Philadelphia Distilling is one of the first craft distillery in Pennsylvania since Prohibition, known for its award-winning Bluecoat Gin and other so many other spirits, and features a tasting room with a full kitchen, cocktail bar, and tours in a historic Fishtown location.

They created 'Lo-Fi Aperitifs', 'Prize Fight Whiskey', 'Hendrick's Gin' and 'Sailor Jerry Rum'. They founded the 'Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile' & transformed the 'New Liberty Distillery'. Their tasting room is located at the Art in the Age Spirits & Bottle Shop. Most recently, I discovered the 'QC Shrub' drink. Generally, I find that certain brands of hard-ciders & low calorie PABs (progressive adult beverages) are too sweet or they give me acid reflux. This QC Shrub drink is made from a classic Colonial American recipe, the shrub. It contains a splash of apple cider vinegar that eliminates the need for added sugar. It is fantastic..not too sweet, slightly tart/tangy with a dry finish, sessionable, 90 calories, 3 grams of sugar & 4.0% ABV. I'm looking forward to see what other concoctions QCM develops!

The bad news: the last time I reviewed this spot was over 5 years ago!…read more The great news: IT HAS JUST GOTTEN BETTER! Admittedly, when we used to go, it was during a time we could only really sit outside and enjoy our bevs, or take them to go, and NOW we get to bask in the warm lighting, the INCREDIBLE soundtrack, and the perfect energy of the staff, so I think it's about time to re-review. Four Humours is the place I'd take a date (in fact, I did bring my husband last night), a girlfriend, a group getting ready to hit the town, OR for a night cap. it's so versatile - it can be whatever you need it to be. Like the Room of Requirement, only boozier. The crew gets SO creative with their cocktails - we've sipped on ones featuring pho-infused agave, chicken schmaltz-washed bourbon, carrot and pineapple foam, pandan - and they're always switching it up seasonally and I can not WAIT to find out what's coming this fall. Cocktails range from $15-20, pretty similar to most of the neighborhood, but they are STRONG. I started buzzing after 2 the last time I went. I love this for the jump-off to a night out or, as a mother of 3 who's hustling home for the babysitter, a one-stop shop. Added bonus: you can order food delivered to the bar! Pro-tip, if you get pizza share with the bartenders. If you order South Sichuan you just might melt from the SPICE level. No matter what you're doing with the night, you're gonna have a great time AND a few great bevs!

This is the vibe at New Liberty. We sampled a couple flights of their bourbon and were very pleased with the overall taste.

Welcoming, friendly, and not pretentious, which is a nice change from other distilleries. Highly recommend if you enjoy bourbon and cocktails.

What I felt stood out and made Sam's tour above all of the other various brewery tours that I've been on, is his complete understanding of the chemistry aspect of the brewing process. It's one thing to be able to understand and recite the step by step process of brewing and some of the biological and chemical reactions, but Sam said he went to school in those fields so his knowledge of this fields of study was truly outstanding (and he also had some great stories about beer as well). We visited Flying Fish (the largest and oldest brewery in New Jersey), Lunacy (a cult favorite brewery that I've actually never heard of that only brews at night given the lunar root of their name) and then Roy-Pitz (their main brewing location in not in Philadelphia, but their sours were brewed on site, which if you know anything about beer, sours and all other types of beer need to be kept separated) and Love City Brew Co (this was the last stop on our tour and was PACKED) in the Spring Garden Arts section of Philadelphia. All of the breweries we visited we got a sort of "backstage" look at their specific brewing process as well as tasted four of their beers. On the third stop we had a late lunch/early dinner of sandwiches or burgers (which I didn't even finish because I was so full). Overall based on things learned, new breweries visited, food portion size, and overall tour guiding, I'd give City Brew Tours a 10/10 if it were possible on Yelp. By the end I couldn't even drink anymore beer (I'm tiny, sue me) and left with some new appreciation of some pretty cool breweries that I had never been too. I understand that not every tour goes to the same brewery, seeing as not all will have the same availability week to week, so I'd defs be interested to do another Brew Tour and get to explore some other breweries as well. City Brew Tours was a full day of fun, facts and brews, would highly recommend!

Stopped in after a Yelp event walking thru Fishtown and happen upon the tasting room…read more Decided to enjoy the Whiskey Flight which included the White Whiskey which was clean and simple to get started, the Four Grain Whiskey that had a more intimate taste slowly moving to the darker Whiskeys. The Honey Whiskey I knew I was going to like as it had a sweet sip that didn't burn like the two prior. I could see myself drinking it neat or in a cocktail. The remaining two had similar tastes. Again not an expert on Whiskey so I know the Honey won me over with the pronounce sweet finish vs the more traditional whiskeys in the other tasting glasses. Regardless stop in before a night out or a serene way to walk throthrough Fishtown feeling a little bit warmer during the fall months.

There are some interesting takes and combinations and the ingredients themselves are tasty. I went with the cardamon old fashioned, which was fair. I wasn't inspired to buy one of their somewhat pricey bottles of take-home spirits. The vibe itself is somewhat small which wouldn't necessarily bother me but we happened to go on a Sunday afternoon where there were two groups of patrons that were so so loud, borderline screaming. I'm all for having a good time but it was bordering excessive. And the service was strangely slow. It took a fair amount of time to get a menu, when there were essentially no other new people waiting and the bartender was cleaning her station, and getting the drinks/check took a good amount of time. With a lot of other options in the area I probably would chose something else.

Another great additional to the Philadelphia distilling scene! They also sell in a few state stores around the city, so keep an eye out for them.

Expect maybe 10-15 mins. Knowledge wise this was below what I learned at the major places. After wards there's a whiskey tasting of about 5 small shots of their products. 1 rum, 3 whiskeys and a birch beer. Whiskeys were very tasty and bar tender was friendly and knowledgeable. They also have cocktails or whiskey on bar for about 13$. Overall this has a very independent vibe and was fun but definitely not same quality as the major places.

When I recently moved back to the city, they had a Yelp offer so I headed back to refresh my memory on how I liked them. One sip of a frozen piña colada and I was assured that I'd enjoyed them. When was the last time I had a frozen piña colada? Whenever it was (years ago), it was not here or I'd still be ordering them. So refreshing, and not cloyingly sweet. Ended up having two drinks (my limit). The frozen mojito was delicious too. When it's cooler, I'll be back to try a more sophisticated cocktail. But this summer, it's all about those frozen delights. Bartender told us that they try to use seasonal fruit; peach is up soon, I heard. I'll have to try it--purely for Yelp research purposes. ;)
