    It is said the first thing William Penn did when he disembarked from the Welcome in 1682 was to have a pint of ale at the Blue Anchor Tavern. Ben Franklin’s had his first hot meal at the Crooked Billet Tavern. And the Penny Pot Tavern at Front and Vine Streets was so-named because the Duke of York decreed that the price of beer be a penny a pot (pint). In colonial Philadelphia, taverns were more numerous than churches. It was at these "public houses" where our founding fathers gathered to eat, drink, and haggle over the details of the Declaration of Independence. Enjoy a beer tasting and a presentation by brewery historian Rich Wagner.
