Yards Brewing Company
When Yards Brewing Company opened in 1994, it resuscitated the city’s brewing legacy by ending a decades-long period without any operational breweries.
Now located in a 70,000 square foot facility at 5th and Spring Garden streets, Yards’ 100% wind-powered brewery churns out eight signature beers, a number of seasonals and the Ales of the Revolution line, based on recipes conceived by Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington.
Yards offers brewery tours and visitors are invited to the brewery’s taproom to sample beers while playing shuffleboard and enjoying a full dining menu crafted by chef Jim Burke.
The Visit Philly Overnight Package — booked more than 190,000 times since 2001 — comes with free hotel parking (worth up to $100 in Center City Philadelphia), overnight hotel accommodations and choose-your-own-adventure perks.
