Westmont's The Pour House pours local brews

In the space that used to be Dockhoppers on Haddon Ave. in Westmont, the P.J.W. Restaurant Group has opened The Pour House - A Better Beer Bar. (Anyone think that "beer bar" is redundant?)

My husband and I had lunch there are Friday and I was pleased to see a large selection, both on tap and in bottles, of beers from local breweries.

On tap there are beers from

Dogfish in Lewes, DE
Flying Fish in Cherry Hill, NJ
Philadelphia Brewing Co in Philadelphia
Sly Fox in Phoenixville, PA
Stoudts in Adamstown, PA
Troegs in Harrisburg, PA
Victory in Downingtown, PA

Several of those breweries are also represented in their selection of 69 bottles plus one additional local brewery

Yards in Philadelphia

That's a pretty impressive showing form local breweries. They've also got a selection of beers from around the country and around the world.

On May 28th, The Pour House will have a 4 course meal paired with beers from Victory in Downingtown. The cost is $40/person.
