Seanchai Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 On a recent trip to Philly it was brought forcibly to my attention by a number of persuasive bartenders that there are number of great breweries making quality product in PA. Troeg's, Harpoon, Sly Fox, Victory are some off the top of my head that I really enjoyed. Gotta say, the tastiest beer I've had lately is one that I was introduced to in Chicago, Three Floyds Alpha King. I think the brewery is over the border from Chicago in Indiana, but excellent stuff.

There are some excellent ones in PA, but Harpoon is Boston based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanchai Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 There are some excellent ones in PA, but Harpoon is Boston based. As I inferred, things got blurry after a while Thanks for the correction. Another trend I noticed in Philly was a big emphasis on Belgian beers. Aside from Eulogy and Monk's who specialized, nearly every half-way decent pub/tavern had a nice selection on tap. While at Eulogy I had to indulge in the obligatory pot of mussels. Never had been an aficionado before, Hopleaf in Chicago got me started on that kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There even used to be a third Belgian pub, Cuvee Notredame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
