Foodery

Posted in Distributors by Jon on the September 21st, 2006

I did not know exactly how to categorize this particular passage. There are categories regarding breweries, seasonal, and a general category about the site. How does the common beer drinker, nay the common man in today’s society navigate his way to higher learning about beer? We may provide the words, but we do not provide the squeeze. We do not make available the internet bourgeois, a guide to sample or dabble in these fine goods because our site does not have the category labeled “BEER STORES” or “DISTRIBUTORS.” Well I tell you my fellow serfs; it is my purpose in this particular blog to shed such light on where we may find many of the beers we discuss on Mugwarrior.

Today’s topic…The Foodery. If you are familiar with or frequent The Foodery, this is all old hat to you, so I recommend perusing the rants of Tim and his many Victorious moods. If you know not of the The Foodery, then continue to read. “The Foodery is located at 10th and Pine street in downtown Philadelphia; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for those of you from Mississippi. It is the beer addict’s kingpin. It is where I have discovered and experimented with many of the beers I have tried in my life. It is where I was able to sooth the cravings of my wheat beer desires with the likes of Franziskaner, and Paulaner. It is where I was able to try the many different varieties of Chimay, only to realize the only good one is the expensive one. Sadly, The Foodery’s massive inventory has also fooled me into thinking that all beer is good. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury exhibit A…Aass Beer. Fortunately, a Guinness chaser was all that was needed to soothe the disappointment of a less than tasty beer. (If you have a different or similar experience with the Aass, please reply to this blog.) OK, no more writing, I am now thirsty and thinking about a trip to The Foodery…takers?

Update: We added a distributors category since this one was written.

    Just a thought about exhibit A… Were you really that surprised the beer tasted like Aass?

    There is a new foodery location on the 700 block of n. 2nd st. I have yet to visit but by all accounts they have a larger selection, actual food, and a place to drink your beer on site. Pretty sweet and they have the mix a six there just like the original.

    God bless The Foodery, an unsung hero which belongs front and center in the first edition of Frommers Philadelphia. Eff a Liberty Bell, and a eff a Geno’s… The Foodery is the true Mecca of Philadelphia.

    The Foodery has a warm place in my heart. Where else can a girl get Ring Dings and a mix-a-six of various porters. The new foodery on North Second is fancy-schmancy!
