Brewing Success: How Philly Breweries Are Transforming Real Estate

How are breweries changing the landscape of urban neighborhoods?

By ULI PHILADELPHIA

The growth of craft breweries and brewpubs over the past 20 years has helped revitalize neighborhoods throughout our region and the rest of the country. As their numbers have grown, many are choosing to locate in older and abandoned buildings, and are retrofitting them with tanks, kettles and casks, becoming centerpieces for economic development and transformation.

Hear from developers, designers, neighbors, and local craft brew masters on strategies for attracting consumers and creating vibrant communities where families can plant roots and small businesses can thrive. Beer samples plus your first cold one included.
