Gotta give it up to the Nodding Head Brewery (1516 Sansom St, 2nd Floor). Was there late Friday for a Nightcap and had a Grog Ale.
From the Menu, “English-Style Brown ale… malty with a medium body and hints of chocolate… makes for a great dark session beer“. It’s 5% alcohol by volume.
There’s about 7 beers on tap there at any moment which they brew there. You can see the brewing equipment behind glass (and thank god it’s that glass with the wire mesh in there because it looks like things got a little rowdy there recently).
The waitstaff is great and they have some nice bar food as well.
Even better is that it is located essentially next to one of my more favorite bars in the city… Oscar’s Tavern.
I will be profiling Oscar’s later in the week but both of these bars are a stone’s throw from Rittenhouse Square and Cougar Country.
F.X. Galvin will have a three part series detailing Cougars, Tigers and Cubs this week also so stay tuned.
