Brewery Visit: Sly Fox Brewery

Sly Fox Brewing Company is another brewpub located in Phoenixville, PA. The location (not its original) is in a shopping center and is pretty easy to miss. Open since December of 1995, Sly Fox was a family run brewing company - even their original logo was made by a family member. The name Sly Fox was thought up at a family meeting and inspired by all of the fox hunting in the Chester County region. In 2004 Sly Fox opened another location in Royersford, PA. The Royersford location also has a bottling and canning line (The Sly Fox cans are excellent looking!)

As noted, Lobster and I sampled the beers at the Phoenixville brewpub. The interior was ugly and made it feel like we were drinking in the 19th hole of a country club in the 1980s. The decor was mainly wood and the color of kelly green with fox paraphernelia that looked as though it was found at a Christmas Tree Shop. We also got the feeling that everyone there knew each other, and that Lobster and I were screaming outsiders.

There wasn't a sampler to order, so I ordered a Royal Weisse Hefeweizen which was delicious. Unfortunately my notes consisted mainly of the decor.
