Beer Store: The Foodery

So Pennsylvania has this beer law which says:
No distributor or importing distributor shall sell any malt or brewed beverages in quantities of less than a case or original containers containing one hundred twenty-eight ounces or more which may be sold separately: Provided, That no malt or brewed beverages sold or delivered shall be consumed upon the premises of the distributor or importing distributor, or in any place provided for such purpose by such distributor or importing distributor.
This is what makes The Foodery so unique in Pennsylvania. Somehow they manage to get around this law and are able to sell single beers. They have 2 locations in Philadelphia. The one on 10th and Pine Street has about 10 refrigerators full of singles. They had most of what I was looking for and a lot of new stuff that I wanted to try. The prices for the beer is listed in one big book. They claim that if you make your own six pack, you receive a 10% discount but I received no such discount on my visit.

The 10th and Pine location can make for a tough time parking, but it is only a few blocks away(7 minute walk) from the Market East train station. The other location is on 2nd and Poplar.
