“The Gang” from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” made a stop Saturday in Harrisburg to promote their latest libation.
Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney, three members of the Always Sunny Gang, stopped at the Fine Wine & Good Spirits distributor on Jonestown Road to promote their new whiskey, “Four Walls.”
The stars of the long-running series drew a crowd of 200 fans to the store, who braved the cold and rain for a brief chance to meet with them.
The Four Walls sold out at 3:30 p.m., hours ahead of the trio’s visit at 7 p.m. Those who preordered the whiskey were able to bring their bottles through the line and have the cast members sign them.
Attendees who did not secure a bottle were unable to meet the cast. However, those who missed out on the bottles still were able to sample the whiskey at a tasting table.
Four Walls originally was released as a premium, collector’s edition bottle to celebrate 15 seasons of Always Sunny but is being re-released this fall as an everyday, drinking version.
The grain and malt Irish whiskeys, blended with American rye, is “smooth on its own but holds up in a cocktail, making it ‘the better brown’” according to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. And fans ate — or drank — it up, according to the whiskey’s label.
“It’s delicious — Irish whiskey is my favorite,” said Candice of Wormleysburg.
“I’d easily buy some of it for the collection. You know, it comes from those guys. It’ll put a smile on your face whenever you drink it,” said Damian of Harrisburg. “It’s nice, it’s light. It’s actually better than I expected it to be.”
“It has a nice finish, kinda oaky,” said Mike, who was with Damian.
The trio will move on to a signing event in Philadelphia on Sunday before going to Ardmore, Montgomery County, on Monday.
“We love a good bar,” the three wrote on their website. “They are institutions, and the place where our coolest bands, greatest authors and iconic community leaders gather to pen and plot the ideas that shape the culture of our most influential cities.
“Not to mention being the room where we all come together to celebrate, to remember, to meet new people and to open ourselves up to new points of view.
“And when you find the one with the right bartender, the perfect soundtrack and the one that’s filled with friends from all walks of life, you know you’ve found a safe haven from all the (expletive) outside its doors.
That is what Four Walls is all about.”
