Victory Prima Pils: PW's 50-Beer Countdown to Philly Beer Week, Day 39
The pale little pilsner is the most consumed beer style in the world, and among beer snobs the most scorned. They tend to be light, yellow, fizzy and not much else. When done right, though, pilsner is a style proving that less can be more.

Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale: PW's 50-Beer Countdown to Philly Beer Week, Day 38
Before “black IPA” was a thing, Dogfish Head was hopping up dark ales to then-preposterous levels, making Indian Brown Ale an early hybrid brew that defied style.

Magic Hat #9: PW's 50-Beer Countdown to Philly Beer Week, Day 37
Fans see it for what it is: a refreshing, easy drinking beer that seems ready made for a summer day. It’s brewed with apricots — or rather, apricot extract — but not so much that it’s embarrassingly fruity.

Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA: PW's 50-Beer Countdown to Philly Beer Week, Day 36
In a state that boasts breweries like Tröegs, Victory and Yards, Weyerbacher is in the unenviable position of having to stand out among the embarrassment of riches that is Pennsylvania beer.

Urban Enoteca's 'Wine Bar' Charges an Arm and a Leg for Even the Most Uninspired Brands
By Brian FreedmanYou know the moment at the end of a date, that nanosecond between the time you decide to go in for a kiss and the moment your lips actually touch for the first time? That’s kind of how I get right before opening the list at a wine bar I’ve never been to. But reading the glass list at Urban Enoteca was the equivalent of making out with a dead fish.

Better Than Best: Bars
By PW StaffPW's drunks think Locust Bar is the best straight bar that's turning into a gay bar. They also think Abby's Desert Lounge is the best place to catch an awesome cover band. Cheers!

Bar Review: Local 44
By Rachel Riot and Kunoichi EricaFinding a good bar is like finding a soul mate. The very air around you should sing softly of future memories forged on the strength of the bond created upon that first fateful meeting. When your foot crosses the threshold for the first time, the force of the atmosphere should drag you forward like a willing victim into Dracula’s castle. The personality of the bar should fold itself around you, whispering assurances that you have indeed entered a space that is alive: with excitement, with curiosity, with warmth.
