What Philadelphia's weather means for breweries
July averages a high of 89°F and about 40 days a year reach 90°F, warm enough for a summer tee run without turning the whole shelf over to heat. Winter bites, with January averaging a high of just 42°F and lows near 28°F at the coldest, so stock heavy hoodies and cuffed beanies for November to March and give them the prime shelf. Wet weather is common, about 51 inches of rain and melted snow a year, so a rainy Saturday is when the merch wall gets the most attention; keep it stocked and sized. Snowfall of about 23 inches a year is enough to make a cuffed beanie an easy add-on at the register from the first flurries into early spring. About 62 nights a year fall to freezing, enough to keep hoodies and crewnecks in front from late fall into spring.
