🍺 The Philadelphia Brewing Co. owners say the mix-up will likely cost them tens of thousands of dollars in revenue:

The Philadelphia Brewing Company makes a beer called"Harvest From the Hood" every year. The brewery said the hops they grow in an adjacent 18-by-70-foot lot on Frankford Avenue are an essential ingredient in that beer.

The owner said a Community Life Improvement Programs crew that maintains vacant lots in the city destroyed the plants on Tuesday. The crew apparently thought the plants were overgrown weeds. “We’ve been using this garden in partnership with the New Kensington [Community Development Corporation] for 10 years,” said Nancy Barton. She and her husband Bill Barton own the brewery. “They let us use the lot. We grow our hops that we use for 'Harvest From the Hood.'”
