America’s Best Beer-Drinking City, exhibit No. 3
Bryan Kolesar at the Brew Lounge has compiled a spreadsheet of what’s on tap at 15 - yes, 15 - beer joints throughout northern Chesco this weekend. I don’t know what’s more awesome: the fact that he managed to actually get 15 bar managers to actually tell him what they plan to tap, or the vast number of styles that will be pouring.
Check out these stats:
15 locations
185 beers (121 unique)
57 unique styles
14 styles show up on more than 3 tap handles (totaling 59 beers)
Most frequently found beer: Victory HopDevil (8 times)
Most common style: American Pale Ale (8 times)
Ales outnumber Lagers: 88-33
Fifty-seven unique styles. That’s diversity - one of the hallmarks of Philly’s beer-drinking culture. Also, when did Chester County become such a hotbed of craft beer?

As part of my wrap-up of this “little experiment,” I’m asking everyone who may have checked it out at The Brew Lounge to stop by for a very short and quick survey. It will help me (and the owners/brewers) decide if and how to do this again. Thanks everyone!
