Philadelphia Brewing Company is a family-owned and operated craft brewery located in the heart of Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood. With a rich history dating back to 1885, our brewery is built on a foundation of innovation, tradition, and community involvement. Our story began over a century ago when the Weisbrod and Hess Oriental Brewery was founded in the exact same location where we reside today. Over the years, we have continued to evolve, adapt, and refine our brewing techniques to bring you the best possible beer, with a nod to our rich history and commitment to quality.
