    Work once again brings me to Philadelphia. I have a free day Monday, August 1. I've hit most of the usual places on previous trips. I plan on hitting Tired Hands again. Are they any new places that have opened the last year & 1/2 to check out? They need to be open Monday, which I know is usually a down day for a lot of beer joints.

    Thanks as always for you input.

    He's gonna be in Philly on August 1st, though the Phillytapfinder link is essential.

    Tired Hand's first location (now called the Brew Cafe) is closed on Mondays. Make sure you go the new location of Fermentaria since that is open on Mondays (12 noon).

    Cheers!

    Damn. I must have skipped a few reading comprehension classes. Not even sure how I ignored 8/1 after the word Monday altogether. My bad, OP. :flushed:

    Will check out the link. Have been to Tired Hands pub and checked to see when it was open. Looking forward to the new place.

    I've had the same comprehension issues as well! No worries! My last trip coincided with Beer Week, so I got to hit some cool events.

    What area of Philly? Are you going to have a car?
    A number of new breweries and brewpubs have opened recently.

    I'll be staying at near the airport, but will have a car.

    Looks good. They open Mondays? Can't seem to find hours on the site.

    I'd check out Monk's Cafe while you're in town.

    Been to Monk's a couple of times on previous trips. I will if I have time.

    Thanks for the Input. Sterling Pig was solid and the Tired Hands place is quite impressive. Hope to make it back to both!
