With an anticipated visit to Fishtown, we made sure to schedule a beverage pop-in to Sacred Vice which we’ve had our eye on for a while but the stars never aligned until tonight. We didn’t know a whole lot going in other than the fact that these guys have been servicing the Fishtown area with good beers for a few years now. Last year (2024) they moved into their new facility to combine the brewery and add a taproom.

The space is a combination of sterile and homey. The bar area clean and new and a lounge area that give off 1970’s at Grandma’s house vibes. Suffice it to say that’s right up our alley. If we lived in the neighborhood, it would be a place we would be happy to hang regularly.

The beers! With 4 of us in attendance, we opted for a variety to share. ¡En La Mía! a Winter Lager. Nelson’s Melodies, a west coast IPA. Rythmic Dread Vienna Lager, Buried Motives Stout, Verdant Plume IPA #2, Softy Saison, Crippled Affection Pale Ale and Rubbish IPA. While personal preference dictated our favorites, all were deemed well above average.
