Help your NC brother out. My Mom and sis are coming down to visit and are gonna bring some goodies. What's available now, and best places to go for stuff we don't get here. ie Alesmith, 4hands, RR, Central waters, Fat Head to name a few. Stouts sours fresh IPAs . You know stuff any BA would be looking for. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
This place gives you a rough representative of readily available beers in Philly and they are nearly always up-to-date: http://www.beermenus.com/places/8736-northern-liberties-beer . Prices there are actually on par or cheaper than other shops. To look for other beers, use http://www.beermenus.com/ and change the zip code to where your mom and sis are staying or punch in 19103 for Center City. RR beers in Philly (and bottle shop info in general) have been covered extensively: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/russian-river-in-philly.158088/#post-2218334
Bottles vary between what's in season, but http://phillytapfinder.com is probably your best resource for draft beers/bars.
