The Fishtown Beer Runners are pleased to support our friends the West Philly Runners (WPR) and their fundraiser for the Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery (FoMM). It may seem like a bit of a strange cause for running groups to get behind, but it’s not when looking at Mt. Moriah as a green space. The cemetery is effectively an extension of...
With out question the highlight of our recent trip to Spain was meeting The Professor, Dr. Manuel Castillo. He was an inspiration to us all and we were thrilled to spend time with him. Many of you had the opportunity to experience what I have known for many years, that Manuel is gracious, kind,...
Sometimes you just don’t know where a trip will take you. When David and I set out to run the streets of Fishtown in 2007, we didn’t expect to be diverted to the crowded cobblestone plazas of Madrid or the super-narrow alleyways of Granada. But seven years later, that’s exactly what happened. David went on...

Now that winter has come (and, hopefully, departed), we can reflect on all of the chilly miles we logged in the last few months–some of them, fortunately, for good causes. The “responsible running” part of FBR mission (responsible running and drinking in the interest of science) means that we are committed to supporting our community charities....
Connecticut based filmmaker, Justin Wirtalla, set out to make a short promotional piece about FBR, however, after talking with many of you he realized the story was deeper. You shared personal stories with him about the impact FBR and running has had on your lives. So many stories, that Justin now envisions the...

The Pennsylvania Special Olympics will be selling $5 wristbands which will entitle you to some amazing beer specials! All proceeds benefit Special Olympics Pennsylvania athletes in Philadelphia. Also, the 29th...
FBR runners have never been merely fair weather friends. Case in point: last Thursday’s run through rain, hail, sleet, and, in greatest magnitude, slush, to the Veteran’s Boxing Association in the heart of Port Richmond. This locale was special in a number of ways, first in that it’s not even a public bar, but...
FUBAR: A portion of the Fishtown Beer Runners make a new subsection of “Fishtown Ultra Beer Awesome Runners” at the inaugural Rocky 50k, including a couple of first time ultra runners. David N April had no business attempting to jump over that park bench. Yes, he just witnessed some idiot (whose name may or...
