Reply to comment by beeps-n-boops in I’m kind of a craft beer noob, but I think it might be my new thing. What are the best breweries/taphouses in the Philly metro? by SculpinIPAlcoholic

OP, be advised Tired Hands is owned by a dick, but it might be the best beer in the entire area, though Roy Pitz, now Liquid Arts, is a strong contender.

Philly Brewing Company is good beer (not the best, but not bad), operated by good people who don't aspire to be more than just a neighborhood brewery making the people's beer (Kenzinger)

Tired Hands isn’t even that far above most other breweries anymore. 10 years ago, sure. But most other places have come a long way, and there’s so many good options, there’s no need to support them.

I'm gonna check out Roy Pitz/Liquid Brewing at some point now. We've passed by when going to devour unholy amounts of meat at Lucky Well. And still need to hit up Triple Bottom. That section of Spring Garden is really coming along nicely with the food/drink options. Still not really sure what "neighborhood" it is though. Callowhill?

Callowhill, but they’re trying to make “Spring Arts” happen.

Roy Pitz has a ton of sour beers and also, really amazing food. I recommend everyone try it. Their Detroit pizza is amazing but I just love their burgers and fish and chips too, it’s all so good

Disagree very strongly with this. Once Fishtown Brewpub closed, PBC is easily the worst in the city.

Dock street never impressed me. Maybe that's just me though.

They've never been great, but they've never sucked either.

PBC makes lousy beer.

You missed the memo here, getting mad at that dude for being a creep is actually "woke" and "cancel culture" it's actually good he came back.
