Philly bottle shop help

It's not a perfect resource, but you should search BeerMenus:
https://www.beermenus.com/beers/russian-river-supplication
https://www.beermenus.com/beers/russian-river-damnation
https://www.beermenus.com/beers/pizza-boy-bean-dream

Obviously, most of these are bars, but some are bottle shops, and some bars may offer carry-out.
I'd personally recommend Richmond Bottle Shop or Northern Liberties Beer

 

some good choices here: http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2013/...awthornes-bottle-bar-beer-heaven-foodery.html

I always found great stuff at the foodery but they can be pricey. Local 44 has a pretty great bottle shop with usually a great tap list and solid food.

 

I'll throw in a vote for Local 44. Great selection and awesome people working in the store. I have one caveat, I thought it was on the pricier side.

 

Use beermenus to get a rough idea

 

Sunny Side Up is one of the best non-BA coffee beers I've had, so it's definitely worth a shot if you can pickup a bottle or two.

 

The Foodery at 10th and Pine has had Pizza Boy almost every time I've been in there, shouldn't be too far for your friend. Last week they had Sunny Side up and Abascio Cell, the week before I picked up a Simcoe Samurai. As I understand PB doesn't bottle everything all the time, so availability is probably more dependent on their schedule than anything.

You can find something from RR almost anywhere, I'm sure The Foodery would have some as well. Closer to 20th and South, I believe I've seen some RR at Towne Pizza at 20th and Pine, also Latimer Deli near 15th and Spruce, although not sure if I've seen Pizza Boy at either place (sorry). Beer Heaven on the east side of town at Columbus and Washington usually has a decent RR selection from what I recall, but again not sure about Pizza Boy, and they are quite pricey even by Philly standards.

Hope this helps-

 

Local 44 had some Pizza Boy golden sour when I was there last week. It's probably one of the least priciest places I've been in Philly. It's the only bottle shop I stop at now when Im there.
The bottle shoppe in ardmore had damnation and Supplication Saturday. Supplication was 18$ which was the cheapest I've seen it around.

 

Can Philly get a sticky thread already?

 

There are 3 PB available at Northern Liberties Beer, along with some others: https://www.beermenus.com/places/8736-northern-liberties-beer . You missed out on Supplication that was available there last week. If you're lucky, they will tap OTWOA when your friend is there for growler fills. That's on deck, just waiting for JAWN to kick.

 

I second this.

They're sold out at the Wegman's in Harrisburg and at Al's of Hampden in Enola. If you find it in the Philly area, buy it on site cause they're out for now.

 

I'll second Northern Liberties beer. Always a great selection.

Bottle Bar East isn't bad, but pricey. Same with Beer Heaven on Columbus.

 

NoLibs Beer just posted Supplication for sale.

I'd avoid Bottle Bar East on price alone, unless I want to buy and drink onsite. Beer Heaven is pricey, but they sometimes have beers that most other shops don't...because they are pricey

 

i actually own Northern Liberties Beer and i have a good amount of Supplication($19) for sale. as for PB, all i have left is Simcoe Samrye and West Shore IPA.

 

i highly doubt you'll see Sunny Side Up bottles still on the shelves, but who knows.
