So the reasons they point to for this title are the beer pubs and breweries around the area. Personally I have never had a Pennsylvania beer, not once. So if they are the beer capital of the US they sure do keep it to themselves. Personally I would have to say Denver or Portland would be closer to the top for me. Seeing as how they have more breweries and beer pubs. But whatever, its not like Philly has much else going for it.
Denver certainly has a huge micro brew revolution going on, but Phila. also has an enormous amount of beer activity, brewers, and great beers. Philly beer week just happened not long ago, check into that for some great stuff. There really is something of a revolution taking place in Philly when it comes to beer.

SO I went to Philly for two weeks. It was incredible!!!! I would recommend Monk’s for Belgium beer and mussels. Specifically Skuldis Noel. Triumph brewery near the Delaware river 117 Chestnutt Street, is incredible. Drink the Saison. Philly was great, probably the best city in the Northeast!
