 Dine Out For Farms: October 16 - 22
Be a friend of farms and join the growing movement of restaurants and consumers who support a sustainable future for America's farms. Join us at the table as we Dine out for Farms™ in a week-long event held every October to raise funds and awareness for American Farmland Trust's programs that support farms and help save the land that sustains us.
We know you support JJJ, and now's your chance to show that it's not just the fabulous meals, the great service and atmosphere, and the handsome chefs that keep you coming back again and again but also your dedication to our local farmers and preserving the farmland of our beautiful Lancaster County. With more than a million acres of farmland disappearing every year in America, it's more important than ever that diners make the farm-to-table connection.

New On Tap
Exciting things are happening on JJJ's frosty taps this month with three new breweries making first-time appearances! While we maintain our commitment to all the amazing local breweries in the area we have decided to branch out a bit to highlight some exceptional American beers that share our commitment to sustainable business practices.
Wolavers Located in Middlebury, Vermont, this brewery uses 100% organic hops and malts.
Currently on tap: Organic IPA
Philadelphia Brewing Company Located just a hop, skip, and an Amtrak ride away, this brewery shares a comittment to local business by using local grains in some of its beers and also limited sales to a local distribution in keeping with the philosophy that beer is meant to be consumed fresh and the best way to manage that is to limit sales to places where they can ensure that you are getting the freshest beer possible.
On tap next weekend: Walt Wit, a Belgian-style white ale
Duquesne This is a classic, a beer that doesn't pretend to be anything else, a no-fuss beer proud of its Pittsburgh roots - no super-hopped or floating blueberries here! And darn good too. The Duquesne Pilsener recently claimed a Silver Medal in the 2011 World Beer Championships.
On tap next weekend: Duquesne Pilsener
