Your Gameday Beer: Tonight I want a good mix of hops and citrus, so I’m turning to Santilli by Night Shift Brewing in the Boston area. Pound for pound, Night Shift is one of my favorite breweries. Santilli is so quenchable and full-bodied, it’s a perfect outdoor drinking beer for those who want a little more complexity.

Go Phillies!

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
