Philly proper may get most of the area’s positive craft beer press, but brew lovers would be remiss to not make the quick trip down the Main Line to Ardmore’s Tired Hands Fermentaria.
This Belgo-French cafe-brewery has won some of the world’s most prestigious awards, including second place in ratebeer.com’s ranking of the best new breweries on earth.
What makes Tired Hands special? Flavorful yet simple beers with inventive names like “Perfectly Preserved Brain” and “Beautiful Crystalline Structure” are brewed in one room and served in the next, which aligns with the brewery and taproom’s focus on local ingredients and materials.
Those looking to munch on something while they imbibe can enjoy house-made bread fermented with ale yeast, house-brined and pickled snacks and locally sourced cheeses, charcuterie and produce.
The popular tap room has expanded to a second location, called St. Oner’s, in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood and also operates a seasonal biergarten in Mt. Airy, where city dwellers and visitors alike can find a rotating selection of Tired Hands beers on tap and in cans.
It’s Philly’s biggest year yet!
