Dock Street Brewing Company

Dock Street Brewing Company is an independent craft brewing company with a 10,500 square foot brewpub and production brewery in the Point Breeze neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, and a 1,000 square foot tasting room in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia.

Established in 1985, it claims to be the first craft brewing company based in the Philadelphia area following Prohibition[2] and one of the first in the country.

[3] In 1989, the pair opened a brewpub in the Logan Square neighborhood of Center City, Philadelphia's central business district.

[7] In 2007, the brewery reopened as a pizza-centric brewpub in the former Firehouse Farmers Market in the Cedar Park neighborhood in West Philadelphia.

Dock Street Brewery West was named one Philly's Best Pizza Places in 2011 by Philadelphia (magazine) as voted for 'The Best Toppings.'

In 2014, Dock Street Brewery released Dock Street Walker, a beer brewed with roasted goat brains in honor of the AMC television show The Walking Dead, a favorite of then-Head Brewer Justin Low and current Assistant Brewer Sasha Certo-Ware.

The barrel was fitted with a custom speaker set, build by Certo-Ware, that played the music of Wu Tang Clan on repeat 24/7 for six months.

In 2020, Dock Street partnered with Exyn Technologies[14] on the World's First Drone-Assisted beer, Dock Street Swarm Intelligence,[15] a Pale Ale brewed with local orange blossom honey, repeatedly hopped with small bursts of Ekuanot and Chinook throughout the boil, and dry hopped with Ekuanot, Mosaic, and Chinook.

In January 2012, the company partnered with the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia, its former neighbor, to jointly brew four limited-quantity, seasonal beers for sale in the hotel's Swann Lounge: The Truffled Old Ale, Caliente Golden Ale, Cherry Verbena Saison, and Spanish Fly.

The beer sold out quickly from the brewpub thanks to fans of Chill Moody and Dock Street coming to buy cases at a time, and limited amounts were allocated to select bars and restaurants in Philadelphia as well.

The label had many easter eggs that nodded to each city and the significance of the collaboration, including an eagle in honor of the Philadelphia Eagles, an axolotl, the mascot of Dock Street Brewing Co.'s sister spirits company, Dock Street Spirit's Vicio Mezcal, and a key, the symbol of Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and doorways.

Dock Street gives away a glass of a special and rare beer, announced in advance each month, to any adult that brings a donation for the initiative.

From 1987-1993, the cast of the U.S. television series Thirtysomething was frequently seen drinking bottles of Dock Street Amber Ale on the show.
