Philadelphia Brewing Company is a great place to enjoy drinks with friends and family. Surrounded by the local neighborhood and supported by many folks who enjoy beers and ciders, I visited the brewery to support local animal rescues The Morris Animal Refuge, and the Mac Fund for a fundraiser for cats. I had a total blast chatting with bartenders and complimenting their choice of cat t-shirts to support the kitty event. I really dug Black Cherry Cider and the Walt Whitman Wit Beer. I plan to go back there again.

Duke the cat really made hinself at home and so did we! Great beer, decent cider. The outdoor seating was plentiful and nice. Kill a few spotted lanternflies out there will ya? Thanks!

Well, I didnt like their beers. I found them mostly flat and uninteresting. My Weiss wasnt as fruity and summery as I was expecting. At the end of the day though is just a beer. So I am not mad about itTheir outdoor space is very nice and you can bring your own food there and smoke a cig if you want to.

Great beer, interesting location, and great friendly service.

Very place to chill out and enjoy some pretty good beers from PA. The woman tending the bar was very warm and friendly and offered great suggestions. There is both indoor and outdoor areas to sit and enjoy either a quiet drink solo or drinks with friends. Definitely coming back!

If youre looking for more adventurous craft beer styles this probably isnt the place, but if you want solid original styles they do a good job.The beer garden is really nice and chill. They currently do live music on Wednesday nights. (As of July 2021)

Lovelovelove Philly Brewing! It was the first brewery I visited upon moving here, and its become my favorite go to spot. Super friendly staff, beautiful outdoor atmosphere. Love it! 💛💛

A fun place to try, and a couple of different creative options including their ciders! Everything was good, but can’t say that anything blew me away.

The owners are great and care about the neighborhood!!

Really cool place. Went there for a party on the second floor. Loved the old wood floors. Joes Coffee Porter was full bodied and flavorful. Wouldnt mind coming back to see the brew house in operation

Good service, great beer, great vibes! 10/10

Loved the murals

Going inside to pay for each drink and tipping to carry my own drinks to a picnic table isnt my idea of a good time. $6 draft cider at 5pm isnt very fun either.

I really love this place. I love how comfortable it is, I love the Cider & Beer, I love the shop, I love that they are so animal friendly (and that they help cats find homes), I love the decor, I love the people that work there and I love that on a really cold day, we were able to sit outside and the heaters kept us warm!! I REALLY love this place!! It makes me warm and fuzzy. 💖💖

Solid beer lineup, and entertaining guide on the free tour. Typical craft prices - $5/pint or $10/taster flight. Seasonals are more interesting, but mainstays are flavorful, too. Their biggest reminder: beer, like bread, should be consumed fresh! Interesting old place.

Really really nice staff, owner and super cool customers. Smiling happy faces! Thanks you all!!

Local treasure. Great beer garden!

Bartender is pretty rude but the beers and music are on point. If not for the bartenders attitude itd be a 5 Star.

Really liked drinks and the crowd and dogs!

Hannah was awesome, will be back for more cider next time we are in town.

Cool afternoon hanging with some Moto enthusiasts and bikers alike ..Phila Brewing Co. and Phily Moto Social.

Ive been to PBC many times but I felt it was pertinent to give an update with the current pandemic. They have a HUGE outdoor space with umbrellas at almost every picnic table, fresh water and treats for pups and a great takeout system so you can grab a pint AND keep everyone safe + healthy! Will definitely be coming back 🙌🙌🙌

Nice place, plenty of outdoor space. Great beers and reasonably priced. BYOF (food) or buy some Pop-Tarts 🤣!

Really wanted to like this brewery because the outdoor space is excellent, has a great vibe, and people were incredibly friendly. A brewery is rated on the beer and it was very disappointing. The worst brewery I’ve been to in the city from a beer standpoint.Multiple beers were flat and lacked flavor, some were so watered down they were barely drinkable. It wasn’t just me, others in the group felt the same. Also, the options were limited too.There are definitely better options for breweries in Philadephia.

Best Brewery in Philly with excellent Cider as well

Had 2 porters and my wife had a dark and stormy so they have mixed drinks

Comfortable n nice atmosphere, its an outdoor beer garden, if the weather is nice n ur in the mood to have a beer n enjoy the beautiful weather its the place to go

Not a whole lot of options but beer is tasty. Especially the Joe coffee Porter

Talk about a diamond in the rough! This brewery/part time comedy venue, sits in the heart of Kensington, where, believe it or not, parking was the only worrysome part. Try the Raspberry Cider on tap, it is Niiiiiiice!

I just threw my husbands surprise 40th birthday at Philadelphia Brewing and it was amazing!!! Angela went above and beyond and the bartenders Mary Ellen and Jeff were outstanding. I even was able to talk to the owner and she was so sweet. Everything went so smoothly and they were super accommodating. For the past 2 days my husband has been saying how happy he is I decided to throw it there. The space and decor is wonderful but the staff really was amazing. You could tell they cared and wanted you to have a great time. Thanks again!!!

This brewery seems small at first but after looking around they take up a lot of space. The peacock room is the main tap room and is right below a giant event space. The have a patio on the other side of the street with games to place and a trailer serving their beer. I tried two of their beers when i was there and didnt care for wither of them. Its a great place to go because of its history but i dont think i would go back.

Nice dining environment but pretty mediocre beers

Physically distanced relaxation, many flavors to choose from!

We had my husbands surprise birthday party here and everything was AMAZING! We already loved the beer and cider but planning this party allowed me to work with Angela and meet some of the staff which I am so thankful for. Angela is WONDERFUL. She helped coordinate the party effortlessly and is friendly, responsive, and organized! Everyone at the party kept talking about how great everything was. I can’t wait to have another gathering here at some point! Thank you PBC!!!!

Had a great time at there tour and bought the 5 half pint sampler. Was quite a good deal. Staff was nice, place looked great, tour was thorough, and beers were delicious. Youth in Asia being my favorite. Also its within walking distance from Pizza Brain. Really couldnt ask for more if you wanted a nice date.

Great brews, selections. Staff friendly and informative. Go on a Wednesday evening for open mic, might hear some fun music or weird philadelphia comedy.

Best place ever!

7/2020 - appreciating and supporting this local business being opened. And the bartender was appreciative of my husband’s tip. Pleasant and a cool place to enjoy a beer or cocktail outside.Updating my post as the owner contacted us and showed concern regarding our experience. I appreciate her listening and investigating. We will go back soon.Third time is a charm. Had gone here twice before and never any issues- enjoyed the experience and product, but tonight 9/13/2019, whomever their name is behind the bar was rude, not customer focused and lost our business.

Absolutely beautiful place & spacious. The decor is stunning, iron, wood, wild flowers displayed, antiques, the bathroom is gorgeous & of course youre able to see the brewery on site. The staff, very warm, gracious & knowledgeable. I dont really drink craft beer & Sean took the time to explain & i sipped & tasted & found the that the Joe coffee porter was the one for me! Delicious❤Also what a treat to see live entertainment upstairs. A wonderful late afternoon & I highly recommend checking this venue out. Oh there is an outdoor area to hangout & enjoy your choice of beverage. I look forward to coming back. Thank you PBC❤🎶🍻

Good beer and the outdoor space is great.

Absolute excellence in all areas

Went there for Tiny Dynamites A Play, A Pie & A Pint. Awesome experience and atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone looking for a romantic date.

PBC has a really nice cool atmosphere and an excellent cider and beer selection.

Start with the Kenzinger! Its their flagship, for good reason. Then try the rest. Ciders are great. Tour was fun and informative but I was with a lively group, your experience may vary.

Love our time here! Great beer and great atmosphere

I love PBC ! They have an amazing beer and cider selection and they taste wonderful. Upstairs is their tasting room where you may also meet a couple of their brewery cats! They offer tours of the brewery and sometimes have live music. There is a small snack selection but keep an eye out for food trucks outside if you get hungry! Great staff with warm personality and a good location!

Great place to grab a pint. Service was extremely friendly. I will definitely return on my next trip to Philly.

Awesome Brewery! Drink Local!!

Great local spot to grab a beer or even a spirit made right here in Fishtown. They have outdoor seating for the summer and a fireplace for the winter - pretty dope.

Great atmosphere and location, beer could be better

Its hard to rate because of the Covid outbreak. You spend very limited time indoors, so you dont get to experience the ambiance. 10 beers on tap and no food. Beers are quality though.

Brewery tour with the beer/cider flights option was cool, and Commonwealth cider is a really good dry cider

Very dissappointed by the taste of several of the beers.

The brewery tour on Saturdays is pretty cool. Visit PBC is your looking for a real brewery experience. Plenty of samples to go around. Plan accordingly as there is no AC, but on a nice day this tour is amazing!

Great folks, fluffy-tailed cats, fireplace, exquisite artwork, best Black Cherry Cider this side of the Mississipp

Good variety for growlers and nice selection for creating your own case

Definitely a worthwhile experience while in Philly. Awesome service, great beer, great atmosphere.

PBC, Oh my Goodness all my favorite brews under one roof, they are all great! I just got JOE coffee porter in a sampler case. What a discovery!I may have found my favorite beer of all time. Kudos to Chalfont Beverage for ordering me a case for thanksgiving. Im sure this is what the Pilgrims were looking for when they came to America!

Awesome experience, great selection, staff very friendly, and reasonable prices.

GREAT tour! Great beers, funny tour guide, and informative. A great Saturday afternoon activity.

Easily the best craft brewery in the city. Friendly, helpful staff. Too bad the tasting isnt free anymore, but understandable.

Great brewery/bar with tours, tastings, indoor and outdoor seating.

Brought my family here when they were visiting. Had a great time, beer was perfect, scene was spectacular, tour was awesome!

Nice, staff was straight cool and the beer was good.

Great brewery to tour in philly and in a cool part of fishtown. If you ever want to buy great beer for cheap, come here and buy it from the source

Just had Kenz o Lantern pumpkin beer and loved the spice flavor. Almost like eating Ivins Spiced Wafers!

Amazing taproom with lots of room to spread out!

Talk about a diamond in the rough! This brewery/part time comedy venue, sits in the heart of Kensington, where, believe it or not, parking was the only worrysome part. Try the Raspberry Cider on tap, it is Niiiiiiice! P.s. They should book Dan Lamorte more often! Great nite of comedy!

Cool space. pale ale is very good.

Good selection, chill atmosphere 👍

The gregerious ginger cider was great!

A great building, brought back to life to make beer. The tours are awesome. Dont show up late and expect to get in, as this is a busy place and the staff are all taking time out to handle tours. Dont miss the Fleur de Lehigh -- still one of the best beers ever. mcget / trophy bikes

I have visited breweries from SC to NYC and I have never been served by a ruder Group of bartenders. Visited 8 breweries in Philly & this was by far my worst experience.

Yes you made a mistake

I keep almost every one of their beers in stock in my home. Quality is very good, pricing is amazing, and they are local and super friendly!

Ive been to my fair share of breweries and this is probably the best one Ive been on. Whats to love about it?1. Tours are free - you just have to make sure you show up on Saturday between 12 and 3, since thats the only time that tours run. There are no tickets, so it is first come, first serve. Our 1:30 ish tour (which lasted about 45 minutes) had about 30 people on it. Our guide (wish I remembered his name) was also very friendly and you could tell he was trying to make it an interactive tour, rather than a spewing facts tour. Plus, this was the first time I got to see beer-bottling in action. For most brewery tours Ive been to, Ive gone on a weekend, and they typically dont bottle on the weekends. So Im glad that I finally got the opportunity to see that.2. Beer tastings are 5 3 oz. samples for $10. They give you a sheet (almost like a punch card) and theyll mark down which ones youve tasted so far.3. The beers are really great. Whenever I do beer tastings, theres only maybe one or two that I like. But here, I liked pretty much all of them. My favorite was the Fleur de Lehigh (which is a seasonal Spring beer). The Joe Coffee Porter was excellent. I usually dont like coffee porters because they just tend to have a bitter taste, and not much flavor. But this one had a great, fresh coffee flavor.Tip - be sure to check out their store. If the season is over, you can get some SUPER cheap beer. When I went in April, their Winter Wunder was just $5 for a 12-pack. Probably the only time I wished I lived in Philly so that I can bring a bunch of beer back home.

Local brews are the best brews

Great tour, friendly staff and excellent beer!

Great drinks, good patio/outdoor space!

BEST BLOODY MARY’S IN PHILLY

This is a great use of a building!! old brewery building repurposed!! Great beer, great neighborhood!!!

Hi miss you Justin! Cant wait to see you at thanksgiving.

Need to update web site and google. I only drove over because everything said open till 5. Arrived at 3:40 to be turned away as tasting room closed at 3. Might try again, but with so many other options might not bother. Hello Yards Brewing Co.!

Great Place

Good tour and free tasting.

Friendly bartender, good beer

Get some!

Great service

Great people

Include it in your tour of the breweries throughout Philadelphia.

Great coffee beer!!!!
