I look forward to checking out more pubs when I come back up in February. Since SPTR and POPE are within walking distance to my sis' house I'm sure I'll be back to each of these places.
The Grey Lodge on frankford ave is a great bar with a great selection of beers, also a awesome create your own 6 pack store several miles north on frankford ave called The Craft Beer outlet is where i probalbly spend a little to much money sometimes but its hard to resist trying so many different beers from such a huge selection and the employees always are helpful with alot of the selection its a must visit oh yeah they also have local breweries on occasion as guest with tastings
I've been to that store...You're right!! Super wide selection and very a beer and spirits educated staff.

Is anyone else going to Philly's winter beer fest in Jan. I need a DD. HA! Just Kidding but it sounds awesome. They are going to have some really good vendors there.
I was so happy to stumble upon Jose Pistola's when taking my wife to see Lion King. I thought to myself "Mexican food AND craft beer, I must be dreaming!" And on the night I happened to be there they had Houblon Chouffee (Belgian IPA) on tap! So awesome!
Anyways... out here in the burbs we have some good spots: Blue Dog (Lansdale and Chalfont), Via Marconi Pizza Pub in Hatfield (last I was there they had Stone RIS, 21st Amendment Hop Crisis, Ballast Point Big Eye and several others on tap), and Muggs in Doylestown.
If you are ever in the SE or Central Bucks County areas, Isaac Newton's in Newtown is a great option for the craft beer lover. They have an ever-changing selection of brews on tap, usually with every style being represented with at least one quality option. They usually also host nights showcasing a particular brewer about once a month.
The Iron Abbey in Horsham is another good bet in this area.
