Philadelphia's Breweries
If you enjoy tasting microbrewery beer, there’s no better place to drive your Toyota car than to Philadelphia.
Philadelphia has a long history of brewing beer. At the time of the War for Independence, there was one tavern for every man in the town. In the nineteenth century, Philadelphia was famous for being one of the greatest brewing cities in North America.
Today, a variety of microbreweries are reclaiming the city’s heritage as a beer brewing town. Here’s a look at some of the breweries in Philadelphia:
