History this city has a colorful past, from its frontier founding at the time of the American Revolution, to early 19th century steamboats and as a Union base during the Civil War.

The American Revolution also took place in Philadelphia’s taverns and, through most of the 19th and part of the 20th century, this city was home to over 90 breweries; hence the appellation Cradle of American Libation. The craft beer boom began in the 1980s and helped it regain its reputation as one of the preeminent beer cities in the country and around the world.
