About Sacred Vice Berks
Sacred Vice Berks is a family run brewery on Berks Street in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood. The brewery says The Philadelphia Inquirer featured it on a 2026 list of the city's best breweries.
Local coverage has focused on the family behind the bar. Billy Penn called the Kensington taproom a family affair and a lived dream, and Breweries in Pennsylvania profiled brewer Andrew "Ruby" Rubenstein.
It is an artisan operation built on shared family memories and a dream to become part of Philadelphia's brewing history. It also runs a second taproom on Amber Street, though that location only opens for special events.
The Berks Street taproom keeps a regular events calendar. Expect trivia nights, DJ sets on select Saturdays, and Eagles watch parties during football season.

Before you visit Sacred Vice Berks
Sacred Vice posts its hours for the week on Instagram, @sacredviceberks, rather than keeping one fixed schedule. Check there before you go so you don't show up on a night it's closed.
Look at the events page on sacredvice.com too, since the taproom runs a regular calendar of trivia nights, DJ sets, and Eagles watch parties. The Amber Street location only opens for special events, so Berks Street is the safer bet on a normal night.
The block is stacked with other stops worth adding. Evil Genius Beer Company and Fermentery Form are each about 0.2 miles away, and Lost Time Brewing Company is 0.3 miles farther.
