Summertime is here, and so are Philadelphia’s amazing array of beer gardens. A new, mobile brew-sipping addition to the beer garden roster has caught our eye: Parks on Tap.
Now though October 2, Parks on Tap is bringing a mobile beer garden to a different city park each week. The program will feature two trucks at each location, one with regional craft beers, wine and non-alcoholic beverages, and the other with snacks and sandwiches. Plenty of seating and a wide array of activities will also be on offer, including live music, games and outdoor yoga.
The lineup of Parks on Tap locales is as follows:
