Experience Bliss at Valley Beach at Valley Forge Casino Resort: Sun, Sand, and Sandwiches

The sun shines warmly down on me as I hear the water. I sink more comfortably into my chair and dig my toes into the sand while I sip on my Strawberry Basil Mojito. 

It’s safe to say I am pretty happy right now, yet it’s 4:00pm on a Tuesday and I’m in..King of Prussia?

Yes indeed at Valley Beach at Valley Forge Casino Resort, at the Valley Beach Poolside Club and you can bet I will be enjoying myself all summer long! 

50 tons of sand surround the 22,000 gallon pool, so instant refreshment is found, plus you won’t go hungry. 

TONIGHT!!
PLUS- don’t miss WMMR Preston & Steve’s Belly Flop Contest on Wednesday July 27! TONIGHT! 

It’s going to be an awesome evening!

Enjoy a new shore-boardwalk type menu, sip craft beers and fresh cocktails while enjoying live music from within a private cabana or any of the hundreds of lounge and beach chairs around the pool.

Plus, there’s a new food truck- The Break, a poolside shower area, expanded food and bar menu, live entertainment, and more. 

Enjoy poolside favorites like Baja Tacos, Jerk Chicken Nachos, Island Bowls, Shrimp Wrap, Wipeout Burger, Chilled Blue Crab Dip, Salads, Wraps, and more.

This is one of my favorite places- at least three times a week I am lounging here after work in the sun, with feet in sand, book in hand (and a frosty adult beverage!)

Skip the shore traffic and find your oasis right in King of Prussia, just two miles from the King of Prussia Mall, with amazing nightlife too.

Donnerstag Happy Hour Kicks Off KoP Beerfest Royale

Did you know that Donnerstag means Thursday? And what a great Thursday it was to kick off King of Prussia Beerfest Royale with the Donnerstag Happy Hour on October 1! Despite the Nor’easter winging its way up the coast and into KoP, hundreds attended this sold-out event behind the mall under the big tents to eat and drink in style.

Many local food vendors were in attendance, Maggiano’s, Bahama Breeze, Wegman’s, Bonefish Grill, The Capital Grille, Morton’s, California Pizza Kitchen, and Sullivan’s.

Delicious wine and spirits came from Manatawny Still Works and Chaddsford Winery. Many local breweries were pouring all night, including Troegs, Two Roads, Sly Fox, Stable 12, Haymaker, Neshaminy Creek Brewing, Sir Charles Hard Cider, Crabbie’s, Evil Genius, Free Will, Conshohocken Brewing Co, Rock Bottom Brewery, Starr Hill, and many more!

Live music from Swift Technique kept the crowd pumped while sampling amazing food and craft brews. Despite the weather, everyone had a great time enjoying their complimentary cigar from John Hay Cigars, specialty cocktails and pumpkin beers, Dia Doce cupcakes from the cupcake truck, and more!

Then the night continued over all Sullivan’s for the Official Donnerstag Happy Hour After Party- which was a great time!

And don’t forget the rest of the weekend- Saturday, October 3 has two sessions for beer tasting..but sorry folks, they are sold out! (Only Saturday Session Designated Driver tickets are available at $15- includes full access to event, entertainment, free non-alcoholic beverages & snacks from Wegmans, KOP and more!)

This is the fourth year of this spectacular event, and if you don’t make it this year, come next year and you’ll see why the King of Prussia Beerfest Royale is named Best Outdoor & Best Foodie Event 2015 by Montco Happening!

Always drink responsibly!
