13 Best Craft Breweries near Swarthmore

Ship Bottom Brewery - Blendery & Barrel House Brewery •
5 Park Ave, Swarthmore

“I recently stopped by this craft brewery to kill some time before heading to my girlfriend's bands performance. This place looked cool from the outside, so I went inside to try a few beers out. Looking at their menu, they offered a nice selection. I tried one of their IPA's along with their Oktoberfest Lager. I enjoyed both of these brews. The Oktoberfest went down very smoothly, and you can't go wrong with an IPA, as it was very flavorful and fruity. They offered a bunch of benches and tables for seats as well as lots of bar sitting. The place was pretty crowded for a Saturday, but a good vibe to it. Overall, I had a good time here drinking a few beers.“

Carbon Copy Brewery • $$
701 S 50th St, Philadelphia - 7.44 miles

“Fantastic beers! Keen (a dark mild) and Gully (IPA) are personal favorites but they have sooo many different varieties from sours to porters. Also love the wine, particularly the Pinot Gris, and my sister enjoyed the Riesling. The pizza is delicious, love the mushroom pizza and they usually have some kind of yummy special. The buffalo wings have a great heat and are juicy with plenty of meat—I don’t even like wings but these are ones I crave. Lots of veggie options, too—salads, yummy fried artichoke app, and pizzas. The ambiance is clean, colorful, and warm, and the service is always great. And they have soft serve with chocolate syrup!!“

Death of the Fox Brewing Company Brewery • $$
119 Berkley Rd Unit B, Clarksboro - 8.97 miles

“My favorite coffee shop in the area. The unique flavors are really fun, and they've all been good so far. The brown sugar cold brew with ube sweet foam was amazing. I'm always in and out really fast with to go orders... I find myself waiting longer for Dunkins, and it's not half as good as this is. But it's also a nice place to hang out in and read.“

Hangman Brewing Brewery • $
2703 Philadelphia Pike, Claymont - 9.68 miles

“Upon arriving in the city of brotherly love and in need for a place to unwind, I reached out to noted tastemaker Ron from Delco. He suggested I head to Hangman Brewery if I was up for a little drive. Apparently this was Kevin Hayes's favorite spot until they stopped serving Mountain Dew Code Red. Well, Hangman did not disappoint! Immediately I was greeted by a dog (nice) and the unmistakable vibes that are only accompanied by live music. Things only got better as I visited the food truck for some sliders and pickles that can only be described as "quite good." The shining star of the visit was the robust selection of beers which also earn the designation of "quite good." Hangman earned a stamp of approval from Ron from Delco and I'm happy to say it has earned mine as well.“

“Had a great time at Manayunk Brewing Company and gotta give it 5 stars! Matt, the bartender, was top-notch, making sure we were all set with drinks and good times. We dove into the buffalo chicken dip first, so good – just the right kick. The Spicy jalapeño margaritas? Spot on. And the arugula and goat cheese flatbread was the kind of thing you'd want to eat every day – fresh, with a bit of tang from the goat cheese, just perfect. It's clear these folks know what they're doing, from the warm service to the tasty eats.“
