Yards Brewing Company

Philadelphia


There are some 20 different beers on tap at this microbrewery that began life in 1994 and moved into this impressive new space in 2018. Sample a flight of four of their ales (some of which are named after the nation's Founding Fathers) for $7. There's a good food menu, too.
