West Chester's Boxcar Brewing Named Among Best Beer Spots In Philly Suburbs By Philly.com

WEST CHESTER, PA — A West Chester brewery has been included on a food and drink critic's list of the best beer spots in the Philadelphia suburbs.

Philly.com's Craig LaBan produced the list of spots around the region, including Boxcar Brewing in West Chester.

Here's what the review had to say:

'Boxcar, which opened in 2010, added this lively brewpub in downtown West Chester as a smart alternative to the crowded distribution market. The space hosts frequent performances, but it's mostly been a showcase for the improved consistency of Boxcar's beers. Among its well-balanced takes on common styles, I liked the citrusy 1492 American Pale and the malty Passenger English mild. The locally driven menu, meanwhile, delivered a delicate salad with Chester County Asian pears and goat cheese to counter the hearty comfort of a tender chicken schnitzel over a sweet potato waffle and tasty Boxtoberfest-infused brats with house-fermented kraut and whole-grain spaetzle."

Boxcar Brewing is located on 142 E. Market Street.
