Philadelphia Brewing Co.

"Philadelphia Brewing offers one of the best local beer experiences, with a flight of five beers for $10 and free tours on Saturdays. There’s a deck, occasional live music, and a friendly staff. Open since 2007, this is an essential Kensington mainstay." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

"Philadelphia Brewing Co. in Kensington is almost always packed with people who live in the neighborhood drinking Kenzingers. Whether you're chilling at one of their yellow picnic tables outside or inside near the fireplace when it’s chilly out, do it with the crisp golden lager everyone else is drinking. As far as food goes, there's usually a lineup of food trucks parked near the front lot serving things like crispy tofu tacos, burgers, and juicy grilled chicken satay. " - candis mclean

"Whether you're an ambitious homesteader or a nerdy beer enthusiast, Philly Homebrew Outlet has got you covered. They sell all sorts of beer brewing supplies—from equipment to ingredients—and they sell winemaking, cheesemaking and kombucha kits as well. If you need a hand before jumping right in, they also offer a variety of classes and workshops." - Melissa McFeeters

"Old Kensington’s Philadelphia Brewing Company, billed as the city’s oldest and largest brewery, wasted no time calling out the governor’s 'botched' announcement: Its popular brews like Kenz O’ Lantern Pumpkin Ale and Joe Coffee Porter are available for on-site purchase and curbside pickup daily — including Thanksgiving Eve — from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m." - Tierney Plumb

"You’ll usually find Philadelphia Brewing Co. packed with a bunch of locals, their cats shelling out super judgy stares, and some out-of-towners all sitting under their big umbrellas. Whether you're chilling at one of their yellow picnic tables, inside at the long wooden table in the 38,000-square-foot Kensington space, or near the fireplace when it’s chilly out, you can do so with their signature beer (the Kenzinger). The crisp and light golden lager is one of the 30+ beers they pour, the others being blended sours and hazy IPAs. As far as food goes, they have a rotating lineup of food trucks that are usually parked near the front lot serving things like crispy tofu tacos, burgers, and juicy grilled chicken satay." - Candis R.
