They have brew cafe beers on tap? Had friends go that aren’t beer people and they enjoyed themselves.
I'll be in Philly Wednesday - Saturday morning and staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City. Anyone have any good recommendations close by for breakfast/lunch?

Reading terminal market. Try a dinic’s roast pork before you leave. Termini’s cannolis and Hershel’s hot pastrami also up there. Great wings at deiners if you can find it in a corner near 12th and arch too (behind the breakfast counter). Also plenty of Asian options in there. Sang kee for noodle soup and dumplings.
Don’t eat breakfast there a lot but stick with the Dutch counter near 12th and arch.
Toms dim sum is right there too. Great soup dumplings.
If you want to venture into Chinatown, it’s not far and I would be happy to give you more places (Korean, ramen). Reading terminal is an institution though and there’s plenty of great/local food to try there.

I second the roast pork recommendation, and if you can handle a short excursion south walking or Lyft or whatever, South Philly Barbacoa is a really special taco experience. They're always changing things around, so maybe read up what they're doing these days, but their pork tacos and lamb barbacoa tacos are ridiculous. I'd skip the hibiscus water, it's pretty much Kool Aid.
Oh, I'm two weeks late... will let the post ride for other interested parties

oh yes! great beer all around! i've had it a few times on tap at Monks but i'll probably make the trip next Tue. anyone else planning on going!?
I could probably hit that up after work too
I’ve had it in bottle twice now but still not on draught. I’d be curious to taste the difference (if at all).
i'll let you know what i think

Wawa and 2SP Brewing collaborate on a coffee beer
by Michael Klein, Updated: November 29, 2018- 9:00 AM
The Winter Reserve Coffee Stout by 2SP Brewing Co. and Wawa.
Convenience-store giant Wawa is getting into the beer game, in a partnership with 2SP Brewing Co., the award-winning brewery located in Aston, about 15 minutes from its corporate headquarters in Delaware County.
Winter Reserve Coffee Stout, created by 2SP head brewer Bob Barrar, combines Wawa’s limited-edition Winter Blend coffee with 2SP’s oatmeal stout. Wawa and 2SP say its flavor profile includes notes of sweet clove, dark chocolate, and graham crackers; a sample was not made available in advance.
The beer will be launched at 4 p.m. Dec. 6 at the Wawa store at 721 Naamans Creek Rd. in Chadds Ford, the only Wawa in Pennsylvania that sells beer.
At the firkin-tapping event, the first 50 cases will be available to purchase, first come, first serve, with a limit of two four-packs per person.
The beer will be available for purchase during the week of Dec. 10 through Origlio Beverage, which distributes to neighborhood bars and bottle shops in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Only 1,000 cases will be available.
The idea stemmed from a 2SP meeting in October. The brew team was drinking Wawa coffee -- but each had different roasts, said Michael Contreras, 2SP’s director of sales and marketing.
Barrar was drinking regular, brewer Andrew “Ruby” Rubenstein was drinking the Reserve series, and Contreras was drinking Cuban. “Next thing you know, we are trying each one, talking about the merits of each coffee, similar to the way we do with beer,” Contreras said. “It seemed like the only thing we agreed on that day was our taste in coffee. Then it occurred to us; Why don’t we hit up our neighbors at Wawa and see if they had any interest in brewing a coffee stout with us?”
A week or so later, Contreras said, Wawa executives visited the brewery for a tasting and discussion of a possible collaboration.
“Aside from Bob being a Delco native, like Wawa, what seemed to really click was that he had a similar approach and desire for beer that Michael McLaughlin, Wawa’s coffee guru, had for his coffee roasts,” Contreras said. “The two geeked out and we could see that something pretty cool and tasty could come out of getting these two together.”

One bad product combined with another that promises to be mediocre at best. What could go wrong?

Hello Philly area people.
I will be at the Grey Lodge tomorrow for their annual "Groundhog Day Hawaiian Shirt Beer Breakfast & Lucky Cat Beer Prognostication" Day.
If any of you are there look for me. I'll be wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

hey kids, i'll be out March 9-12 for Philly Chef Conference, and i'm teaming up with Nicholas Elmi at Royal Boucherie for a beer dinner on Monday the 11th. No details/tix yet, but it should be fun
Yep i'm doing a Beer & Bites and my pseudo philosophy of flavor triangles on the afternoon of the 11th. 3 beers/3 bites (also by Elmi) designed to make your brain go weird, so texture/flavor/sensory changes based on the bite
Petition to change Richmonds water to Fermentory Form's Form to Table. Something I think philly should get behind as well.
