    Tasting glass
    Lauren S.

    So I saw a groupon for tour, tasting and whiskey glass to Red Brick Craft Distillery and being a tour lover bought the two person option for my boyfriend and I check the place out (As of today, 3/14, the deal is still available for 1, 2 or 4 people). The groupon didn't list the hours and there website wasn't the most helpful in terms of hour either but they have a facebook page and that had hours listed as Sat/Sun 1-5. We walked up and there a small sign and number on the door to call. Seemed a little sketchy at 1st but we called Zach, said the number on the door said to call and he said he be right there to let us in. After walking down a long hallway we were pleasantly surprised to see a small but very nice bar tasting area. We present our groupon to Zach he got us our glasses and Teekay the bartender started us off with our samples. We tired the Simple Shine sugar wash rum and the Simple Shine sugar wash rum infused in pineapple. Before grabbing a drink to take on the tour with us. Zach went over the products they are making Simple Shine sugar wash rum and Simple Shine sugar wash rum infused in pineapple, Whiskey and Into the Woods (Birch Beer) liquor. They use local ingredients, getting there malt from nearby Deer Creek Malthouse which we were informed has a tour so I may have to look into checking out. And they recycle their water during the distilling process. We got to smell many of the in progress products. View all the machinery and barrel room. Its small but very efficient. They are currently using gallon and three gallon barrel so they can age the Whiskey faster but hope to in the future upgrade to 5 gallon barrels. They are only selling the Simple Shine sugar wash rum. They just got approved to sell the Simple Shine sugar wash rum infused in pineapple and working on getting the label approved. The Whiskey is aging and will be ready sometime around May and the Into the Woods (Birch Beer) liquor is also aging and will be ready sometime around July. After the tour we went back to the tasting room where we had the pleasure of chatting with Matt who's in charge of their sales and distribution. We learned a few area bars and restaurant currently serving Simple Shine sugar wash rum and that one place, Bishop Collar, actually has some of the Simple Shine sugar wash rum infused in pineapple. Teekay made us some off the menu drinks and we each bought a bottle of the Simple Shine sugar wash rum which is going for $28.99. Drinks go for around $9 which seems like a steal for how good all the cocktails we had were. Make you way to Red Brick Craft Distillery its totally worth the trip, we will be back for the Whiskey and Birch Beer Liquor!

    Had an informal tour here, and I really enjoyed talking to the guy running the distillation about the process. Cool place, with cool drinks!

    My daughter and I drove down to West Philadelphia for a show, we arrived early and found this gem…read more So we decided to have a drink before going to our comedy show at another business down the road. A huge SHOUTOUT to bartender MAX. He was spectacular, friendly and full of energy. He educated both of us about there Gins. 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 offer a unique experience with views of its copper pot stills and seasonal menus.

    Great vibe in the place, but the service is a bit... weird? A few people in our group arrived…read moreearlier and were already seated inside. A few more came and were shown to the table without difficulty but when the last two in our party arrived, they were stopped at the front. When they explained they were looking for people already seated inside and told them the name on the reservation, the hostess said that they have a lot of different parties inside and wouldn't know where the table is so my friends would have to go in and find the table themselves. Meanwhile, she has an iPad where she can look up our reservation which she had done just 15 minutes prior for others in our group. The drinks are interesting and pretty good. Keep in mind they're gin based and I thought they were pretty strong. The food options are very limited, but the potatoes were good.

    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.

    In theory this was a place we were going to love. In the end, it was a bit of a letdown. Don't get…read moreme wrong, the drinks are fine. 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.
