WILKES-BARRE, PA — This year marks the 15th anniversary of Northeast Pennsylvania’s outdoor concert series Party on the Patio, and to mark the occasion, Mohegan Pennsylvania and Runaway Train Brewery have collaborated on the special Party On The Patio Lager with Lime  craft beer.  The malt beverage was brewed by Honesdale-based Runaway Train Brewery.

“This craft beer was the result of hours of collaboration, planning and taste testing,” said Vince Benedetto, a managing partner of Runaway Train. “Our brew master, Charles Mills, took great care to create a delicious beverage that would pair perfectly with the Party On The Patio experience.”

Mohegan Pennsylvania and Runaway Train Brewery will debut the beer at a launch party on Saturday, April 27 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Embers Terrace.  The event is for ages 21+ and is open to the public.

Afterward, the beer will be available in cans and on draft at all Party On The Patio events this spring and summer, and on tap throughout Mohegan Pennsylvania. 

The Party On The Patio Lager with Lime  is an American lager style at 4.8 percent ABV with a hint of lime.  The beer is brewed with a base malt only purchased from Pennsylvania farmers.  Small portions of specialty malts are added to lighten the body and create a wonderfully smooth drinking experience. After fermentation, a touch of lime is added while in the conditioning tanks to make a delightfully refreshing and satisfying brew. 

Meanwhile, the concert series will kick off on Thursday evening, May 2 and continue over 22 weeks with 23 bands performing. Featured acts  include Stayin’ Alive, A Tribute to The Bee Gees on May 2; KISS Army on May 9; Best of the Eagles on May 23; Nightrain – A Tribute to Guns N’ Roses on May 30 and more.
