Craft beer fans have extra incentive to visit Longwood Gardens on Friday, July 8. The “Gardens On Tap: Meet the Brewer” event is returning to the Beer Garden, a collaboration between Longwood and Victory Brewing Company, starting at 7 p.m.

Guests will have an opportunity to learn about the brewing process and discover what ingredients were grown at Longwood to craft its new summer signature brew, Longwood Seasons: Grapefruit Solstice. The event will occur adjacent to the Beer Garden, a structure created from sequoia trees that fell on the property.
A panel discussion will feature experts from Longwood Gardens and Victory Brewing Company. Questions will be answered during an audience Q&A, and guests ages 21 years and older will even have the opportunity to sample Longwood Seasons: Grapefruit Solstice.
Last year’s signature brews were Autumn Wheat, which used Longwood-harvested honey and was available in the fall, and Summer Zest, a saison flavored with Longwood-grown lemons, which has returned to this summer’s lineup.
Longwood Gardens, the former estate of industrialist Pierre S. du Pont on Route 1 near Kennett Square, is open daily, including holidays. Admission is $20 for adults; $17 for seniors (age 62+); $10 for students (ages 5–18) or with valid student ID) and free ages 4 and under. Group rates are also available.
