Our Town Brewery: Expanding Excellence to the City of Brotherly Love

As avid enthusiasts of the craft beer scene, we have always been on the lookout for establishments that not only offer an exceptional selection of brews but also create an atmosphere where patrons can truly unwind and enjoy the experience. One such standout from our Lancaster review was the beloved Our Town Brewery. “which opened in September 2020. We have a 10bbl system that offers a mix of traditional beer styles and more experimental brews. Our brewery is a perfect place to grab a bite to eat while sipping on one of our many beers on draft.”  Our Town Taproom quickly became a favorite.

Thus, you can imagine our excitement when we learned that they have opened a second location, our town taproom in the city of brotherly love.

**Lancaster**

The original Our Town Taproom in Lancaster set a high standard. Nestled in the heart of the city, it became a local gem where beer aficionados and casual drinkers alike could come together. There home base building is truly something special. “nearly 100 year old building originally housed Chamber’s General Tire Company. The main space that our brewery and pub occupies was a showroom floor for cars.”

**Welcome to Philadelphia**

Now, with their expansion to Philadelphia, Our Town Taproom brings their signature blend of hospitality and quality to a broader audience. While the Philadelphia taproom doesn’t have the same rich history as Lancaster spot, it still brings a great vibe. A much smaller space but nestled right into the Fairmount neighborhood. Sporting a back deck for an outside space as well as room out front to sit on the street.

The taproom also has the ability to go full open air in the front on nice days. Same great beer just hitting a different sections of the keystone state!

**The Atmosphere**

Walking into the Philadelphia location, you'll immediately feel the same welcoming vibe that makes the Lancaster taproom so special. The interior design has components  urban chic elements, creating a space that feels both trendy and timeless. Large windows allow natural light to flood the room during the day, while in the evening, the warm lighting creates an intimate setting perfect for enjoying a pint with friends.

**A Celebration of Craft Beer**

One of the most exciting aspects of Our Town Taproom's expansion is the beer menu. They continue to celebrate the diversity of craft beer, offering a rotating selection that features all their great beers from Lancaster. Whether you're a fan of hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, or crisp lagers, there's something on tap to satisfy every palate. Their compartment to the craft is clear from their company history. The owners “began dreaming up their vision for Our Town Brewery while homebrewing during college at Penn State. They went on to get jobs together at Otto’s Pub & Brewery, the local brewpub in State College, to begin researching the industry. Their time at multiple breweries over the years has driven home the theme that breweries are huge parts of the communities that they operate in.”

**Final Thoughts**

The opening of Our Town Brewery’s second location in Philadelphia is a testament to their success and the love they've garnered from their patrons. By staying true to their roots while embracing the unique spirit of Philadelphia, they have created a space that feels familiar yet fresh. Whether you're a long-time fan from Lancaster or a new visitor in Philly, Our Town  promises an experience that celebrates the best of craft beer and community. We eagerly look forward to many more visits and recommend that you do the same – come raise a glass in the City of Brotherly Love.
