So Sam Krieg, Ben Brishcar, and myself…
upon discovering the existence of a “Walt Wit” belgian-style ale at the Philadelphia Brewing Co. felt we had no other choice but to scurry to Pennsylvania to retrieve it. These are a few images from our journey.
“Afoot and light-hearted [we] took to the open road, / Healthy, free, the [beer] before [us], / The long brown path before [us] leading wherever [we] choose” (297)
Whitman AND Lincoln told us we were on the right path…
The lovely Philadelphia… the quest leaves the interstate…
Whitmanesque graffiti
A slightly disheveled bunch arriving at the brewery.
Our destination!
The side of the bottle reads, “The American poet Walt Whitman once portrayed a sunset over Philadelphia as,’…a broad tumble of clouds, with much golden haze and profusion of beaming shaft and dazzle.’ Pour yourself a bottle of Walt Wit Belgian Style White Ale and see what he was talking about . A pinch of spice and a whisper of citrus lend complexity to this fragrant, satisfying ale.
Walt Wit – it’s transcendentally delicious.”
Fun! I love the incidental glimpse of multi-culti graffiti, which seems to have at least a couple of authors behind it. One of those things you could never plan on.
Great road trip post, Chelsea. I love that you were wearing your Whitman goggles and kept your eyes open for all these trail-markings leading you to the prize. Cheers!
