Philadelphia has a long and celebrated history of being the home for many historic firsts for our country - including the first beer week in the country. Philadelphia’s event is known as the “Founding Father” of beer weeks, as it has been replicated in over 100 cities around the world.

Today in 2026, America’s first beer week is being brought back by the people for the people during Philly 250th. Look for nearly two dozen breweries, bars and restaurants to join the line-up.
