Philly beer trip next week. Any Suggestions?

I second both Monks Cafe and Eulogy. Both are excellent beer bars!

 

No love for Free Will Brewing? I find their beers much more interesting that what I've had at Tired Hands...

 

Free Will's got some tasty beers , but I think at that point you're probably pushing the definition of "Philly" with Perkasie.

Although that seems to be the case for most of these threads - sometimes it's hard to tell whether the OP intends on only Center City, or all of the suburbs. And then I guess there is the argument of where the suburbs really end. Like whether the places as far North as Weyerbacher and Funk Brewing are included.

 

I would say the reach of the SEPTA regional rail is a good ruler for where the suburbs end. The Lehigh Valley is definitely not a Philly suburb.

 

Looks like the US Census agrees:

The Philadelphia metropolitan statistical area – which includes the South Jersey and Wilmington regions – remained the sixth-largest in the country, with 6,034,678 residents:
