http://www.greylodge.com/news.html The Grey Lodge Pub is a Northeast Philadelphia Beer Bar and Restaurant http://www.greylodge.com/weblogo.gif http://www.greylodge.com/news.html http://www.greylodge.com/news.html We are now using Blogger to publish our news, http://greylodge.blogger.com. The upside is that the RSS feed will be automatic. The downside is that the News page now doesn't match up to the rest of the site. I'll keep refining it as I get the time.

Those of you who are subcribed to our old RSS feed, please add this subscription and delete the old one. http://www.greylodge.com/news.html Happy Birthday this week to Diane Gwiazdowski, Ben Cliver and Greg Motchnik.

If your birthday is this week and we missed you here, please e-mail us with your birthdate and name. Whether you are mentioned here or not, stop in on your birthday for a complimentary beverage.

We'll be doing the noon session again this year. I suggest buying your Brewfest tickets in advance.

Hands down, we rock; we have great breweries, great bars, and especially great beer drinkers. Our region is celebrating this fact with Philadelphia Beer Week, which runs from Friday 07 March to Sunday 16 March.

We will be participating here at the Grey Lodge with two events, a Wheat Beer Breakfast on Saturday the 08th, and a Pennsylvania Breweries Wild Game Beer Dinner on Sunday the 09th. Tickets for both will be available on Friday, 01 February. http://www.greylodge.com/news.html Joan Oliveto, former mistress of mozaic, has ventured a little further up the Avenue. She'll be joining us at the G-Lodge as a part time chef. Joan will help us with weekend specials (including a good number of salads) and desserts. Expect some mozaic favorites, including Aunt Joan's meat loaf. Joan starts next week. http://www.greylodge.com/news.html Sunday is Funday here at the G-Lodge. Now even more so. We start off with brunch at 11am. At 3pm, we have our in-house dart shoot (Thanks Warren). Now from 7pm to 9pm, we have Open Mic Night on our second floor. http://www.greylodge.com/news.html *Instead of just deleting all of our old news, we are now saving it forever on our Olds Page. Olds being the opposite of News. http://www.greylodge.com/news.html I started this project yesterday and I'm making good progress. The name of the work is "Around The World, One Plate At a Time 2". If you have any plates you'd like to donate (something like this), we'll be very happy to accept them. Thank you. I hit a motherlode of plates today at the thrift store. The West Virigina plate is fascinating because it's mostly empty. http://www.greylodge.com/news.html Starting this weekend, join us on Sundays for brunch from 11am to 3pm. We should have the brunch menu online by Wednesday afternoon. http://www.greylodge.com/news.html One of the major objectives of the latest rewrite of GreyLodge.com was to add RSS. Not familiar with RSS?.. this link might help. Please click on the RSS icon to subscribe to our feed. (I use Google Reader to manage my RSS feeds). So the irony is that one of the purposes of this Website update is to let you get all the latest info without actually coming here. http://www.greylodge.com/news.html We now accept (or reject depending on the authorization code) credit cards, so business expense account people come on in for lunch! You have no excuse now.
