Yards Brewing Co.

Yards Brewing Company has been proudly brewing in the City of Brotherly Love since 1994. The regional craft producer has grown from a garage-sized operation in the Manayunk section of Philly to Roxborough, Kensington, Northern Liberties, and now to our newest location – a 70,000 square foot brewery and taproom – at 500 Spring Garden Street.
Philadelphia Pale Ale and Brawler, both nationally recognized ales, lead a balanced portfolio of quality, handcrafted beers including eight year-round offerings and several seasonal and limited releases. Founder, Tom Kehoe, and the Yards crew share a commitment to supporting the good people and organizations making their backyard a better place to live and work.
It’s all about working hard, having fun and giving back. Drink local. Brew Unto Others.
