Pennsylvania's Best

Hunger 'n Thirst, The Fridge, and Friendly Greek for bottle shops. I like Wheatland Beer Distributors if you're looking for 12-packs or cases. Also, don't forget to check out the draft list at both Hunger 'n Thirst and The Fridge. I'm not sure how often you get to try Tired Hands but The Fridge usually has a tap or two of their stuff on.

 

Tikk- There's a brewers outlet near the outlets. It would have 12 packs and cases, not sure of the selection.

Although from the outlets, you are only a half hour or so from victory, so I would go there

 

Literally everything from Tired Hands
Almost everything from Forest and Main
Most things from Pizza Boy

More Specifically:
Sunny Side Up
Sunday Morning Sout
DirtWolf
Big Gruesome
Big Black Voodoo Daddy
Insanity
The Shape of Hops to Come
Storm King
Weyerbacher Double Simcoe
Perpetual
Sour Monkey
Nugget Nectar
Hop Ranch
I also love Free Will sours

There are tons of more limited beers that aren't found as easily but depending on the time of year, all of these are likely to be found on shelves or taps.

 

It does. Keep checking in with Capone's or Teresa's for the next tapping.

Philly is one of the lucky ones on the East Coast who gets this stuff.

 

No love for Yuengling? (Pottsville PA) I am not at all an expert, but for the low price we find their Lord Chesterfield Ale and their Porter quite delicious.

 

Yuengling is def. A solid choice, but I wouldn't consider it one of PA's best unless we're talking about price.

 

Top 2-3 Bottle shops in philly?

Looking for possibilities of Russian River, DC Brau, Pizza Boy, Tired Hands, Neshaminy Creek, Perennial, Carton?

Not sure if all of these hit distro or not but have a friend up there right now that can hit up a shop or two for me...Suggestions are welcome for anything else I should consider having them pick up as well....Thanks!

 

Tired hands is draft / occasional bottle release. RR you'll find around. Pizza boy is draft / special release. NC is pretty common in most stores. Carton is in NJ, has draft in PA rarely from what I've seen. Perennial I don't believe is in PA or DC Brau.

I live outside the city, so I'll let others weigh in on shops in the city.

 

The only lucky one East of Denver.

 

I know this is an old post but if you are coming to Cherry springs, there are a couple of options but of course you will have to drive pretty far as we have no local breweries yet. there is a small brewpub in Mansfield. (just off of route 6 and 15 intersection) called Yorkholo Brewing and another in Wellsboro (also just off of Route 6 and 15 intersection) in the wellsboro house restaurant. there is also new Brewery in Olean, NY 4 Mile Brewing. if you are coming that way to Cherry springs from the north. These are just ones that are semi close to cherry springs if you are coming to watch stars. If you travel down the hill into coudersport there are a couple of bars that are carrying mostly PA brews. the Crittenden Hotel has a 12 tap system that is constantly rotating and Olga's cafe serves bottles and can service, the owners of each respective establishment take pride in finding and bringing PA beers into town.
