Love City Brewing Adding Lo-Key Non-Alcoholic IPA & Luna

This morning, I have a ne can coming soon from Love City Brewing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is Lo-Key Non-Alcoholic IPA, and it will be a non-alcoholic IPA that will roll in at less than 0.5%-AbV. The beer will be packaged in 12-oz cans and stay tuned for release details. I’ve also added in Luna rice lager with lemon (4.2%-AbV, 16-oz cans).

Label Text Lo-Key Non-Alcoholic IPA:

“Crafted for those moments when you want a high-quality NA refreshment. Bold, bright, and hoppy with a supremely drinkable and balanced malt body. Enjoy.”

LOVE FOR EACH OTHER, FOR CRAFT BEER, FOR PHILADELPHIA

AT LOVE CITY BREWING COMPANY,
We believe that beer isn’t supposed to be complicated. Sure, brewing a good one is part art, part science, but that doesn’t mean the culture surrounding it needs to be so… much. Beer should be approachable and so should the places we drink it. After all, beer is “the workers’ drink” and there’s something nice about the simplicity of the pastime: a special kind of unity born of people from different walks of life coming together to unwind in the same way. We’re about good people, good beer, and a good way to cap off the day. It doesn’t need to be more complicated than that. 

OUR MISSION
We create unfailingly delicious beer that is the centerpiece of Philadelphia’s table. We do whatever it takes to ensure the quality of each beer we serve. At Love City, we take care of each other. We prioritize relationships with our customers, colleagues, and community. We grow at a pace that allows us to maintain these values and priorities. We work hard to demonstrate what a craft brewery should be – a responsible small business that makes outstanding beer while respecting the people that make it possible.

KEVIN & MELISSA
You could say that beer brought us together. We chatted each other up over the keg at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party. As our love for each other grew, so did our love of good beer. We were introduced to the wonders of craft beer by Kevin’s career with Iron Hill Brewery. We even brewed a beer together for our wedding… on New Year’s Eve 2011!


PHILADELPHIA
We’ve found a home here in Philadelphia, a city that’s reclaiming its space on the national stage, but isn’t afraid to be itself.

As we got to know Philly, we fell in love with its rich brewing history. We were amazed by the number of breweries that existed here (nearly 700 before Prohibition was enacted). Each neighborhood had a brewery that served the local residents, and beer was a part of every table.

We want to make that a reality for our neighbors today.
We think you should know your brewer and be able to watch your beer being made.

CODE OF CONDUCT
As part of our participation in the Brave Noise Pale Ale brew we’ve developed a code of conduct that applies to all staff, customers, vendors, and other service providers with whom we interact. We’ve always had a strong anti-harassment policy for our staff, but it’s important that we make this information public, so we can all hold each other accountable.  


Love City does not tolerate harassing, threatening, or discriminatory language or behaviors. We take all reports of harassment and discrimination very seriously. We encourage everyone to bring these things to our attention. Customers can tell a bartender or manager; staff can talk to their manager or someone else with whom they feel comfortable. If you witness something and would prefer to report it later, please email [email protected] or call 215-398-1900.

Harassment and discrimination can include the following, but this list is not exhaustive. We will take action that we deem appropriate against anyone who harasses or discriminates against others. Staff will be subject to disciplinary action. Customers may be removed from Love City for the day or for an extended period. Vendors may be asked to make changes or lose our business.
