Root Down Brewing has released a new beer called “BLOBBEER”, to celebrate Blobfest this weekend, July 8th-10th, in Phoenixville.
A percentage of 4-pack sales is going directly to The Colonial Theatre.
Now you’re probably asking: “What is Blobfest?
Blobfest is a yearly celebration of parts of the 1958 horror/sci-fi movie “The Blob”, which stars Steve McQueen.
Parts of the movie were filmed in Phoenixville, and the Colonial Theatre hosts a three-day festival (July 8th-10th) which includes a reenactment of the famous “Run Out Scene” where townspeople flee the theatre, a street fair, costume contests, and a Blob Run, among other activities. Note: Tickets are required for the weekend’s events.

BLOBBEER Details
Blobbeer is available now on draft and 4 packs at the Phoenixville-based Root Down Brewing. This 4.8% unfiltered Belgian-Style Wheat Ale, was conditioned on raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry purée. It’s light and crisp, and a perfect hot weather sipper!
Brewer’s Tasting Notes: Subtle juicy notes of blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry fruit, herbaceous notes of clove and orange peel spice, slight pink peppercorn, low hop character, low hop bitterness, and a very dry finish.
