Erik CintronMarch 7, 2016What a fun tour top notch. The beer selection was awesome. The tour guide mike is the one u have to get. He made beer education amazing. Do the 2 sets of flights. Lots of parking. Great prices.
NatalieMarch 6, 2016Make sure you WAIT for a tour with Mike. He is the best and the most fun tour guide I've ever had. Great experience. Also, the revolutionary beer flight was very good and only $6.
Bre BonnerMay 12, 2016The staff was very knowledgable and helpful with finding beers that I liked. The Philadelphia Pale Ale w/ grapefruit on the cask is my favorite. Try the Tavern Ale and Spruce!
Christine ANovember 2, 2013This place is amazing! If you can, take a free tour with Mike, he was funny and knew everything. A must see if you come to Philly!
Home Sweet BeerOctober 24, 2013I really love the smell of malt around the brewery. Try the flights to understand the diversity of beer flavours. If you love bacon, go for Smoke 45 Malt Liquor, a liquid bacon!
Jinny ArteagaOctober 22, 2017I just had a really great tour with Christian. He was super funny and very knowledgeable! The beer is absolutely amazing. The ESA and the Brawler are the ones to get.
loran jonakMay 23, 2015Many great beers to choose from and if you get there on the weekend when the food truck is there, their food is great also
Senator Bob CaseyJuly 30, 2013I'm pushing for legislation that would cut taxes for small breweries. The Small BREW Act would help small breweries like Yards Brewing by cutting the excise tax that small breweries pay. Read more
John Coats VIJune 27, 2017The seasonal beers are really good, and their standards are solid staples. What I love most is how exceptionally nice and helpful the staff is.
Christoffer JakobsenSeptember 4, 2016Great service, good selection of beer, nice space with everything from brewery tours to pool and shuffleboard tables.
Liz RattrayOctober 13, 2016Need to come back for a tour. Chill afternoon at the tap house - came away with a mixed 6-pack and a growler of our fav Yards brews.
Love this place. Very laid back. They have a limited food menu; grilled cheese, bison chilly, tasty cakes. My favorite beer is the poor Richards, definately different. Great beer and people.
Allie IlaganJanuary 30, 2012Philly brewery Yards made a sudsy ale specially for the 2011 Philadelphia Science Festival: E=MC Beered. Don't miss the free weekend brewery tours and tasting room, or Tuesday night beer Quizzo.
Philadelphia Science FestivalApril 8, 2013Taste beer + food pairings as sensory scientists and brewers from Yards demonstrate the sensory properties + chemistry behind these local brews. Open bar + treats from local eateries. 4/26 7-10. $55 Read more
Great beer, sustainable operation too! If you don't know what to get, start with a flight of the ales of the revolution.
One of my favorite breweries. I recommend the chili and bison sausages from the tasting room while you try some of their smaller batches of beer.
Donovan MaguiganSeptember 14, 2015Food truck on Saturday makes for a great day of sampling. Tours are entertaining.
Dan JonesAugust 21, 2014Shuffleboard for daaaays. Their summer Pynk beer was tart and refreshing. They give tours of the brewing facilities too!
Bridget CastillaDecember 15, 2011Buy your holiday presents here! Beer glasses, hats, t-shirts, and a Yards metal sign. They even have Yards dog collars!They gave us a free canvas Yards tote bag since we bought so much!
Nick OlsonAugust 30, 2016Can get crowded but look for space in the corners of the room (or else plan to arrive early); they dedicate space for growler fills
UntappdAugust 24, 2012Right on the water front, enjoy the large tap room made from all recycled products. We mean everyone - the tables, chairs and couches. There is shuffleboard here!
Brad RodriguezMarch 24, 2017Probably the IPAs? I'm not a fan, but if you are there are plenty. If not, might as well find a place with more selection.
Hollie SickJanuary 25, 2015Their four signatures are gluten free. Great for hosting parties and have a great selection.
DanOctober 13, 2013Rotating food trucks are sometimes out front. Grab some grub from one and bring it inside. Then enjoy it with some fine beers and billiards!
Jason VelykisFebruary 17, 2013Seriously... Yards just makes awesome beer. Period. There really isn't any beer here that you can go wrong with. Good luck deciding!
James RussellAugust 11, 2014Fun spot to grab a beer in their tasting room... Very open to hosting charity, alumni, or other group events...
Wayne Paychex CutterAugust 2, 2014Frank the bartender is a major douch. A first class little man d-bag. But the beer here is great!
Nisha DesaiFebruary 3, 2013Trubble seasonal beer is great! Not sold in most bars due to it's 9.3% alcohol content. Must buy if you're already here!
Megan TetuSeptember 23, 2011Smoke em if you've got em festival at yards brewing company. Forty different smoked beers, tons of BBQ, and one badass smoketruck! Come check us out!
Jake SmithDecember 12, 2011Grab a Tavern Ale (8% ABV!) and a grilled cheese, then challenge someone to a game on the Shuffleboard table.
Ask for Mike Hans as your tour guide. You will not be disappointed!
Glen BischoffJanuary 30, 2015Closes earlish on the weekends so get there earlier. Casino is walking distance
Melis HeerensJuly 7, 2012Take the tour! Free beer. I'm sure all the employees are sloshed, which is awesome!
