Philly six pack shops?

Look up the foodery. They have a few locations. More of a bottle shop than a 6 pack shop but you will likes find something interesting. Just a warning, prices at high but selection is good. Beer heaven on Columbus blvd also usually has a great selection and is also expensive. You can thank the price of a takeout beer license in PA for the high prices in bottle shops.

 

I haven't been to the Foodery since some hipster douchebag cashier seemed annoyed by my 2 questions a few years ago. I had $150 to spend that day.

I'd recommend Monde Mart, they have a Facebook page and update new arrivals once per week. Prices are typical for Philly, but they seem to get just about everything that passes through Philly.

They posted The Abyss and FW 17th yesterday and I think from zooming in on the picture, they want $17 and $25 respectively. Fair pricing for Philly.

-good guide
-you'll find RR sours in the suburbs more easily but it'll be around 16/bottle

 

Capone's in Norristown

 

He asked for shops near downtown.
I'm assuming he won't have a car.

 

Bottle Bar East on Frankford Ave in Fishtown. Not too far from downtown.

What kind of stuff are you looking for, anyway?

 

You know what they say about assuming......

 

Yes they do. All of their core line up, plus the seasonal Red Chair NWPA. Abyss bottles just popped up in the city, but they will get snatched up quickly.

 

So says the guy from VA..... Even with a car it's a pain in the a$$ drive from Center City.

OP, Foodery @ 1710 Sansom. You can eat/drink and buy singles/6pks. Beer Heaven also a great selection, get pho at the place next door. Local 44 may be the best bet for selection of RR.

 

As of last night Bottle Bar East had Consecration as well as Damnation. Also had 4 or 5 of Deschutes' year round brews.

Russian River pops up periodically in The Foodery on 2nd St. too, but I don't go there often so I'm not sure what their stock looks like now.

 

Is Consecration the only RR sour currently on Philly shelves?

 

Good friends at The Bottle Shop have a great selection of six and mix to go as well as big bottles. Hawthornes on 11th and Fitzwater is also great too.

 

I told you my horror story from there? I went in to buy a bottle of Chocarrubica and it was infected and sent an email to them. After what seemed like an eternity I got a response and I went in to get a new bottle that the regional manager from B. United International brought in for me. Bottle was infected so either they gave me the same bottle or the new one as as well. Sadly I never returned nor will I when I can go to Wine Works instead. It was disappointing but you live and you learn..

 

Horror story from The Foodery or Monde Mart?

 

Just because I live in VA now doesn't mean I didn't live in the Philadelphia area for 10+ yrs.....

 

The Foodery oops. Sorry about that..
