Today is the 58th birthday of Tom Kehoe, founder of Yards Brewing, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Tom’s been a fixture of the Philly beer scene as long as I can remember, at at least since 1996. He’s one of those people that you feel like you’ve known for years, even when you first meet him. And he’s a terrifically talented brewer, too. Tom was also kind enough to speak at the North American Guild of Beer Writers’ first symposium a few years ago when CBC was in Philly the first time. Join me in wishing Tom a very happy birthday.
Yards Extra Special Ale is a beer like no other. I always pick up a sixer to bring home to Florida when I’m visiting family in PA.
I had a few pints of Yards brews when I was @ Citizen’s Bank Park a few years ago – excellent product!
