Step back in time—and raise a glass—to the stories that built a nation.

Philadelphia isn’t just the cradle of American Liberty; it was a brewing capital of the New World. From the first commercial vineyards to the smoky taverns where revolution was whispered, alcohol has flowed through the veins of the city since the 1680s.

Join us at the historic Christ Church Burial Ground for a walking tour that uncovers the "spirited" side of some iconic figures. We’re pulling on the threads of Founding Fathers, doctors, writers, and artists who used beer, cider, and wine to fuel a new society.

As we navigate the final resting places of 4,000 Philadelphians, we will pair the legacies of the city’s most influential figures with samples of signature brews from Yards Brewing Company. You’ll learn how the drinks of the 18th century defined the health, social status, and military might of a young Republic.
