Chances are you’ve already seen the Game of
Thrones season three premier at least once. And for most, once may suffice. But for those
with an insatiable thirst for fantasy the place to be tonight is Old Eagle
Tavern in Manayunk.
A replay of Sunday’s new episode may draw a few
fans, but it’s specialty brew and the medieval menu that’s really the news.
Old Eagle Tavern has obtained a stash of the
Ommengang Iron Throne, a collabo beer between the brewery and HBO. Ommengang
Iron Throne is a 750 ml bottle of blonde ale brewed with pils, honey malt and
red wheat. It’s the first of four limited release beers created for the third
season and is already sold out in most area shops [American Sardine Bar announced that they tapped a keg just yesterday, but there's not telling how long it will last].
Old Eagle Tavern’s chef Morgan Malachi has a
menu full of medieval fantasy with dishes including roasted turkey legs with a
fiery dragon sauce, a dragon egg appetizer (spicy deviled eggs) and dragon
chili sauced corn on the cob.
So pull up a stool and enjoy a horn of ale
that’s made from the stuff of legends. And while you’re eating your turkey leg,
don’t forget to thank the old gods and the new - for the long summer to come. Cause
here in Philly, winter is over!
