Over a hundred years ago, Philadelphia was known as the greatest brewing center in the United States. With the advent of mass produced, or macro, brands, the specialist skill of brewing fell into decline in the city for many years. However, consumer demand for better tasting, smooth drinking brews revived the micro brewery, and today Philadelphia is rapidly becoming a go-to destination for connoisseurs of the art of brewing beer.
