February/March 2013 VENUE: Keystone Homebrew
The Tasting Room brings us to one of the oldest homebrew shops in the area, Keystone Homebrew. Not only is it one of the oldest operating shops, it’s also by far the largest, with their relatively new warehouse-type space in Montgomeryville, PA. This huge spot is like a shopping mall for homebrewers and will soon be home to a winery as well.

JUNE/JULY 2012 VENUE: VICTORY BREWERY
With the 2012 Best of the Philly Beer Scene Awards being presented, we thought it was only fitting to hold the Tasting Room at the location of the “Best Area Brewery” winner, Victory Brewing Co. On top of being named best brewery, Victory also won awards for their Prima Pils (Best Lager) and Storm King (Best Stout/Porter). For this issue, we also changed up our formatting a bit–our newly revised Tasting Room features more beers and a rotating tasting panel.

For our food themed issue, we asked a pair of local, talented chefs to join us in the Tasting Room. Brauhaus Schmitz was the perfect backdrop as it is the epitome of German beer and cuisine in the city. The German beer list is well respected and absolutely unparalleled in the area. It is home to 4 unique house beers on tap, one of which they are the only bar in the country to carry! Chef Jeremy Nolen has done wonders to establish Brauhaus as just as much of a food destination as it is for beer.
