Hohenadel Brewery Garden Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

lusophile: Time to say goodbye. The erstwhile brewery, then community garden, then vacant lot, is now becoming a row of townhouses and the cache is gone behind construction fencing. Perhaps it may be replaced some day.

Geocache Description:

Easy to find nano in a small remaining part of the Hohenadel Brewery in the East Falls section of Philadelphia.

Hohenadel Brewery was active from 1875 to 1953, and their red-brick brewery at the corner of Conrad Street and Indian Queen Lane stood derelict, though occupied by underground artists, until it was demolished in 1999.

The site became a community effort Brewery Garden, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.

Hohenadel brewed a variety of beers including Indian Queen Ale, and their beer trays, mats, bottles and cans are very collectible today.
Their quirkish slogan, "When the 2nd tastes as good as the first, it's Hohenadel Alt Pilsener beer!" is memorable if not exactly inspiring.

Please do not enter the garden unless invited. The cache is NOT IN THE GARDEN and contains only a log; bring your own pencil.

*** UPDATE 1/23/10 *** The garden is no more! Property was, so I am told, sold to a developer a couple of years ago. Given today's economics when and if it will be developed is still to be seen.
