Lost Time Brewing is expanding its Philadelphia footprint with a second taproom, opening this weekend at 1519 Ridge Avenue in the city’s Fairmount neighborhood.
The new location will celebrate its grand opening from Friday, October 16, through Sunday, October 18, with doors opening at 3 p.m. on Friday. We caught up with the owners to learn more about the space.
The taproom will feature 16 taps (including 2 side-pull taps), with a selection of Lost Time beers and a draft list designed to offer something for everyone, including lagers and seasonal releases. The space will also offer a full bar with spirits, ready-to-drink cocktails, wine, and cider.
Like its original location, the Ridge Avenue taproom will work with rotating food vendors rather than operate a full kitchen. The space seats about 45 people indoors, about 12 at the bar, plus an outdoor courtyard that adds room during warmer months.
Lost Time Brewing first opened its original taproom at 2145 N. Front Street in Philadelphia in November 2024. The location is known for its connection to the Rocky film franchise, as the building’s exterior served as Mighty Mick’s Gym.
The brewery has a small production space in Philadelphia to develop and test beers, and it also partners with contract brewers to meet demand. Brewer Jake Dean oversees the recipes and brewing process, allowing the team to test new beers on a smaller scale before producing larger batches.
With the addition of the Ridge Avenue taproom, Lost Time is adding another place for Philadelphia beer drinkers to enjoy its lineup, while continuing to build its presence across the city.
