The Grey Lodge Pub
 2008 Groundhog Day
Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast and
Lucky Cat Night Beer Prognostication

Chase away those mid-winter blues!

OOn Saturday, 02 February 2002 (02/02/02), we started a new tradition at The Grey Lodge Pub, our first annual Groundhog\Lucky Cat Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast. Now it's two, two events in one. We start at 7am with our annual Groundhog Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast. At 10am, we kick off more oddity with Lucky Cat Day, which features Wissinoming Winnie's Beer Prognostication and other fun stuff.


Ground Hog Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast (call out sick day)
To chase away the winter blues and to celebrate Punxatauny Phil's annual prognostication, we open at 7am every Groundhog Day, 02 February, for our Groundhog Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast featuring:

  • Punxatauny Phil's weather prognostication on our 50" flatscreen plasma TV.
  • Prize for best (ugliest?) Hawaiian Shirt, courtesy of Flying Fish.
  • Free leis. 
  • Victory Baltic Thunder Thunder Imitation Contest, with cool Victory prizes. Tracy says it's harder than it sounds. 
  • Don't want to thunder? Try the Victory Baltic Thunder Coloring/Art Contest, also with cool Victory prizes. 
  • Our Our Brunch menu served on both floors.
    • Wissinoming Winnie knows which way the wind blows.

    Lucky Cat Day Seasonal Beer Prognostication
    Like Punxatauny Phil, the Grey Lodge's Wissinoming Winnie is a prognosticator. Unlike Phil who prognosticates weather, Winnie prognosticates beer. Every February 2nd, with the help of her Inner Circle, Winnie determines if there will be 6 more weeks of winter beers or if the spring seasonals will arrive early. Winnie's Inner Circle is comprised of her hand picked (paw picked?) menagerie of local beer folks. 


      Beers On Tap for 2008

    • Porterhouse Pub/Philadelphia Brewing Rowhouse Red, a version of this new beer that you've never had before (since they haven't released it yet) and a version you'll never have again (since this is a prototype batch brewed at The Porterhouse; the official version will use a different yeast and slightly different malt bill).
