Russian River in Philadelphia???

Does anyone know where I can find Russian River beers in bottles or on tap in Philadelphia? I will be in Philly on Monday and would love to score a few bottles to bring back to Virginia.

Thanks!

You can usually get bottles at Monk's Cafe but that's more for drinking there.... and expect to pay dearly also.

I second Monk's. They even occasionally have it on tap.

Monk's can be a dangerous place with the beer selection they have there. Good thing I can take the train home.

Foodery has two locations, 2nd and Poplar and 10th and Pine. Went to the one on Poplar last Saturday and they had Damnation and Supplication.
Just to clarify, the Foodery is a bottle shop, not a bar.

The Foodery is only 3 miles from my hotel! Time to break in a new credit card lol

Beer Heaven on Columbus Blvd and Washington Ave has a nice selection of bottles too. Haven't been there since last month, but I would be surprised if they don't have Russian River.

I know that Origlio Beverage usually has it. It's on the outskirts of Philly on Roosevelt Blvd. Be prepared to buy a whole case though.

Don't be shocked by the prices there... I visited a friend in Philly and stopped by the Foodery for a mixed sixer and ended up spending 22 bucks...

keep in mind PA is a case state. yes you can buy singles, but you pay out the arse for them. Stupid state license regulations. I would second hitting up the foodery for the take home, and there are plenty of other bars to hit while in town. Monks is Monks, but it's always packed in there, and the wait staff is hit ore miss (mostly miss). YMMV.

Not sure where you are, but Kite and Key in the Art Museum area is a great spot. Belgian Cafe (yes, Monk's II) is actually ok. Monk's "proper" is the one I have had issues at. Bishops Collar is another good one. All within 5-6 blocks of each other. Then there is Northern Liberties. Solid beer bars all within a block or two of each other. Have to deal with the influx of the hipster dufus crowd though.

A bit outside of the city but Capones always has bottles of RR stuff and Pliny on tap every once in a while.

Check out PhillyTapFinder.com Philadelphia's craft beer locator. to see what is on tap in the city.

Capone's (Norristown, PA - 15 miles outside Philly) is tapping Salvation today. Other RR is available in bottles for takeout purchase.

Just in case you wander that way!

Foodery is closest if you are just staying downtown. Two locations.

As someone else posted, check phillytapfinder when you get there. They usually update the beers every few days.

If you are in the burbs, there's the Beer Store in Southampton, Capone's in Norristown, and Wegman's in Warrington. There are other, but those are the ones I go to for individual bottles.

Prices from low to high are usually Wegman's, Beer Store, and Capone's. Capone's blew me away with some of their prices. I think RR Damnation was $6.99 at Wegman's, $7.99 at Beer Store and $11 at Capone's.

headed to capones after i get out of this meeting!
