LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER / DAVID PEARSON

hen we started these projects

in June 2008 I could never have
imagined writing this message today.
Some of the projects worked, and some
failed. Overall, I think they kind of
morphed into what we are today.
You cant win them all. Most of
the failure was on my part. We are
all human; we all make mistakes,
although I was taught, Its not how
you fall, its how you stand back up.
We started from scratch a lot of you
dont know this. There was no drivers
manual waiting for me when I put the
keys into this publications ignition. We
came from nothing but a concept. We
took that, added teamwork, dedication,
and a lot of sweat and tears. I guess
thats why we are still around today.
Weve made a lot of friends on this
journey, and I hope only a few enemies.
I love when someone says, your
magazine is my favorite bathroom
read. My response is always NICE,
at least you are reading it! Nothing
makes me more proud than seeing
someone carrying or picking up one
of our issues. My favorite moments
happen when I overhear some mom
or grandfather talking to one of our
writers or partners and saying I saw
your story in the Radius.
Our mission has never been
monetary I joke privately that we are
the PBS of printed publications. Our
main goal will always be about sharing
talent and art, and opening doors for
those who write the articles and the
people and places theyre writing about.

These summer issues are always a bit

light and slow, but we will stuff the pig
this fall. Here is a fun fact: Did you know
Pearson Publishing has produced 106
magazines in the past seven years?
Id like to give a few shout-outs,
and Ill start by thanking Paul
Rowlands, my art director, who has
been with me since the start. I will
never forget the day we met at the
Iron Hill Brewery parking lot to start
The Moving Guide in 07. Well, that
never happened, but this did, right?
And to Justin Elson: I will make
things right one day, one way or
another, I promise. My mom loved
your writing. Dalissa and Jeff Reeder
you guys both helped me through
some hard times, and I will never
forget that. B.H., I hope we get you
back one way or another. Charlie
Sahner, thanks for filling in this issue.
Adam Pearson, you are the best big
brother a guy could ask for; thanks for
everything. And thank you to our two
interns, Julia and Julia, and a LOL.
Your interest and participation have
helped drive our continuing journey.
I havent had wheels for over two
years, and we still did it. This fall, Ill be
putting some miles on the road and
points on the board. This is only the
fourth inning. Lets go play some ball.
DP
P.S. Thanks for reading, and for all
the support. And welcome aboard
Easton, P.A.!

This summer, many cats and dogs

will be staying at pet lodging
facilities when their owners are on
vacation. For many pets this is the
only time of year they are in contact
with other dogs or cats. Aside from
boarding, many lodging facilities
also offer grooming and daycare
services. If you need to board your
pet or are considering daycare or
grooming, there are steps you must
take to ensure your pet is protected
against infectious diseases.
Your dog should be current on
these vaccinations:
Rabies: This vaccine is legally
required in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey
Distemper Virus/Parvovirus:
A common core vaccine that
protects against multiple viruses
that may be fatal if contracted
Bordetella: A bacteria that is one
of the causes of Kennel Cough
Canine Influenza Virus

It is also important to make sure

your pet is current on flea/tick and
heartworm prevention prior to his
or her stay. Many daycare facilities
require a fecal analysis every six
months to ensure your pet does not
have any intestinal parasites.
Because each lodging facility or
groomer is different, it is important
to contact your pets facility to
determine the requirements prior to
arrival. If your pet is not current on
vaccinations, these vaccines can be
updated at your pets veterinary clinic.
For vaccines not requiring booster
shots, please allow at least two weeks
between vaccinations and arrival at
the facility. If boosters are needed,
your veterinarian will start the series
four to six weeks prior to boarding to
allow for maximal protection.
Ensuring your pet is fully
protected prior to boarding, daycare
or grooming services creates a less
stressful environment for both
owner and pet! | r

Getting Back In The

Saddle With My Morning
Jacket | by Matt Kelchner

Diving head
first into
The Waterfall
That was the best part
of tracking so much
material, we werent
forcing songs to fit
together that felt like
they werent working
in context with one
another.
MY MORNING JACKET

1 4 / R A D I U S M A G A Z I N E / J U L Y A U G U S T 20 15

With almost 20 years and a number

of hit albums already under their
belts, some might expect My Morning
Jacket to be safely cruising on
autopilot at this point in their careers.
But in talking with bassist Tom
Blankenship, its anything but that.
Back in May, the band released their
seventh studio album, The Waterfall.
We caught up with the Louisville
native to discuss the journey in
making The Waterfall. In between the
stories of daily sunset viewings and
channeling Metallica, Blankenship
also shares some of his own personal
favorite Philly moments.
Nothing outside of the typical
pressure or anxiousness we feel
when were recording, Blankenship
explains as we talk about the weight
behind The Waterfall. It had been four
years since the band released their
last studio effort, Circuital. Despite
this long musical break, the external
powers surrounding the band kept
relatively quiet. Were lucky. The label,
our management and even fans were
not pressuring or hounding us to jump
back in the studio.
The main goal driving the band
was to create the best piece of
work they could, plain and simple.
Previous records were not even
influences. There was never a
feeling of can we top the last one?
or anything like that, Blankenship
radiusmag.com

describes. Personally, he dislikes

using past albums as indicators
for current projects, and finds that
it could be artistically limiting. It
would ultimately inform what were
doing when its really all about
growing as a band, looking forward
and creating something new for us
and our fans.
With a big batch of song ideas
courtesy of bandleader and
songwriter Jim James, the band
went into Panoramic House in
Stinson Beach, Calif., to begin the
process. It was October 2013. When
we started this process, Jim [James]
had given us roughly 35 demos as
possible candidates for the album,
Blankenship recalls, our goal was
to tackle every one of them, no
stone unturned, no matter how
long it took. Things wrapped up in
Louisville, K.Y. the following October.
When we were getting close to
a year into recording, at about 22
songs, it felt like the time to stop,
Blankenship continues. There is no
telling how many songs they could
have wound up with if it wasnt for
their self-imposed stop. For all we
know, they still might be cooped up,
even as we speak.
Toward the end of the recording
time, Blankenship and the rest of
My Morning Jacket noticed some
similarities in the newly crafted
tunes. It wasnt that all the songs
felt like a collection more like
two distinctly different albums
altogether.
15

 In the end, the decision to

separate the groups was an easy one.
One 10-track group would become
The Waterfall. Meanwhile, the
other members are currently slated
for a yet unnamed 2016 release.
Blankenship goes on to say, That
was the best part of tracking so
much material; we werent forcing
songs to fit together that felt like
they werent working in context with
one another.
Nestled along the scenic coastline
of Marin County north of San
Francisco, sits Stinson Beach. High
atop this serene area, one would
find John Baccigaluppi and Bobby
Luries latest studio, Panoramic
House. Bands that have visited often
speak of the rolling landscape and
awe-inspiring ocean views.
You can count Blankenship as part
of this group. I loved that feeling
wed get stepping away from the
studio and recording process at any
given moment and walk outside
looking out at the beach far below
us, he recounts. After spending
countless hours deep in a studio, any
break is good to refresh the mind.
But at Panoramic House,
it can light a whole new fire.
It really does feel like it seeped
into every little corner of this
album, Blankenship says of how
the spectacular scenery influenced
the recording process. With rave
reviews of The Waterfall from critics
and fans alike, the effect thus far
has been nothing but positive. He

later goes on to explain how the

band would always try to center
their breaks around watching the
sunset from their breathtaking
view, describing the scene as
like a mammoth burning ember
extinguishing itself in the ocean.
The surrounding environment
was relaxing and calming for all
the band members, which in return
helped them to focus on the project
at hand. There was this sense of
freedom and possibility that comes
when youre surrounded by nature
like that, Blankenship adds. And a
reminder that life is way more simple
than we make it out to be.
In their secluded, musical beach
house, the members of My Morning
Jacket took to writing and recording
songs much the same way as they
did with Circuital. James would
call one out, we would hammer out
a basic song structure or map to
start from and, and once we had that
down, we would press record.
That gave the group the
opportunity to capture James
vocals live with the rest of the
band. The goal was to capture that
magic between over-familiarity and
in-the-moment, that exploratory
joy of trying to figure it all out.
With this in mind, each song from
this session feels more raw and
together compared to taking tens of
different takes over and over again
for each song. Blankenship simply
puts it, Youre able to hear us at
our freshest. And after a four-year

gap since the last album, a stalesounding record is the last thing My
Morning Jacket would have wanted.
As with almost every band, a new
album brings a supporting tour. My
Morning Jacket follow the same
route, and in a big way. Between
headlining most major music
festivals throughout the country
this summer, they have also filled in
the gaps between dates with other
headlining shows. On July 25, they
and St. Vincent will make their way
to the Camden Waterfront to play
Susquehanna Bank Center as part of
this years XPoNential Music Festival.
The return to Philadelphia has
always been a welcoming one for
Blankenship. His fondest Philly
memory? That comes courtesy
of a former music venue that My
Morning Jacket has not played in
quite some time. Eons ago, when we
used to play the Khyber Pass, wed
radiusmag.com

stay up late after the show and visit

the pretzel factory.
Judging from personal
experience, there is almost nothing
better than getting a warm pretzel
straight from the oven. Blankenship
agrees, All those delicious twists
of salted dough would come fresh
off the line. We were like children
on Christmas morn our magical
pretzel tradition.
When asked about the best
part of being back in Philadelphia,
Blankenship has a bit more trouble.
There are so many factors that, when
combined, equate to the Fresh Princes
new definition of summer madness
in Philly. Its hard to pick just one!
Come July, the revitalized My
Morning Jacket is back in town
to play a collection of fantastic
new songs will surely be one of
the defining points to this years
summer madness. | r

BUSINESS / OWOWCOW

owowcow.com

Owowcow |
It all began with the idea of creating
a business around the human
element. Owowocow, the local
organic, farm-to-table ice cream
store, came into existence when
a graphic designer in Manhattan,
John Fezzuolgio, felt that his
career wasnt effectively helping
businesses. As someone who wanted
to support local farms, open space,
and the agricultural heritage of
the Delaware Valley, and create
something personally meaningful,
Fezzuoglio, now owner/founder
and ice cream maker at OwowCow,
ventured out to create his own ice
cream store. The idea of making ice
cream that was singular and driven
by imagination, passion, and local
culinary inspirations.
Six years ago, Owowcow was
born in Ottsville, Pennsylvania,
and has since added a location
in Wrightstown, and another in
Lambertville, New Jersey.
And the human element to
which Fezzuoglio refers is apparent
the minute one enters the store.
We care about community, we
care about where we source our
ingredients, the nature of those
ingredients, and we care deeply
about the young people who work
for us Fezzuoglio says.
According to General Manager
Shira Tizer, owowcow is in constant

by Julia Rapp

pursuit of developing meaningful

cultural and community interaction.
And that begins the moment the
door opens, the joyful and caring
exchange between our amazing staff
and the people in the community
that support our presence.
With unusual flavors such
as Holy Mole (a chocolate jalapeno
ice cream seasoned with Mexican
spices), Honey Lavender (made
from Peace Valley Lavender
Farms organic lavender), or
handcrafted Apricot Pistachio
Swirl (composed of fresh pureed
apricots and hand-ground
pistachio butter), Owowcow thrives
on experimentation. Each season,
employees help Fezzuoglio and
Tizer come up with new flavors.

2 6 / R A D I U S M A G A Z I N E / J U L Y A U G U S T 20 15

This time of year is especially

exciting because of the abundance
of fresh local ingredients to
experiment with. said Tizer.
This past Fathers Day, the ice cream
special was Chocolate Salted Caramel
Pecan, which included buttered pecan
and house made sugar syrup.
Among the more popular flavors
are a traditional Madagascar Vanilla,
Cashew Caramel (made with
Indonesian vanilla combined with
house crafted caramel and salted
cashews), and Cookies and Cream,
(made with organic cookies).
Not only are many of the flavors
and ingredients local and organic, but
also the ice cream itself is made from
scratch. According to Fezzuoglio,
Owowocow is the only ice cream
radiusmag.com

maker in the Delaware Valley that

makes its own base. Local farms and
apiaries supply fresh cream, eggs and
honey. The ingredients contain 18
to 20 percent butterfat which makes
the ice cream silkier, richer and more
flavorful. Making the base from
scratch is the heart of the ice cream,
said Fezzuoglio.
Owowcow is currently serving ice
cream made with local strawberries
and blueberries, and as the season
picks up, will serve ice cream with
local raspberries, blackberries,
peaches, apples and pears. In the
fall, they will be partnering with
Nonesuch Farms, combining their
amazing corn, butternut squash,
and other fall bounty into even more
seasonal flavors.

Fezzuoglio believes that people

embrace the idea of community in
many ways, especially through food.
He believes supporting local farms
has become so much a part of the
fabric of Bucks County.
You can really taste the difference
when youre eating fresh picked
berries from down the road, theres
nothing like it . says Tizer.
New sorbet flavors at Owowcow
also showcase local farm sourced
ingredients. The new Raspberry
Kombucha made with local artesian
spring water from Frenchtown and
kombucha tea from Sole, a local
brewer. Other new sorbets include
Merlot and Melon Mash, made with
three different local melons.
Community support is another
essential element in Owowcows
business model. We try to support
local farms, but also local people,
observed Tizer.

Ottsville, the original and still

Ty Hodanish |

TY HODANISH

Im going to teach

you how to see,
before I teach you
how to paint.

by Krisy Paredes

Its hard to categorize Ty Hodanish, and why even

try to confine an artist to a defined style or school?
Heres what he is right now: a successful artist,
teacher, and community supporter.
Hodanish kept his art in the back
drawer for a number of years while
he enjoyed a successful career in
public service. He had worked with
mayors, governors, and numerous
federal agencies on public policy and
management issues, and pioneered
reforms in the criminal and juvenile
justice systems. He also taught at
several colleges and universities.
Hodanish always painted while he
was working full-time, an inspiration
to many of us who find it challenging
to do likewise. He jumped at
the opportunity to take an early
retirement, quickly began his studies
at the famous Cape Cod School in
Provincetown, Massachusetts. There,
he studied with famous American

TY HODANISH

Impressionist painters, and gained

exposure to the New Hope School
of Impressionism originated in
Pennsylvania.
The American Impressionist
movement came about during the
first half of the 20th century, and was,
in fact, centered in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania. The movement is
sometimes referred to as the New
Hope School or Pennsylvania School,
especially in regard to a distinct style
of landscape painting. The Late
Pennsylvania School consisted of
artists that came onto the scene after
1915, among the most notable of which
were John Foulton Folinsbee, Walter
Emerson Baum, and George Sotter
a rich cultural heritage indeed.

COVER ARTIST / TY HODANISH

Many of the students Hodanish

mentors today are in the same
position that he was when younger.
Doctors and other professionals
nearing retirement want to cross
learning how to paint off their
bucket lists. His students, however,
are learning much more than just
how to paint. They are being taught
the plein air technique, i.e. painting
outdoors to more directly and
spontaneously capture what one is
seeing in its natural environment.
But to do this, explains Hodanish,
requires teaching his students how
to see before he can teach them how
to paint. Hosting student shows at
the conclusion of his teaching is one
way he is keeping the tradition of
plein air painting alive and well.
Although he dabbles with pastels,
he uses only oil paint in his serious
work, applying it to the canvas with
a palette knife. Hodanish says that
working the paint in this manner lets
the colors vibrate against each other.
His highly regarded Painting the
Impressionist Landscape workshops
have trained hundreds of students

to embrace plein air painting and

the Impressionist approach to
landscapes. Students are encouraged
to paint outdoors in all types of
light and weather conditions, and
the classes emulate the famous
Cape Cod School of painting with
its emphasis on glorious color and
light. Renowned Cape Cod School
painters include William Merritt
Chase, Charles Hawthorne and
Henry Henche.
Hodanish continues in the
tradition of the New Hope School,
working just a stones throw away
from the town at his studio in
Stockton, New Jersey. The workspace
is located on the grounds of the
historic Prallsville Mills, built in 1794
and listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. His studio/gallery has
become a gathering place for artists,
and a base for his well-received
classes and workshops.
Hodanish holds workshops in the
spring and fall, and is considering
expanding the schedule to include
more sessions due to their popularity.
The gallery is open on most
weekends, and during the week, as
the occasion arises. People who see
my work, but dont have enough use
of color, want to learn the technique,
he said. Some people just respond
right away to the color. | r
His work is currently on display at
the Chapman Gallery in Doylestown,
Pennsylvania. Hodanish can be
found online at tyhodanish.com.

ACL / JERSEY JUSTICE

by Julia Rapp

In November 2004, local actor and

Doylestown resident John Hunt began
his first screenplay, soon to be the
action-packed revenge-fueled indie
film Jersey Justice starring Blanche
Baker (Sixteen Candles), Chris Mann
(The Wire) and Bo Svenson (Kill Bill
Vol. 2), along with other high-profile
actors. The plot follows a Bucks
County woman, Polly OBannon
(Blanche Baker), who flees to Jersey to
take the law into her own hands after
her witnessing her husbands murder
and surviving her sons death.
Hunt decided to make the film
the day that George Bush took office
for the second time.
I was thinking of writing a script
that had to do with the frustration
of the everyman, the middleman,

the guy who goes to work everyday,

he says.
Hunt, who played parts as an
actor in local independent films,
and was also an extra in larger-scale
productions such as Jersey Girl
(2004) and Law Abiding Citizen
(2009), was inspired to make his
debut film when he saw some of his
friends directing and producing
films, and thought, I can do this.
When he encountered new people,
he often thought, What does that
man do? or What is his job?
Hunt ran a website from 2000 to
2002 where he would critique films,
and gained a following. He considers
that experience as a creative process
that encouraged him to get back
into writing.

4 4 / R A D I U S M A G A Z I N E / J U L Y A U G U S T 20 15

When Hunt started writing the

script for Jersey Justice, he knew that
it would emulate the style of a 1970s
low-budget revenge drive-in film,
the kind that he enjoys particularly.
However, what he didnt know was
that the lead character would be
a woman. Upon reaching production
time, he changed the lead from male
to female. He felt that having a female
lead in a revenge film seemed quirky,
odd and funnier. Blanche Baker fit
the role perfectly.
I think working with Blanche
Baker was my favorite part of the
whole thing, says Hunt. He was able
to recruit local actors by leaving
casting calls on websites without
a casting agent. Baker, who was
coming back onto the acting scene
radiusmag.com

after 15 years raising a family, sent

him an email after seeing the casting
call. Hunt sent Baker a script, and met
her in Seacaucus, N.J., at a hotel lobby
to determine if she was fit for the role.
He came with his wife, Kathlyn, who
was one of the executive producers.
Shes my good half, says Hunt about
his wife. Right after the meeting with
Baker, they both knew that she was
meant for the role.
Actors from The Wire were easily
recruitable because many of them
live in the Philadelphia area, like
Chris Mann. The films producer,
Tammy Howell was a set designer
on a film that featured Chris Mann
in a role, and? Bryan Anthony and
other stars from The Wire met up
with Hunt for auditions. Like Baker,
45

ACL / JERSEY JUSTICE

when Hunt met Mann

he immediately knew
that he was right for
the role, and said,
youre in without any
audition he just saw
his reel.
Other hit actors
were featured in the
film, such as Jerry
Lyden (Goodfellas)
and Bo Svenson (Kill
Bill Vol. 2), who came
to the set from Los
Angeles for two days,
and filmed five scenes.
Hunt really enjoyed
seeing Jerry Lyden and
Chris Mann interact with each other
on the set and make up their own lines.
As filming continued, he found himself
more flexible with the script and let the
actors change their lines.
I was not gonna say No dont do
that! Stick to the script. I said Go
ahead, if it sounds funny, well keep
it, Hunt recalls.
One of the more challenging
aspects of the film was lack of
preparation, according to Hunt. I
didnt have the main key people that
you need on the set, like an assistant
director, he said. The first thing Hunt
did was hire a director of photography
who was in the business for 35 years,
and said to him, Youre gonna have
to tell me what to do.
Hunt at first had no idea how to
control a whole crew of people he
depended on other people to do it

but figured that the cast and crew

knew what they were doing. However,
expectations didnt play up to reality.
I got frustrated, and that was the
worst part of it. My wife even said
to me You are a monster.
She was sort of a buffer for me,
says Hunt about his wife, who he
said would often remark, Stop being
the way you are and be a nice guy.
Among the challenges that Hunt
faced in making the film was amount
of time it took to get it distributed
and screened. The production of
Jersey Justice, from writing the script
to screening, was a 10-year process.
The movie started with a 22-day
shoot in October 2005 and the editing
process took place in early May that
year. Christopher Tully, a former
teacher at the Middle Bucks Institute
of Technology (MBIT) was hired as

4 6 / R A D I U S M A G A Z I N E / J U L Y A U G U S T 20 15

the film editor. It took another year

to reshoot more scenes and B-roll,
and the first cut of the film was finally
finished by December 2006.
After the initial screening of
the film in June 2007 the production
crew searched six months for
a distributer, finally finding one
in 2008. Unfortunately, just a few
months after Hunt handed the
movie over, the national economy
spiraled downwards, and the
distributing company was no more.
But he didnt want to give up, so
Hunt took another more year to
re-edit the film and add special
effects. The final cut was in 2012.
To prepare for the films release,
Hunt entered the movie in film
festivals to try to chalk up some
awards. The film premiered in two
festivals, and was nominated twice
for awards. Winning Best Picture,
Best Drama in South Jersey, and Best
Actress Drama (Blanche Baker) at the
Downbeach Film Festival. It was very
important that we get awards; thats
good for marketing, says Hunt.
Hunt created his own production
company called Sayre Woods Media
and turned it into a distribution
company so he could put the film
out himself in 2014. Considering
that I had distributors that wanted to
take the movie, but were offering me
nothing in return, it was better to put
it out myself, and create a new avenue.
Despite these setbacks, Hunt
managed to stay on schedule, and
still decided to move forward with
radiusmag.com

I think working with Blanche Baker

was my favorite part of the whole
thing, says Hunt.
the film. If you dont see it all the
way through, I dont call it a failure,
but you werent actually set to do
what you wanted to do, says Hunt.
He and Kathlyn had talked about
it, and in the end decided to go
through with it.
Now Hunt is working on three
different scripts for movies he plans to
direct one is a drama currently being
shot in Hollywood, and the other a
terror film that takes place in the Jersey
Justice universe, and will most likely be
shot in his house in Doylestown.
Hunt gives advice to people
who put up notices for producers
online. I start asking them the
same questions that I shouldve
asked myself when I started making
movies, he says. Like do they
have a crew, producer or assistant
director? He also advises them to
be prepared and know their job, as
well as ask a lot of questions if they
are doing it themselves. Everybody
can write a script, but you also have
to write something good, Hunt
says. My advice for them is be very
prepared for making the movie the
best that it can be.

by Julia Caccavella

TRIUMPH BREWERY IN NEW HOPE KEEPS

ITS WINNING EDGE BY KEEPING IT FRESH
Theres nothing quite like the first sip
of a nice, cold beer after a long day.
It allows you to unwind and sink deep
into your me time take it from
the hops master himself, Paul Foglia,
manager of New Hopes one and only
brewpub, Triumph Brewery. Foglia
understands the true meaning
of a great beer, and detailed Triumphs
continual focus on creating top-quality,
one-of-kind cold ones.
Now, Triumph Brewing Company
of New Hope has been around for
a youthful 12 years compared to the
companys Princeton location, which
just celebrated 20 tipsy years since
first opening (one more year until
youre legal, Triumph!). And these
guys have every right to gloat; they
dont call the bar Triumph for nothing.

After a long effort in New Jersey to

help change that states laws to allow
microbreweries and restaurants to
operate as one, the owners triumphed
over their legislative battle, and the
rest is history.
Every time we paid our taxes, we
wanted to remind them that we won
our court case, said Foglia, I guess
thats kind of the unofficial story as
to how we got our name.
A good distance off the beaten path
of Main Street, Triumph offers more
than just a table to dance on after a
couple beers deep. This New Hope bar
and restaurant is special in more ways
than one. The staff prides themselves
on being beer geeks. Not only was
Triumph the second microbrewery/
restaurant to be allowed in the state,

5 0 / R A D I U S M A G A Z I N E / J U L Y A U G U S T 20 15

but it also offers an insane collection

of home-brewed beer and locally
grown food on its menu. Every beer
served here was literally made just
right above ones head in the beer
fermentation plant upstairs.
So, if youre typically in the mood
for a light beer that can be had just
about anywhere, you most likely
wont become a regular at Triumph.
The number one question I get is,
Can I get a Miller Lite? said Foglia.
Triumph takes delight in being as
unique as they possibly can, so the
idea of having something on tap that
is available at other bars hurts them
just as bad as a hangover.
Triumph likes to showcase its
beer, and they offer a steady rotation
of seven different beers on tap at
radiusmag.com

all times. Foglia says that Triumphs

main goal is for their beers to be
potable to consumers. Variety
is key, and pleasing the customer
comes first. This is also why Triumph
has 100 different brands of beer
registered with Pennsylvania and,
in the course of a year, serves up to
75 different styles of brew.
But whats great beer without
great food to accompany it? Fear not!
Triumph will not only fill your glass,
but your stomach, as well. And the
best part is that the love they throw
into their beer is as true as the love
they put into their food. The majority
of the ingredients used in their
kitchen are locally grown, including
their meat and eggs.
The biggest tie into the
community we have is the food
we use, said Foglia. Were always
trying to use local products so that
we can give back to the community
that supports us.
One item on the menu that really
reaches out to everyones drunken
munchies is Triumphs famous
burger. Its their #1 seller, and for
good reason. The Triumph Burger
uses 100% grass-fed beef, and is
a build-your-own type deal, so Foglia
recommends adding the Bespoke
Bacon (as if that isnt already a nobrainer). The cool thing about their
menu is that it is constantly changing,
offering customers different meals
to satisfy their palette. Again, another
example of how this brewery stands
true to its unique image.

Triumph has 100 different brands of

So, now that you have your beer

and food, its time to find a place to
sit. And Triumph serves up a little
something different here, too. It
starts with the outdoor dining dog
friendly and spacious, its perfect for
summer nights.
But the inside bar was my favorite
spot at Triumph, the modernlooking dcor drawing me in, and
the stairs beckoning me up to the
top floor, with its spacious seating
and multiple pool tables. And youre
able to view the whole fermentation
process from both floors, which is a
treat in itself.
Triumph folks arent the type
to just party all by themselves,
either. Theyre participating in the
upcoming New Hope Beer Festival

in June, and just finished hosting

their first Kentucky Derby party.
Foglia himself works with the
community and serves on the Greater
Lambertville-NewHope Chamber
of Commerce. As he went into more
detail about the type of bar they
aspire to be, it occurred to me that
these people are truly devoted to the
local community they call home.
A special event that got my
attention was Triumphs Fathers Day
Brew Tour on June 21, when dad can
get a free look at how beer is made
at the brewery. Triumph is offering
three different time slots for you
and your pops to check it out, and
all you have to do is call and book a
time that works for both of you. Talk
about taking the edge off

Now, if youre the type of person who

never wants the party to stop, try the
brewerys trivia night, every Thursday
at 8 p.m. Every question comes straight
from the staff themselves, which makes
it that much more fun. Not one for all
the questions? Take a shot at their corn
hole and giant jenga night instead,
every Tuesday at 8 p.m. And if thats
not enough, Triumph offers live music
on their very own stage every Friday
and Saturday night. But if its cash you
want, Monday and Wednesdays Texas
Holdem Poker game at 7:30 p.m. offers
a $200 cash prize for first place, and the
best part is that its free to play.
Last, but not least, do SundayFunday the right way at 7 p.m.
during Triumphs weekly Open Jam
Night, where anyone can grab the
microphone and rock the crowd with
whatever musical talent they have to
offer. Now is not the time for a case
of stage fright.
All beers aside, Triumph Brewery
truly captures the essence of what
a good bar should be. This place is
more than just half-priced drinks and
the right amount of hops. It goes
deeper than just whats on tap. They
welcome a diverse crowd, and invite
their customers to watch the process
as they serve up the best-quality
food and beer. All of that creates an
experience that leaves you feeling
all tingly inside, and trust me, its not
just the beer talking. | r
