The New York Times has unveiled part one of their North Philly Beer guide, which tackles the 700 Club, Standard Tap, The Foodery, North Third, and The Abbaye. But our favorite part is the picture of and quotes from Philebrity/Phoodie favorite Anders Larson. A snippet below:

“For years, everyone here drank cheap macrobrews—now we’re seeing people drink so much more Kenzinger,” Larson said. “It makes sense, because this city is a union town; it’s what happens when you have the political, the social, the financial concentrations of power to the North and South of you. There’s this profound regionalism here, this sense of tribalism—you can taste it in our beer, especially the Kenzinger, which is kind of the people’s beer of Philadelphia.” But his favorite local beer? Pikeland Pils from Sly Fox Brewery, in nearby Phoenixville, Pa. It’s thirst quenching, clean and delicious, the first of many local beers that seem perfectly suited to the heat of Philadelphia in the summertime.”

We’ll be keeping our eyes out for the upcoming part 2.
