Restorations go acoustic for charity at Yards’ Brewery’s Philly Beergasm

Collaborate Philly hosted its first annual Philly Beergasm charity fundraiser last night, and the event proved to be just as exciting as its title.

The networking collective for the local creative community joined up with Beer Cakes Philly to throw the beer and food tasting party at Yards Brewing Company, with proceeds benefiting Philabundance.

Though the chill hang and networking vibe permeated throughout most of the evening, live acoustic sets from End of America and Philly’s own Restorations were the highlight of the entertainment.

Restorations played through some of the stripped-down stock from their new album LP2, which drops on Tuesday. They serenaded the slightly craft beer buzzed audience with tracks like “New Old,” “A” and even old favorites like “Nonlocality.”

A raffle of beer-related apparel from Triumph and other local breweries ended the event. Whether it was the beer, the prizes or the live music, few in the small audience seemed to leave unsatisfied.
