2nd Annual Stout & Chowder Festival 2011 November 19, 2011

Enter the totally nautical world of the Independence Seaport Museum for an evening of sampling dark/seasonal beers (served at Burly Beer Stations), delectable soups and stews, and a special dessert “savor session” presented by Betty's Speakeasy , Franklin Fountain and Hank's Gourmet Beverages. Soups & Stews by Brulee Catering. Spend some time relaxing in our lounge or hang outside taking in the amazing views with a cigar by John Hay Cigars. In honor of the festival's Burly Beer theme and No-Shave November, a Burly Beard Competition will take place to name the official bearded mascot of Stout & Chowder Fest 2012. The competition will be judged by IFC's Whisker Wars celebrity and Beard Team USA member Myk O'Connor. The winner will receive a sweet trophy along with other prizes. Think you have the burliest beard? You can register that evening at check-in.
