About us

OUR MISSION

We create unfailingly delicious beer that is the centerpiece of Philadelphia’s table. We do whatever it takes to ensure the quality of each beer we serve. At Love City, we take care of each other. We prioritize relationships with our customers, colleagues, and community. We grow at a pace that allows us to maintain these values and priorities. We work hard to demonstrate what a craft brewery should be – a responsible small business that makes outstanding beer while respecting the people that make it possible.

Our Story

From Co-Founder, Melissa Walter:

You could say that beer brought us together. We chatted each other up over the keg at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party. As our love for each other grew, so did our love of good beer. We were introduced to the wonders of craft beer by Kevin’s career with Iron Hill Brewery. We even brewed a beer together for our wedding… on New Year’s Eve 2011!

We’ve found a home here in Philadelphia, a city that’s reclaiming its space on the national stage, but isn’t afraid to be itself. As we got to know Philly, we fell in love with its rich brewing history. We were amazed by the number of breweries that existed here (nearly 700 before Prohibition was enacted). Each neighborhood had a brewery that served the local residents, and beer was a part of every table.

We are making that a reality for our neighbors today. We think you should know your brewer and be able to watch your beer being made.
