America’s Best Beer-Drinking City, exhibit No. 6
PHL is the best beer-drinking aiport in America, according to the May/June issue of Draft magazine.* The piece mentions Jet Rock’s 48 taps in Terminals B,C,D & F, but according to the Brew Lounge at least one of those was turned into a Chickie’s & Pete’s last year. Anybody know the current status?
No matter, locals know the best beer at the airport is at the Independence Brewpub in the B-C connector. It’s not really a brewpub but it features many local drafts. Uh, never mind - Bryan Kolesar of the Brew Lounge reports that closed, too, and may now be a (gasp) wine bar.
The rest of Draft’s list:
- Mineapolis-St. Paul
- JFK
- Boston Logan
- Seattle-Tacoma
- LAX
- Salt Lake City (!)
- Dulles
- Denver
- Portland
- Cincinnati
- St. Louis
- Cleveland
- Atlanta
*Disclosure: I write for Draft mag, but I didn’t have anything to do with this list.

Chickie’s & Pete’s replaced the Jet Rock at the end of C Concourse last month.

Interesting that Gordon Biersch and Anchor outposts at SFO are not enough to get on a list with the likes of Atlanta (a little Sweetwater here, a lot of Sam there, with an occasional Hoegaarden thrown in)
