The Galactic Empire strikes back at Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company, 909 Ray Ave., Croydon, for “Revenge of the Sixth.” The Creek crew is celebrating the Star Wars saga all day long on Saturday, May 6, with local collectibles, comics and toy vendors, including Broaxium, Wade’s Comic Madness and Secret Origins Comics, free caricatures and glitter tattoos, and ending the festivities with Galactic Empire’s heavy metal take on John Williams’ iconic Star Wars scores.
There will also be themed food items from Clean Plate Club and Moocheeze, including Vader’s Smashburger, LightsaB-ratwurst, Jabba the Hutt’s Pimento Grilled Cheese, Galactic Corn Fritters, Chewbacca’s Cheesesteak Empanadas, Princess Leia’s Cinnamon Buns and more.
This event is free. Tickets are only needed for the all-ages Galactic Empire show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 and available at eventbrite.com.
Also highlighting this Star Wars celebration is the release of Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company’s new beer Bantha Fodder. This 7 percent ABV German-style Spring Bock is inspired by the mighty Bantha of Tatooine, featuring a robust malt flavor profile and caramel sweetness. It’s copper-colored, clean and refreshing, which is important when fighting off Jawas under twin suns. Bantha Fodder may just bring balance to the Force, much like the delicate addition of some classic German hops.
A portion of the day’s proceeds will be donated to STEM for Her, a nonprofit that creates awareness, excitement and opportunities among girls and young women to launch successful STEM-related careers.
The schedule is as follows:
– Noon: Bantha Fodder Spring Bock Release
– Noon to 4 p.m.: Clean Plate Club Food Truck
– 3 to 6 p.m.: Free Bucks County Caricatures and Glitter Tattoos
– 4 to 6 p.m.: Moocheeze Food Truck
