What You Will Do
This is not a pub crawl but rather a tour of Philadelphia's brewing history that includes tasting beers at some of our local craft breweries. We'll taste at least 4 different local beers on this tour. We'll start strong on the history and finish strong on the beer, but we'll space out the beers to make sure of a safe experience for all. Along the way we'll drink where the local beer fanatics drink. You'll leave knowing more about beer, history, and Philadelphia.
