4/22/2017 -- MGK's Locals Only Beer Fest

Enjoy PA and NJ’s finest breweries all in one place with MGK and Independence Seaport Museum.

PA & NJ's Finest Brewers In One Place

The Philadelphia area is home to some of the best breweries in the nation. Some are really well known, other phenomenal brewers are just beginning to make their mark.
MGK has teamed up with Independent Seaport Museum to bring Pennsylvania and New Jersey's finest breweries into one place to celebrate this tremendous bounty of brew.

Soak up the awesome views of the Delaware River on the Museum's tented observation deck while sampling 50 varieties of beer from 25 of the area's best brewers.

Each brewer will offer up their flagship beer (a beer they are most known for), as well as a specialty beer (a new or rare beer).
Attendees will get to vote for their favorite in each category.

The MGK DJs Spin From Their Personal Collections

WMGK's John DeBella, Debbi Calton, Andre Gardner & Ray Koob will be there to hang with you and play music. Each DJ will play an hour long set of music from their personal collection.
