"Wissahickon Brewing Co. Olde Kensington was established in May of 2025. By expanding our brewery to a new location (original location in East Falls), we have the opportunity to provide our natural craft brews to a new neighborhood. With a full kitchen, a beautiful space, our high-quality tap list, and house-brewed coffee by Wirlybird Coffee, we provide a welcoming atmosphere with all the essentials. Eat good food, drink delicious brews, and enjoy a third space in our new home in Olde Kensington.”
Sample their happy hour menu with smash burgers, banh mi sliders and chicken sandos, among many other (happy-hour and non-happy-hour) appetizers, sandwiches, soups, salads, and for dessert, seasonal gelato or soft serve. While chatting with our beer fans group, try their many famous brews, including their Kölsch, IPAs, lagers, seasonal ales, sours, and even kombucha.
