A new brew will benefit and celebrate the Schuylkill River Trail.
SRT Ale is being brewed and canned by the Sly Fox Brewing Company in Pottstown. The craft beer is an American pale ale that's due out in time for Earth Day in April.
A portion of the proceeds will help improve and maintain the trail between Pottsville and Philadelphia. The 130-mile trail winds its way along the river through Reading and near the Sly Fox brewery in Pottstown and the original Sly Fox brewhouse and restaurant in Phoenixville.
"Brewing a tribute beer to the crown jewel of regional recreation was a natural for us," said Brian O'Reilly, Sly Fox brewmaster. "The Schuylkill Watershed is vital to the work we do and Sly Fox is committed to supporting it."
The beer's launch will take place over several day in what's been dubbed the SRT Spree. Starting April 17, a Sly Fox launch team will travel by kayaks, road bicycles, trail bikes, horseback, recumbent trikes and on foot with a larger-than-life SRT ALe can, welcoming beer and trail lovers to join them along the way.
Each day of the journey, the group will stop along the trail for an organized cleanup and beer tapping event.
"We hope this unique event creates a lot of buzz for SRT Ale," said Corey Reid, Sly Fox beer ambassador and member of the SRT Spree launch team, "but, more importantly, it will draw valuable attention to the trail and the river."
The journey will end in Philadelphia on Earth Day, Wed., April 22, for a final cleanup and launch celebration.
