Brauhaus Schmitz Expands; Noir Gets Liquor License

SOUTH STREET — Brauhaus Schmitz knocked down the wall that separates the new space from the original today, and the new place should be up and running by July 19 with ten more taps. Good things, good things. [Meal Ticket]

EAST PASSYUNK — Noir received their liquor license over the weekend. The booze is flowing at the just-opened storefront that was Sticks and Stones for about five minutes, but took three years to open. Better luck to the new owners. [Grub Philly]

UNIVERSITY CITY — The new Porch at 30th Street Station is launching a Beer Garden from July 12-14, featuring German beers from the taps at the highly-underrated Bridgewater's Pub. Live music and sausage-based foods will be on the menu. [Foobooz]
