HSP is partnering with The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) as part of their summer pop-up beer garden series.
This year, PHS will sponsor two gardens: the garden at 1438 South St., now in its third year, as well as a brand new garden at Viaduct Rail Park, 10th and Hamilton Streets, part of a creative reuse of the old Reading rail trestle in the Callowhill neighborhood.
The new PHS pop-up at the Viaduct Rail Park, with an opening celebration at 5:30 p.m. Friday, June 10, will have food from chefs Jason Cichonski (ELA and Gaslight) and Sylva Senat (Dos Tacos and the future Maison) and management from HFA Bridge.
The bar will have six taps and canned beers, as well as serving wine and cocktails. Special themed dinners and events are planned throughout the season.
The pop-ups are due to run June 1 to Sept. 30, but will soft-open during the week before.
HSP is providing archival images of the Reading rail line, to be mounted in the garden's gallery.
Hours will be 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 2 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday.
