What happens when you get five Khyber daytime bartenders together in one room?

Filed Under: Booze | Philly Beer Week 2010

Frequent Constant City Paper haunt The Khyber (56 S. Second St.) is not just a well-heeled rock club — it's also a great (and slept-on) beer bar, and its alumni have gone on to do some big things in the Philly craft-brew scene. CP editor in chief Brian Howard recently got four former Khyber barkeeps to drop by their old pint-pulling haunt for a state-of-Philly-beer pow-wow with current Khyber daytime captain Jeremy Thomson (center). Back row, left to right: Chris Morris (Philadelphia Brewing Co.), Paul Havelin (Bella Vista Beer Distributors), Brendan Hartranft (Memphis Taproom, Local 44, Resurrection Ale House) and Casey Parker (Jose Pistola's). Want to read the entire roundtable discussion? Check out next week's food section, which'll feature tons of Philly Beer Week 2010 coverage.
