One thing that I love about living in the Philadelphia region is the city’s devotion to great beer. Almost every bar has at least a few craft beers on tap, and many go way beyond that. The art of enjoying delicious brews is embedded into the rich history of the area, with Philadelphia’s own Benjamin Franklin having said, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
Even better, amazing beer selections aren’t limited to within the city limits, and Bucks County is home to some beer menus that would put many city bars to shame! Check out Bucks Happening’s picks for the Top 10 Beer Bars in Bucks County. (more…)
