*  TAKE A BASEBALL BUS TRIP WITH FLYING FISH!

Saturday, June 19, join a bunch of other Flying Fish fans for a bus trip to
see the Atlantic City Surf professional baseball team take on the Lehigh
Valley Diamondbacks. The Surf, last year's Eastern league champs, are
probably best-known for having the good taste to put Flying Fish on draft
in the stadium.

Buses leave from two locations: KT's Pub in Riverside, NJ and PJ
McMenniman's on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia. The all-inclusive price
includes snacks and Flying Fish at the bars before the trip,
transportation, reserved box seat ticket, and free hot dog and soda at the
game--and even a ride back! Kids are welcome.

Contact either KT's (609-764-2784) or PJ McMenniman's (215-247-9920) for
specifics on times, details, etc.

******Reservations must be made by June 9!******

To find out more about the Surf, call them at 609-344-SURF or head over to

*  BELGIAN-STYLE FARMHOUSE SUMMER ALE NOW OUT

Last year's greatly enjoyed summer beer is back for 1999. A tribute to the
highly drinkable "every day" beers from French-speaking Belgium. Contains
Belgian two-row pale malt and 7% wheat. Our Belgian-style Farmhouse ale is
lightly filtered with an earthy, spicy hop character from imported Styrian
Goldings hops and a beautiful rich creamy head from the wheat. Slightly
sharp, dry quenching finish achieved by use of the traditional sour mash
process.

Your local liquor store or beer distributor is able to order the Farmhouse
in a sixth-barrel "torpedo" kegs (5.2 gallons--more than two cases
worth).

*  NO TOURS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

We're closed Saturday, May 29 for a rare day off!
