Biking For Beer? Manayunk Brewing Co Is A Go-To Spot, Philly Mag Says

MANAYUNK, PHILADELPHIA — With the weather getting nicer, more and more people are hopping on their bikes for fun outings in the Philadelphia region.

And some cyclists are fond of burning a few hundred calories getting to and from places where they can enjoy some empty calories by way of beer.

Philadelphia Magazine recently published a list of the 10 craft breweries to visit according to cyclists in the region.

"Regardless of your preferred terrain, all that pedaling calls for a refreshing post-ride brew," Laura Bryzski and Amanda Paule write for the magazine. "Although the region spoils us with so many breweries, some of them are easier to access by two-wheeler than others."

Among the featured spots is one of Manayunk's most popular places for a beer and a bite.

Manayunk Brewing Company made the cut.

Here's what Philly Mag has to say about Manayunk Brewing Company:

Manayunk Brewing Company is located at the southern end of the Manayunk Canal Towpath, which is part of the greater Schuylkill River Trail. According to Oesterle, a trip to the brewery is good for bikers from various area locations. “It could be a quick, four-mile ride from Center City, or a nice, longer ride — about 18 miles — from Valley Forge or the western suburbs.” Once there, head to the outdoor patio with views of the Schuylkill to enjoy a brew of your choice — the tap list features everything from IPAs to sours — and a dish off the extensive food menu. (We’ve always been a sucker for their sushi.)

Manayunk Brewing Company is located at 4120 Main St. in Manayunk.
