One of my favorite things to do when I am traveling is to check out different breweries. They are popping up all over the place. When I was in Philadelphia I made sure to check out Yards Brewing Company.
It was a little on the outskirts of the city, but my friends and I made the walk. We were so hot when we arrived that we could not wait to have a nice cold beer.
The brewery was very large. There was seating everywhere. We decided to sit at the bar so that we could get the best service.
We each decided to so a beer flight. They had several to chose from. I went after the Summertime flight.
- IBG grapefruit pale ale
- Heritage Surf IPA
- Lucy
- Knotty IPA
My favorite was the grapefruit pale ale. It had a great citrus taste that was refreshing on a hot day.
We also got a bite to eat while we were drinking our beers. The Ruben Bites sounded good. These were shredded corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese all mixed together. They deep fried them until crispy. These tasted just like a Ruben sandwich. I really liked that the cheese was melted throughout.
Yards is a fun place to hang out with friends and drink beer. We did not stay long because we wanted to move on and try some other places around the city, however I would definitely go back.
