Philadelphia’s craft beer scene just keeps on rising.

This Tuesday, October 21, 2nd Story Brewing Co. opens in Old City, bringing a fresh batch of hand-crafted brews to Philly.

The name of Old City’s newest brewpub, 2nd Story, refers to its employees’ personal passions and the location of the brewing tanks on the second floor of the Chestnut Street building. Moreover, the name is also fitting in that this new brewery represents a second life for the former Triumph Brewing Company space.

It’s the bilevel restaurant and bar, though, that most visitors will want the full story on.

A rustic casual farm-to-table restaurant pairs with the brewery, and both go far beyond paying lip service to regional and seasonal ingredients from area farms — it’s part of the restaurant’s DNA.

Owner Debbie Grady actually also owns Tilted Barn Farm in Pottstown, Pa., and the farm connection will be highly evident on menus — even the hops for head brewer John Wible’s classic and contemporary creations will be sourced from Tilted Barn.

The opening menu focuses on farm-fresh food, like American favorites such as chili, fig and bleu cheese salad and steak.

As for the drafts, the opening list includes four house ales and lagers and five rotating taps with one cask engine. Seasonal selections might include Great Harvest Pumpkin Ale, Tilted Barn Saison and Colonial Porter, and there will also be a bottle list of craft domestics and ciders as well as house cocktails.

The two-floor dining space seats 200, and a beer garden gives patrons even more room to stretch out.

We expect many a great story to develop within these walls.
