Five stars for one of my new favorite brewery spots in Philly!…read more The Fishtown/NoLibs area is one of those spots that aren't without their standout breweries since you could do a weekend+ long trip of them! But Future Days stands out among them for being appropriately named since I can easily see myself spending most of my days chilling in their indoor/outdoor seating with an IPA, shooting pool and playing boardgames among good company and a lager, and more if I lived closer. Tucked away on a street where it's the only main destination, Future Days is a spot with two floors of bar settings that cater to all ideal experiences during the five days that they're open. the ground floor has a standard bar space with stools inside, and a wonderful outdoor courtyard for all the chill vibes. Meanwhile upstairs is fully stacked with a main bar, plenty of table settings for groups of all sizes, a pool table, and plenty of boardgames to choose from. aside from a few bags of chips its bring your own food, but in an area like Fishtown that isn't really a bad thing. While they certainly have some good ones on their list, Future Days touts a tap list that goes well beyond IPAs and brings a well round list to your table. Favorites of mine include their smoked Helles lager, Mud Club coffee porter, Strut New England IPA, and Future Days kolsch. Toss in events like barre yoga sessions and trivia nights, and there's plenty to enjoy!

A cozy, homey spot for your group to get pretty excellent snacks, great beers, and boozy cocktails…read more Came in here with my wife, our brothers, and a family friend as we scrambled to find a place to get out of the cold and catch up. The place has a warm vibe, and full of folks doing the same thing. We seated ourselves, and within 10 minutes had a table full of snacks (GIANT PRETZEL and trio of fries) and various beers and cocktails. It has kind of a beer hall style of ordering, where you can either walk up to the snack kiosk and order on a touch screen, or do it right from your phone. This is an excellent system to accommodate all levels of drunken neurosis. Everything was good, but I also indulged and probably can't recall much in more detail than that. Will definitely come back for any time I need to bring a group, but also don't want to be wrestling for a free table.

The staff was pretty friendly and the outdoor seating was nice for everyone that had dogs too. They ended up having a food truck pull up which is nice to have at any brewery. With our luck the generator for it was right next to us though so we left pretty quickly after that. Still nice to have and if we wanted to stay we could have found quieter spots. It seems like they are doing well for the tiny amount of space they have. On a nice day it seems like a great spot for a beer.

Fermentery Form is a craft brewery that opened in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in June 2017. It was…read morefounded by friends and business partners Ethan Tripp, Matt Stone and Scott Hatch. The three started out as homebrewing buddies about a decade earlier. They were all very interested in the art and science of fermentation. Instead of typical light lagers, they brewed various experimental, wild-fermented, aged, fruit-infused, "super-nerdy" beer on a regular basis. After being laid off from his job in the digital advertising industry, Tripp decided it was time for a career change. The trio didn't want to open a traditional brewery because they didn't want to deal with the high costs of ingredients, equipment, a large space, or simply brewing beer styles that they didn't care about. So they came up with a brilliant idea: instead they would purchase wort (the liquid poured off the mash in the initial step in the brewing process) from a licensed brewery which they could then age, condition and ferment the way they wanted. So Fermentery Form is not a true brewery; it's technically a fermentery. This business plan solved all the financial problems of having a brewery by not having a brewery. The trio found a small space in the Kensington section of Philly and purchased 50 used oak barrels from a winery in Napa. Today, Fermentery Form is considered to be one of the finest breweries in the Greater Philadelphia area. I recently visited Fermentery Form while my family and I were on a short trip to Philadelphia. I had heard a lot of great things about them in the past few years and was very excited to visit. Fermentery Form doesn't operate like most breweries, and I guess that's part of their appeal. They are open very limited hours; as of this writing, only Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. The tasting room is a lot like an old-fashioned speakeasy. There's a doorway down a narrow alley. There's no signage, just a green light that turns on to indicate when they are open. You probably won't see the place if you don't know that it's there. I entered to find a very small taproom filled with lots of barrels, a small bar with only four beers on tap, and maybe five other people there. The beers I tried were "Form To Table" (Table Beer), "Form Extra" (Table Lager; collab with Human Robot), and "Barrel-Aged LO-FI" (Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Ale). Every beer I tried was exceptional; each one better than the previous one! I also purchased a bottle of "Merry Merry!" (Barrel-Aged Belgian Strong Dark Ale) to take home. Whatever they're doing at Fermentery Form, they're doing it very well. I highly recommend this brewery to serious craft beer enthusiasts!

If you are a fan of Belgian ales or sour beers, you gotta check out Fermentary Form. I'm a red wine…read moredrinker, but on a hot day, I may forego wine and have a beer from Fermentary Form instead. Their beers are refreshing and incredibly easy to drink, with layers of complexity. So far our favorites are the Origins/Sangiovese, Merry Merry (stout), and the Vieux Selection. Currently they're only open at 5:30pm on Thursdays and accept credit card payments, but make sure to follow them on Instagram for any up to date information, including the beers they are selling for the day. The rare ones have a limited supply and do sell out quickly. You can enjoy drinks in their outdoor patio, but we prefer to buy bottles to go. The bottles come in 750 ml bottles, and are easily good for about 2 drinks.
