Since 2004, when the Mummers parade made its return debut to Broad Street, Eddie and Chris Tully has been hyping up the crowd between String Band performances. Based on the crowd’s reaction that year, they realized that this could be even bigger and better. 2005 was an even more successful when they added band introductions, captain interviews, and crowd interaction that included sing alongs, an impromptu dance contest and a grand finale with hundreds of people in the street strutting to Golden Slippers. This was also the year for the introduction of the “People’s Choice Award” that was presented to the crowd’s favorite band. It was simply judged by the loudest cheers. A new, custom trophy has been presented every year since. Come join the fun this year as we are doing it again – bigger and better than ever!

Garrett and Meredith worked with us to find the kind of beer that best expressed the season and the personality of our wedding. They are incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and interesting to work with. We spent time with them on two occasions brewing the beer, learning how to, and watching the experts. Everyone at the wedding (and after) raved about how cool it was and they loved the beers themselves. What you get with Home Brewed Events is not just a novelty beer, it is a complex and well executed micro brew and it reflects you and your personalities. AND you get all of this without having to purchase and store all of the equipment yourself (for people that might not have space or time for this incredible hobby). I hope you consider Home Brewed Events for your wedding favors, you won't be disappointed! " Teal Orbit Corporate Team Building Event- (Philadelphia, PA November 2014) " If you consider yourself a beer connoisseur, or even if you just like beer and want to learn more about it, then we highly recommend you book a class with Home Brewed Events. They were accommodating, friendly, and incredibly well versed in the art of making beer. They came to us to teach the class on Garrett’s birthday, and even offered to come back and help anyone who wanted to make homebrew on their own. In our book, they’re golden!"

We embody Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: the gritty city of brotherly love that declared our country’s Independence; comprised of blue-collar working-class families; and the most die-hard, passionate sports fans in the world! We are PHILLTHY FOR LIFE™! We were raised to embrace the Broad Street Bullies and Buddy’s Bounty Hunters, where class was taught by Dr. J and Moses. Our memories were constructed by individuals named The Hammer and Nails, and were held together by Jaws and strips of black electrical tape. We know the true Wild Thing didn’t star in Major League, but at a place called The Vet. Others might call our city “Philthadelphia,” but not to be outdone, we ranked our beloved city filthier than any other in the country in a recent poll. Yes, we here at Phillthies™, like you other denizens of Phillthy Nation™, take pride in our city’s rugged backbone. For we are not like our neighbors – corporate, soulless, and sold-out like A-Rod’s New York; or gifted in gamesmanship and graft like Belichek’s Boston. Unlike the Cowboys, Yankees or Lakers, the only bandwagon that will carry our teams is named Mummers and comes loud, proud, and struttin’ down Broad Street every year! We are the hard-hitting and industrious city of Rocky and Dawkins whose fault, if any, is that we care too much for our teams and our players. While we may have personally endured the Kotite era, 14 years under Braves dominance, way too many seasons with Lindross, and a cumulative 100 seasons without a title in our four professional teams from 1983 to 2008 – we also feel the collective pain of having the first franchise to reach 10,000 losses in a near century. Yet, we persist: we keep Fightin’ like Frazier, Scrambling like Randall, and Enduring like Iverson because we know our Flying Hawaiian sun will rise again. We are Phillthy for Life™; we are The Phillthies™!
