Philly Beer Week happens this month, and that got us thinking: What is the best local brew out there? So to answer that question, we sampled, then we sampled some more. We argued over the best beer in each particular style and who would be the overall champ — One Beer to Rule Them All.
And then, when all that was done, we ranked the top 25 best local beers and stacked them the way your old man or the corner bar would.
So behold — the Philly Beeramid of Excellence. And drink up.
