Beer Radar

NBC10, or whatever it calls itself these days, is running a “Best of the Best of” series, compiling the winners in various “best of” awards. This week, it’s doing the best beer joints of Philly

I suppose beer drinkers should be grateful that a local TV station devoted some web space to the craft beer scene. And you certainly can’t complain about the list of bars it singles out: Teresa’s Next Door (voted No. 1 by Philly mag), the Grey Lodge Pub (Fox Philly), Monk’s Cafe (City Search & AOL) and the Foodery ( Around Town).

My problem is the damn photograph that accompanies the report.

Now I know what you’re saying: Those are some nice taps!

But they’re obviously imported - from Britain, I’d guess from the “Axe the Beer Tax” emblems. Instead of illustrating a story about Philly bars with an actual photograph of a Philly bar, NBC10 grabbed a generic shot from Getty Images.

Lazy or just more evidence of newsroom cuts? Does it matter?
