Two Locals Brewing Company

Two Locals is Philadelphia’s first Black-owned craft brewery, founded by brothers Richard and Mengistu Koilor. Rooted in their Liberian heritage and love for community, they’re passionate about creating high-quality beer that brings people together. From crisp lagers to bold hazy ales, every pour is brewed with culture, connection, and Philly pride in mind. Their brewery in University City doubles as a gathering space, hosting music, comedy, and community-driven events that showcase local talent. Two Locals isn’t just about beer—it’s about building a home for everyone to feel like family.
