Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company will open its taproom early on Thursday, March 26, to host a watch party as the Philadelphia Phillies begin the 2026 season. The event will feature the release of a limited collaboration beer, Seeing Red IPA, brewed with Philadelphia streetwear brand Cracked Bell.
Doors will open at 2 p.m., with first pitch scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Fans will be able to gather in the taproom to watch the season opener on big screens while enjoying beer and game-day food.
Seeing Red IPA was brewed to celebrate Philadelphia baseball culture and the intensity of Opening Day. The 5.8% ABV beer pours with a deep ruby hue from German Red X malt, offering notes of toasted bread and light caramel. Columbus and Cryo Columbus hops provide a resinous bite, while Chinook adds pine and subtle spice and Simcoe contributes citrus peel and a dank edge. The result is a crisp, balanced IPA designed to remain highly drinkable throughout the game.
The collaboration also includes label artwork created by Cracked Bell, a Philadelphia-based brand known for designing merchandise and gifts for sports fans and pop culture enthusiasts who want to represent the city.
During the event, Cracked Bell will host a pop-up shop at the brewery featuring apparel and gear. Food will be available from El Sabor del Bajio, and the taproom will offer craft beer, orange crushes and other beverages throughout the afternoon.
Opening Day is traditionally one of the biggest sports celebrations of the year in the Philadelphia region, and Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company will host fans for an afternoon of baseball, fresh beer and a Philadelphia-inspired collaboration release.
