The craft beer scene in the city of brotherly love continues to grow with the grand opening of Human Robot Brewing in the Kensington neighborhood at 1710 N 5th Street. The brewery is scheduled to open on Thursday, February 6th in what was once the former location of St. Benjamin Brewing.

For those familiar with the former brewery, you’ll notice some immediate changes. Human Robot has replaced the outside mural with a more sleek look that fits the companies brand. See the changes below

Joining Human Robot in the space will be Poe’s Sandwich Joint. As profiled in a recent Eater article; N.A Poe, who first made a name for himself in Philly as a marijuana activist, is reopening his popular sandwich shop inside the new brewery. “We’re going from essentially a takeout window to having a sit-down restaurant. It’s a big upgrade,” says Poe, a.k.a. Richard Tamaccio Jr. “We closed the doors less than three months ago, and three months later we rebounded back on our feet in a better situation. I’m not trying to look backward.”

When the brewery — from Jake Atkinson, Chris Roller, and Rachael Morris — is up and running in early 2020, you’ll also be able to dine in. The third piece of the puzzle: Separate from the sandwich shop, Poe is creating a food menu for the brewery with his managing partner Andrew Edsall.

For Human Robot’s menu, “we’re going to do seasonal, very simple, elevated bar food, utilizing the beer they’re brewing and pairing food with the beer,” Edsall says. “I love to go out and try all the new restaurants, but when it comes down to it, who doesn’t love really good comfort food?”
