Planning for a Great 2008

Is 2008 looking great here in the Philadelphia region, or what? We got the year off to a great start with Philly Beer Week. You may have heard of it! I've drudged up my old Brew Pub Watch page and updated it with links to everything you need to know about the new and returning players to the Philly Brewing Scene. Keep up, things change fast 'round these parts. I'm sure it won't be long before someone jumps in with something I've missed, right? Coming soon to Philadelphia is the re-emergence of Yards Brewing and their familiar ESA, Saison, Love Stout, IPA, Pale, and the Revolutionaries. This will mark the return of Tom Kehoe and his team, including Tim Roberts, formerly of the suddenly-shuttered Independence Brewing and Dock Street (first edition). Following closely behind (or don't quote me on the exact order...it's not an exact science) will be the glamorous and newly renovated Victory in Downingtown and Ron's Original in Exton/Uwchlan Township. Earth, Bread, + Brewery in West Mt. Airy shouldn't be too far behind these two renovations. And, later in the summer to early fall should be the (don't call it the "General Lafayette") Tied House in my old Fairmount/Art Museum neighborhood. Good times...good times
