| monk's has achel beers, which are really pretty amazing.  i haven't found them anywhere else, not even at chicago's fabulous map room or the hopleaf.philly also has grace's tavern at around 22nd and south, which has a great (though smaller) selection of fine beverages and the monk's sour ale is usually on tap.  when i was teaching nearby, i went there pretty often--it's far enough away that undergraduates are unlikely to go, and nothing sez buzzkill quite the way running into students of yours at a publick house does.
