The Phanatic Around Town program has been very popular all summer long, but like all great things, it must eventually come to an end.

The 20 custom-painted Phanatic statues will be removed from around the city during the week of August 30th, leaving a little more than a week to snap your photo with them in their current locations.

After the statues are collected, they’ll be on display on “Phanatic Walk” at Citizens Bank Park beginning September 3rd through the remainder of the season.

Also… if you haven’t already, check out our time-lapse video in which we visit all 20 Phanatic statues around Philadelphia.

It’s time for another delicious With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® collaboration, this time with Capogiro Gelato Artisans.

You already know about Victory Summer Love Ale, our With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® beer, made by our friends at Victory Brewing Company.

Well, now we’d like to introduce you to the new With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® gelato flavor, made by our friends at Capogiro: Philly Cheesecake swirled with luscious Amarino cherries.

The totally original new gelato flavor — one of more than 375 flavors produced by Capogiro since they first opened in 2002 — is crafted from scratch in small batches each morning using the most fresh, natural and seasonal ingredients.

To stay true to the artisan method of traditional Italian gelato, Capogiro remains devoted to using local hand-picked produce and milk from grass-fed, rbST-free cows.

Bonus: authentic gelato is infinitely richer and creamier than ice cream, while containing about half the fat and calories.

So indulge away!

The With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® Philly Cheesecake gelato flavor will be available at all four Capogiro locations on a rotating basis — Rittenhouse, Midtown Village, East Passyunk and Penn’s Campus.

You can check Capogiro’s website daily to see what flavors are available at what location that day.

And remember: if you’re craving a little something sweet to top off your summer evening, check out one of Capogiro’s Center City locations, open until midnight on weekends, for a scoop of artisanal gelato or sorbet made from Lancaster County fruit and herbs. And look out for the With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® Philly Cheesecake flavor.

You’ll be happy you did!

We’re very excited and extremely proud to announce the launch of Summer Love Ale, a new craft beer from Victory Brewing Company and With Love, Philadelphia XOXO.

The golden brew will debut in Philadelphia on June 4th, 2010 just in time for Philly Beer Week before rolling out to bars and restaurants where Victory is available across the country later this summer.

Brewed locally at the Victory Brewery in Chester County, the Summer Love Ale is a golden ale made with pale malts, German hops and Brandywine Creek water. This specific style of beer was chosen because it has a broad appeal and will be accessible for casual beer drinkers, but will still retain exciting hop notes.

The brew has a vibrant and refreshing pale color derived from its lean and refreshing malt body. And the initially floral aroma of hops segues into a well integrated, refreshing hop dryness of European heritage.

You’ll be able to try the lovely new creation yourself at more than twelve bars and restaurants throughout the region beginning on June 4th, including Johnny Brenda’s, Standard Tap, Fork, PYT, Chifa and Nectar. For interested owners/managers who would like to serve Summer Love Ale, fill out this form.

Stay tuned for more information — about both the beer and where to find it — to come.
