One of Philly's favorites, Yards has come a long way from being a venture that started as an experiment in brewing by two college buddies. The engaging story of how they did it as well as the award-winning brews make this brewery worth a visit. The brewery's dedicated tours will take visitors on a nostalgic trip through its history. The tasting room is a delight.

The Philadelphia Brewery was originally built over a century ago and brews five year-round beers as well as a few occasional ones. Some of their notable beers are the Pennsylvania Pale Ale, Schwarzinger, Kenzinger, as well as Kenzinger, BiBerry Ale, etc. This wonderfully designed structure has created facilities for recycling and reuse. The Brewery Tours happpen on Saturdays and you can walk in between noon and 3:00p for their complementary tour where you will learn about brewing, their building and some trivia.

Established in 1985, The Dock Street Brewing Co. is a pioneering microbrewery in America. With award-winning artisanal beers to its credit, it remains at the forefront of West Philly’s beer culture.
