Yards Brewery Tour, Philly PA.
Last week I was lucky enough to tour the new Yards Brewery in Philadelphia. The building was formerly the “Title 10″ skatepark so it was weird going in there and seeing bottling machines where the ramps used to be. And yes, we got all the free beer we could drink!!! I think my photos even got more crooked and blurry as the tour went on. Yards has some great beer and they even brew beer from George Washington and Benjamin Franklin’s original recipes. I wonder if Obama has his own recipe yet? Forget the “which guy you’d rather have a beer with” scenario of voting. We should just turn our elections into brewing competitions and let the best man win.
…if we did that, this guy on the right would be our new president. Tom, the Yards owner, with the KFN staff.
Fresh kegs getting filled.
Chocolate Malts. They even let us eat some. Yummy.
This BMX dude keeps an eye on the bottling line. How awesome is that?
Box machine thing. Look at those bottles stacked to the ceiling on the right!
Where the big bowl used to be. They never let bikes on it anyway, so I’m actually glad it’s gone. F that S.
This is Hops, the official Yards dog.
And these are hops for brewing. Looks like weeds, smells like weed, but it won’t get you high. Damn.
And finally every drunkard’s dream, drinking straight from the taps. Gotta love it. Remember kids, drinking is bad mmm’kay?
