Beer Radar

I’ve confirmed a tip that the Foodery, the city’s superb takeout beer store, is scouting around for a third location. (It already runs shops at 10th and Pine, Center City; and 2nd & Poplar, Northern Liberties.)

Company reps have eyeballed properties in Manayunk and Chestnut Hill, and most recently spoke with development officials in Roxborough. It has no solid plans, yet.

Heading up to the northest section of the city should be a no-brainer. It’s basically middle-class with a growing young population, and it’s  almost completely beer-deprived when it comes to takeout beer.  The Trolley Car in Mt. Airy has an OK selection in a pinch, but there’s absolutely nothing that’s even half as varied as the Foodery till you get out to Capone’s in Norristown.

I’ve been telling license holders to check out Roxborough ever since I moved out here a decade ago. My personal beer budget could keep a good-sized store afloat for at least six months.
