Our last Brewpub paddle was a great success, so let's do it again. This time, we're launching a little earlier so we can make it in time for their brunch buffet!

We'll be paddling the Schuylkill River through beautiful Fairmount Park and up to the Manayunk Brewery and Restaurant for brunch. This will be an up-and-back paddle with no shuttle required, and is suitable for all paddling levels.

We will launch from the public ramp on Kelly Drive, next to St. Joe's boathouse and just under the Strawberry Mansion Bridge. It's about a 45 minute paddle up river to the brewpub, where we'll dock our boats and enjoy a leisurely brunch. After brunch, we'll float back with the current to the launch site and return home. Launch time is 11:30, reservations will be set for 12:30. Please be prompt.

RSVPs will close at 8pm on September 30 so I can make reservations. If your plans change after you RSVP, please change it on the site so that I can let the restaurant know. Thanks! :) Brunch is $21.95 per person.

See you on the water!
