Fall has become the unofficial beer festival season, coinciding with Oktoberfest and Halloween festivities. This year, New Ridge Brewing Company is joining the party by hosting Taps Under the Towers at Roxborough Pocket Park.
The beer fest, which takes place on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 1-5 p.m., will feature more than 20 local breweries, food and live music.

Tickets are $60 and include unlimited 5 oz beer samples. The Mitchell Street Phillbillies will play rock and roll and folk music, and Green Meadow Farm will roast a pig. Other food options, including falafel, pasta salad and grilled corn on the cob, will be available.
A portion of the ticket sales will be donated to Friends of the Wissahickon, which helps conserve over 1,800 acres of Wissahickon Valley Park.
“Taps Under the Towers is a beer fest that we have wanted to do since we opened a little over three years ago,” said Eric Endrikat, co-owner of New Ridge Brewing Company. “We just wanted a good day for the neighborhood, filled with a bunch of amazing beers from our friends’ breweries.
