This is what the new home of the Fetfatzes family's new Bella Vista Beer Distributors (755 S. 11th St.) looked like in early August. (We've got all the details on their across-the-street move here and here.) Follow the jump for a little peek inside. The 38,000-square-foot distributor will officially open this Sunday, Oct. 5, with a kickoff open house from noon to 5 p.m. The party will feature food, live music and, from what we understand, a little bit of beer — including several brews (Ballast Point's Sculpin IPA, Beer Valley's Leafer Madness) making their East Coast debuts.

Unfortunately not — that’s PA for you.
Although there is plans for the owner to open a six pack type store at the old bella vista and the owner of the south philly tap room to open another at 15th and mifflin.
“Soon, they won’t even have to hustle a parking space at 10th and Pine for a quick six-pack at the Foodery, the city’s best takeout. Fetfatzes’ brother, Chris, plans to open a high-end bottle shop at Bella Vista’s current site. The owner of SPTR has also announced plans to open a takeout store, near 15th and Mifflin streets.”
