Brewerytown
A community where friends and neighbors can come together and enjoy their surroundings within a little piece of Philadelphia history.
The neighborhood known as Brewerytown is located in North Philadelphia bordering the Schuylkill River. Much like the other niche neighborhoods within Philadelphia, Brewerytown has its own special blend of local residents ranging from students attending the nearby universities and young professionals to lifelong residents, who have always called Brewerytown home. The neighborhood’s name is derived from local history, since Philadelphia is known for being the first in the nation to introduce beer. In the 19th and early 20th Centuries, Philadelphia had nearly 700 breweries and this area was home to the great majority.

One that is close to the hearts of the neighborhood’s residents is Brewerytown Garden, which was originally established as Marathon Garden in 2021 for a farm-to-table restaurant, but quickly grew into an opportunity for families to participate in a community garden. Since its initial opening, the Brewerytown Garden now has space for up to 75 households to garden together.
