonight, Jose Pistola’s is kicking off the NFL season with Troegs Brewing Co. There will be a firkin of Nugget Nectar, Dead Reckoning Porter and even a keg of Mad Elf for the night.

Also on each Sunday during the NFL season Jose’s will be offering, $3 Sly Fox Pils and Pale Ale cans plus $3 Ithaca Apricot Wheat. They’re also introducing the “Surf & Turf Bloody Mary.” A be a gourmet hot dog, wing and breakfast taco menu will round out the offerings.

Misconduct Tavern is doing an NFL Club this season. Join the club for $30 and you are entitled to a special menu of apps, sandwiches and beer packages at a special price of $25. For instance you could get balsamic glazed ribs, Misconduct Chicken Cheesesteak and 4 pints of Kenzinger. You do more that two weeks and you’ll be ahead. Not a terrible way to build up some loyalty. And of course the menu will change so you won’t get bored.

Bridgid’s has a Longtrail Brewmaster Promo tonight. They’ve got Imperial Porter, Belgian White, Coffee Stout and Double IPAs for just $4.

Update: The Piazza at Schmidt’s is throwing a big party for the Eagles/Carolina game. It starts at 11am when Vino kicks off its $15 sandwich and drink deal. The game will be televised on the big screen in the Piazza and you can even rent a cabana for you and up to 10 friends. After the game ends, ?uestlove will be DJ-ing the last of the season’s Sundae parties.

It’s National Watermelon Day and the death defying Beer Lass is behind the bar at Bridgid’s, pouring Roy Pitz Watermelon Lager.

There may seem to be a Beer Week event at every bar but it will be hard to beat the beers being featured at Bridgid’s tonight. The new release, Duvel Green will be pouring and there is also Maredsous Blonde plus Ommegang’s Chocolat Indulgence, Three Philosophers and Abbey Ale. Mmmmm, mmmmmm!

Bridgid’s is enjoying the snow today. They’re offering $3 Legacy Nor’easter to celebrate the Nor’easter snow storm plus all Yards beers for just $3.

There’s even talk of a 5pm snowman contest.

Fairmount’s Bridgid’s is a good spot that combines tasty food, with good prices and great beer. Phoodie.info highlights the $5 Bowl of Chili and beer special. They can keep their Miller High Life but we’d gladly wash down the chili with Yards Brawler or Sly Fox Dunkel Lager.

And today, Meal Ticket excitedly exclaims that you should eat Bridgid’s brunch “immediately.”

The spirit of the great pumpkin will be flowing through the taps of Bridgid’s in Fairmount.  This weekend there will be seven pumpkin beers on draft including Southern Tier, Southhampton, Dogfish Head, Wolaver’s Organic, New Holland and Elysian.

Pair the pumpkin beers with a three course, $25 pumpkin-centric menu that will include the likes of a Poor Man’s Beef Wellington with Pumpkin Demi Glace and Pumpkin Mousse Cannolis.

If you bring your own pumpkin they’ll carve it up and fill it with the beer of your choice!
