Sly Fox: Pottstown or Phoenixville?

the Phoenixville location is a full-on restaurant and bar. The Pottstown location is the production facility. While the Pottstown location does serve food (mainly just pizzas and sandwiches), it's not as big of a menu as the Phoenixville location. Also, the ambience is different and each. The Phoenixville location reminds of a family diner. There will be kids and families there. The Pottstown one is more in line with a brewery tasting room. You'll also get to see the brewing facility. Less likely to run into kids, etc. So depends on which you're more in the mood for.

 

Depends if you want to eat or not. Phoenixville has a full menu and there are a lot more restaurants in the area. If you don't care much about food, go to whichever is closer, as they have roughly the same beers on tap at both, and takeout options are all the same.

 

If you're going to Sly Fox you might as well go to Tired Hands, right?

 

Victory isn't far from Phoenixville either.

 

I prefer the pottstown location mainly because the food is way better. Really good pizzas. Also tired hands doesn't open til 4 but its a must-stop if you're anywhere remotely near ardmore. You could get there in 45 minutes with no traffic from pottstown.

 

If you're hell bent on a visit, Pottstown is closer, come right down Rt 100, but guessing they only sell sixes and bombers there. If you want a case you'll have to go to a distributor so might as well get it up around Allentown vicinity. If you do go to Pottstown or Phoenixville two very nearby beercentric places worth the stop are Craft Ale House in Limerick and Railroad Street in Linfield. Different food and vibe in each but both have really good food and great beer selections. They are both about half way between Pott'n and P'ville. And if you do go to Pottstown and want a case, Frank Smith is about two minutes away.

 

I agree with this. The food at Phoenixville has never been that great. The pizzas and sandwiches I have had in Pottstown were good.

 

I usually do Victory first, then pop in to Sly Fox. Victory is a good time with some tasty food.

 

The Lehigh Valley is not all that close to Pottstown, is it? I would have to think that one of the Brew Works locations would make for a much more pleasant day.

 

P.S. lol @ no traffic around Ardmore

 

About a pleasant hour drive from Allent'n.

 

less. I've made it from the tasting room to the Trapp Door in Emmaus in less than half an hour.

 

Just throwing it out there....but if you're in or near Whitehall, stop by the Keystone Pub and ask for me (Paul) and I'll buy you a beer or two.

 

Agreeing with a few others. If you want some Sly Fox, pop in and get some, then go to Victory if you want to eat and drink happily. If I was pressed for time, I'd go to Victory, then stop at the Wegman's down the road and pick up some Sly Fox there.

 

You can buy cases of cans and 750ml bottles at both Sly Fox locations. You can also mix a case with 4 different sixers if you want, which you cannot do at a distributor and would have to go to your car and come back to do at Wegmans.
