"El Vez has historically been one of the most popular spots in Center City for happy hour, but did you know it also doubles as a great place to sample mezcal? If new to tasting the spirit, visiting is a must as one of the few spots offering a mezcal flight. For just $45 you can sample three mezcals (bahnez, espeid, del maquey vida fiquenda) providing a great introduction to the spirit. If drinking this straight doesn’t appeal to you, cocktails might be the way to go, with its mezcal mule, Oaxaca old fashioned, and mezcal margarita all being excellent options." - George Banks-Weston

The brainchild of brothers Andy and Sean Arsenault, who began their brewing career as engineers with curiosity, the brewery has been releasing small batches of cans consistently, in many different styles. Don’t look now, but the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia is heating up with ARS"
