Really cool space. The beer is beer flavored, nothing special. I will go back.

Awesome!
I went on a Monday afternoon. It was very chill inside with some light music and a few friends just hanging out inside. I got the Pilsner, really good. They have a lot of indoor seating and a bunch of seating outside as well. Plenty of parking in their lot, so you don’t have to worry about street parking. The bartender at the time was great, she’s super friendly. Bought a pint glass for a souvenir!

I'm honestly surprised we haven't been here before.

For one, the spot is exactly what I want from a local brewery. There is a good amount of inside seats but the outdoor seating is plentiful and diverse. We sat in the backyard area but they have tables across the street, which also would be a lovely time. Cornhole available in the backyard area.

In terms of the beer options, there's a nice amount of variety. I enjoyed the IPA I got and for $7/pint, this seemed very reasonable. The bartender was a delight-super nice, super friendly, and really seemed to want to socialize with the customers. I wouldn't necessarily buy these beers to go, but would come back to try some of the other ones in house.

The parking in the area is super easy, which is always a plus for Fishtown/adjacent.

What’s up with the person behind the register? Always rude and combative whenever we come in and order. We’re not the only ones who noticed this. We love coming here but seriously, what’s the deal with his attitude?

We rented out the upstairs tasting room for a pre-wedding event, and it was perfect! Angela was the best at helping us coordinate and bring the event to life, and her staff was amazing throughout the evening. The space is huge and you can really make it what you’d like by bringing in your own food. You don’t even need to decorate because it’s already so beautiful. We are so happy with our decision to host our event here!

After a brief history lesson from Nancy that helped contextualize the space, Augustine led us on a once in a lifetime detailed brewery tour. We learned about the process from start to finish. He was receptive to every question we asked and was all smiles. We were so glad he indulged all of our curiosities. Of course the beer was great too! We will be back. Thank you

Tip Top, small, cozy brewery with many different beer specialties. We recommend.

I have only ever ordered beers to-go, but man, have I ordered a LOT of beers to-go! They're all highly accessible beers with exceptional, agreeable flavors. You can't go wrong picking any one of them, but my favorites are Space Cowboy and their Session IPA. Harvest from the Hood is also incredible, doubly so since they use their home grown hops to make it! My big suggestion is that you try every single beer before picking a favorite, because I truly did not like IPAs before trying some of theirs. I also love how cat-focused they are, with fundraisers benefiting the PSPCA and the brews dedicated to their hard working brewery cats (some of whom I've seen meandering the street as I've passed by- love you Duke!!!)They do sell really cool merchandise inside, which I've been meaning to buy- catnip, bottle openers, shirts, and more! All seem to be high quality and reasonably priced (much like their beers)

Nice place for have a beers ?

Our home away from home. The loveliest people (both staff and regulars), a large and cozy space, and refreshing beer. They couldn’t be friendlier to our puppy who absolutely adores it here and whines when they’re closed (which fortunately is not often).

Steve Havelka

Very good cocktails, wonderful atmosphere, delicious ciders and craft brews, and the best low rent beer in existence. Get yourself a six pack of Kenzinger to go, my pal.They want me to update this review for more points, but my original review stands.

Extremely chill atmosphere. Great spot for a quick drink, a date, or a meet up with pals. Has a really cool fenced in outdoor space across the street that's great for larger groups, events, or bringing your dogs, and a closed in outdoor patio section to the left of the bar for more private gatherings. Additionally there tends to be a food truck outside that happens to also have some of the best Shrimp tacos and specialty cheese steaks I've ever had. Amazing spot all in all. Highly recommend.

Hands down the Joe Coffee Porter is the best beer around! I’ve moved to the Poconos and no one has it in stock. It’s a huge shock and if anyone knows a way to ship it out for Christmas time lmk!
