## Resource

Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with Mark McGuigan, President of the German Society of Pennsylvania. Founded in 1764, the German Society of Pennsylvania is the oldest German organization in the United States, dedicated to preserving German culture and traditions through language classes, cultural events, concerts, and its Joseph Horner Memorial Library. The Society is also the home of Philly Bierfest, an annual midwinter beer festival recognized by USA Today as one of the top ten beer festivals in the country, celebrating Pennsylvania's deep ties to German brewing heritage. https://www.phillybierfest.org/ Insta - @phillybierfest https://www.germansociety.org/ Insta - @GermanSocietyPA _____________________________________________ THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR: The Beer Accountant: https://www.paddymaccpa.com/brewerysolutions Email: pmcdonald@paddymaccpa.com 267-566-4077 - Patrick McDonald - Licensed CPA _______________________________________ EPISODE NOTES: Mentioned Beverage Brands Victory Brewing - Downingtown, PA Evil Genius Beer - Philadelphia, PA Mentioned People Marnie Old - Epi 45 - Sommelier, Beer & Wine Author William Penn - Historic Figure William Penn Jr. - Historic Figure Ben Franklin - Historic Figure Carol Stoudt - Founder of Stoudts Brewing Ron Barchet Jr - Co-Founder of Victory Brewing Bill Covaleski - Co-Founder of Victory Brewing Tony Michels - Former President of the German Society of PA Chris Mullins - Owner of McGillin's Olde Ale House Mentioned Businesses Philly Bierfest - German Beer Festival Brauhaus Schmitz - German Bier Hall Breweries in PA - Pennsylvania Brewing Publication McGillin's Olde Ale House - Oldest Bar in Philadelphia Kennett Collective - Non-Profit Organization EuroVision - International Music Festival What We Drank?
