2SP Brewery

Stopped by yesterday since it's now the closest brewery from work. Loved the Bellcracker DIPA. Very grapefruity/juicy. Enjoyed the other beers I had.

My only complaint would be to get some signage on the entrance to the industrial park. Drove right on by.

 

For those of you in Philly, 2SP is going to be making their Philly debut at Standard Tap on Wednesday. I'm planning on going.

 

I spent some time there today and was mostly impressed. I am not sure why I would think otherwise, but I couldn't help but think that they seem like the real deal. They had a good lineup on tap, the tasting room was crowded but they have a reasonable amount of seating. The prices were about what I would expect. I didn't see anyone get a sample, but that hardly seems necessary since most of their offerings are available in 8oz pours for $3. I will be surprised if we don't see good things from them in the future. I am excited to have a brewery with this much potential practically in my back yard.

I thought the Bellcracker was good, but it seemed a little too sweet and I wonder if they were really shooting for that. In contrast, the ASAP IPA initially struck me as too dry, but it grew on me. The Weiss Wit was good. I am not sure about the rye - I can't remember the name, but I am undecided on that one. IIRC it also seemed too sweet.

As for signage, if you don't know where it is and you are coming from I95 via Highland Ave you are almost certainly going to drive by the entrance before you see it (if you see it at all). It is easy to see their sign from the other direction though.
