Apart from Victory, any other Philly breweries you recommend? I am going to be there for work 11/2-11/6.

 

I'm not a huge fan of Philly breweries other than tired hands. There's yards and evil genius bit both are average. You should def go to Monks for a great beer selection.

I'd you're into liquor and cocktails hit up Philadelphia distilling

 

I actually really enjoy evil genius but also love city. Monks is a great spot too for variety

If you're near any Aldi, their holiday beer advent calendar comes out Nov 3 (as well as many other delicious looking ones).

This is weird. Annoyed I bought a six pack but I gotta try all seltzers

 

My obligatory "cider not beer" post but i got this today and it's rly good



My bf got the Wyder's Prickly Pineapple and I'm not usually a huge pineapple cider person (my frame of reference being Ace) but it was really good

 

Omg stop this snow globe cider has glitter in it. This is the best day of my life.

Tomorrow is opening day! Im off but I’ll be there Wednesday - Sunday all dinner shifts (scheduled 41 hours for first week of service, I’ll take it) so if you’re in the area stop by!!!

 

Damn. Folksbier in Brooklyn just abruptly shut down:

Yup. I am super bummed about it because it is (was?) my favorite NYC brewery.

Odd they scrapped all of their social media and website. Would have expected a more proper goodbye.

 

wow

 

The original is solid. Barrel aged also solid.

 

Oh, I bet that's actually pretty good. I remember the original being one of their better canned offerings.

 

Anyone going to FOBAB this weekend? I will be there in a red Doughboys WOW shirt.

 

Had these bad boys last night. Scrumptious.

 

both look nom nom

 

Damn, Bells sold to Kirin today. That's fucking wild.

 

will the quality suffer at all?

 

I'm not entirely surprised, I really feel like the craft beer boom is on it's downslide very quickly. Aside from just naturally passing it's peak, the rise of seltzer and canned cocktails has surely hurt a ton of independent breweries

 

I tried Kona Seltzer's the other day because Publix tricked me with a sale - Absolutely terrible.

 

Haha, I don't drink seltzers really but Kona is probably one of the better brands in that space

 

seltzers are mostly awful, but the good ones are very good. that is my input.
