At the end of spring, the Free Library of Philadelphia launched a new mini-series called "Brews & Views" at its Parkway Central branch. On select dates, the Skyline Terrace, overlooking the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, turned into a rooftop beer garden.

Once June ended, so did the series. We thought we would have to wait until next year to enjoy a beer above the massive collection of books, but that's not the case.
