Welcome to America’s first fully wind-powered brewery. Although there are often large crowds on the weekends, it’s best to go then for a free brewery tour. The brewery, located in the Northern Liberties neighborhood, boasts five signature ales like the Love Stout and Yards IPA in addition to their Ales of the Revolution and other seasonal releases (such as the Saison), as well as their featured cask beers. The friendly staff are helpful, congenial and wiling to talk about the beer. Since this is a brewery inspired by British ales, learn all there is to learn about beers.
