Riley & Friends Beer Walk
An annual excuse to drink our way across Fishtown and Kensington.
Every summer, a shrinking-then-growing group of friends spends a day walking to as many breweries, cideries, and taprooms as we can reach on foot — one drink at each, try everything, try not to die. This is where we keep score.

Where it started: a Fourth of July dare to see how much of Fishtown's beer scene we could cover in one day.

Every stop, ranked
All thirteen places we've hit across both years, mapped, tiered by our Momentum Scale, and rated honestly.
How this started
Fishtown has more than 20 breweries, cideries, and taprooms in a few square miles. That felt like a problem we could solve.
