I really enjoy my day job and everything I get to do, but I really love some of my coworkers. Jess recently joined my company and has quickly become a great friend. I really get along well with her and her boyfriend and share so many interests.
Like me, Jess is usually up for trying out something new and she really enjoys experiencing Wilmington and Newark, specifically the beer scene. I, of course, love that I have a friend who isn’t allergic to beer so we can do flight tastings together!
A few weeks ago she brought me with her to Chelsea Tavern on Market St. for my first “flight club.” That’s right – “flight club,” a play on the popular movie set in Wilmington, Fight Club. (Maybe you’ve heard of it?)
Anyway, it was so awesome! For $10, you get five different craft drafts in 6 oz. pours. Not only is it a really great deal, but it’s fun to try new beers, and each pour is enough to appreciate the beer, but not too much to overwhelm you if you don’t love it. There’s also a little bit of food for you to snack on as well as the well-priced happy hour menu to choose from.
Flight Club from this week was so cool and featured Girl Scout cookie pairings. As soon as I heard that I was sold! The flight consisted of:
- Allagash White with Savannah Smiles
- Troegs Troegenator with Do-Si-Dos
- Smuttynose Robust Porter with Trefoils
- Oskar Blues Death by Coconut with Samoas
- Fordham Not Your Daughter’s Thin Mint with Thin Mints
Seriously, how cool is that?
Flight Club is such a great deal and after you’ve officially “joined” by attending a minimum of four flight club tastings, you get all kinds of awesome discounts and deals at Chelsea Tavern all the time. Nothing better than that.
Flight Club takes place from 5:30-7:30 in the downstairs room at Chelsea Tavern.
