As we first reported, New York based Other Half Brewing has filed a license to open a new brewing location in Philadelphia. Specifically at the former Goose Island brewery in the Fishtown neighborhood.

Since that report, we have spoken with representatives from the brewery to confirm the news.

Philadelphia has a long & robust brewing history and when the opportunity presented itself to open an Other Half location here – in between our DC and NYC breweries – we couldn’t pass it up. The bones of the space are great and over the coming months, we’ll refresh the indoor and outdoor areas and work on sourcing food partners.  

Our team is really excited to join the city’s dynamic brewery and restaurant communities and we look forward to opening Other Half Philly’s doors and sharing some of our signature IPAs and other site-specific brews later this year.  

— Andrew Burman, COO/co-founder, Other Half

As it pertains to when this space will be open, the following was shared with us; “we are hoping by the end of the year.”

We will continue to update details about the upcoming space as more information is made available.
