Percy Street’s Beer Can Christmas Tree

December 15, 2011 By Jay Brooks 2 Comments

Here’s a fun one. These are the kinds of press releases that help me get into the spirit of the holidays. The Percy Street Barbecue, a Philadelphia restaurant specializing in barbecue, also carries “over 60 varieties of canned beer” that they serve in custom galvanized steel buckets. Order 5 cans, and the 6th one is free.

For Christmas this year, they created an 8-foot tree made entirely of beer cans, over 400 in all. It “took General Manager Aric Ferrell and Desiree Howie, a staff member and local artist, over 12 hours to assemble.”

Now that’s the spirit. Who’s thirsty now.

    They could make a few shekels selling posters of that one!

    Or update that old beer puzzle that should have been retired years ago! Yes! Make a new puzzle of this beautiful tree!
