Human Robot Beer is shutting down their Schuykill Banks location (on May 31st) and are opening new (two to be exact) taphouses. Crime and Punishment just recently closed and it looks like the vacancy will quickly be filled by Human Robot Beer. Human Robot Brewery will move its Schuylkill Banks tasting room to the recently vacated space of Crime and Punishment Brewing Co. at 2711 W. Girard Ave<\/a>. in Brewerytown. Human Robot also has plans to open a new spot in New Hope, Bucks County.<\/p>\n Human Robot Beer\u2019s Announcement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The following is Human Robot Beer\u2019s announcement on Instagram:<\/p>\n When one door closes, TWO more open! \u2013Human Robot Beer \u2013 Instagram Post<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Crime and Punishment\u2019s Brewery<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Human Robot Brewery is making major moves in 2025, relocating its Schuylkill Banks tasting room to Brewerytown and launching a new concept in New Hope. Here\u2019s what beer lovers need to know about these exciting changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n Human Robot Brewery will soon be calling 2711 W. Girard Avenue in Brewerytown its new home. This location, previously occupied by Crime & Punishment Brewing Co. for a decade, will become Human Robot Girard, replacing the brewery\u2019s current Schuylkill Banks outpost, which will close on May 31, 2025.<\/span> The move comes after Human Robot finalized a $760,000 purchase of the building, although the deal did not include Crime & Punishment\u2019s business or brewing licenses.<\/span><\/p>\n The new taproom will retain much of the character and furnishings of Crime & Punishment, with only the brewing equipment being removed to make way for additional seating. Outdoor seating will also be available, and all former Crime & Punishment staff have been offered positions at the new Human Robot location.<\/span><\/p>\n Patrons can look forward to the brewery\u2019s signature lagers, pilsners, and innovative brews, including the popular Milktube pours. The food menu will feature sandwiches from Poe\u2019s Side Piece, an offshoot of Poe\u2019s Sandwich Joint, which is already a staple at Human Robot\u2019s flagship in West Kensington.<\/span> The brewery aims to honor the legacy of Crime & Punishment while bringing its own unique flair to the neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to its Brewerytown plans, Human Robot is preparing to open a new tasting room called Doubles at 12 W. Mechanic Street in New Hope, marking its first venture into Bucks County. This ground-up project is expected to debut in July 2025 and will offer a slightly different experience compared to the brewery\u2019s other locations.<\/span> The New Hope outpost will bring the total number of Human Robot locations to five, including existing taprooms in Kensington, Jenkintown, and East Passyunk.<\/span><\/p>\n Founded in 2020 by Ken Correll, Chris Roller, and Jake Atkinson, Human Robot Brewery has quickly become a Philadelphia favorite, known for its experimental approach and dedication to quality. Head brewer Andrew Foss has helped popularize the use of Czech Lukr faucets, renowned for producing a thick, creamy foam on their beers.<\/span><\/p>\n Crime & Punishment Brewing Co., established in 2015, became a beloved fixture in Brewerytown, crafting nearly 500 unique beers over its ten-year run. The brewery closed its doors in April 2025, leaving behind a legacy of community and creativity that Human Robot aims to honor as it steps into the space.<\/p>\n With these strategic expansions, Human Robot Brewery continues to cement its reputation as one of Philadelphia\u2019s most dynamic craft beer brands, promising new experiences for fans in both Brewerytown and New Hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n The following other Human Robot Beer articles:<\/p>\n The following Crime and Punishment articles:<\/p>\n The following comes via Untappd.<\/p>\n Human Robot Beer is a micro brewery from Philadelphia, PA.

While we are sad to announce that we will be leaving our @humanrobotschuylkillbanks<\/a> location on May 31st, we are VERY excited to share that we will be opening TWO new tasting rooms in the very near future.
.
@humanrobotgirard<\/a> is thrilled to announce our move into the former Crime & Punishment location at 2711 W. Girard ave. We are truly honored to uphold the legacy established by Mike P, Wambs, and their amazing team over the last decade. One of our very first \u201cmeetings\u201d took place in this space, and it holds a special place in our hearts. We cherish the memories we\u2019ve made there over so many exceptional beers and look forward to creating even more with all of you. Our hope is to get it reopened as soon as possible. Our buddy Poe will be joining us as well, follow @poessidepiece<\/a> and please follow our new social for updates!
.
@doublesNH<\/a> is our new concept in New Hope, PA located at 12 W. Mechanic St. This will be a slightly different spin on what we have traditionally done. For one, we are bringing in a partner, @keithashore<\/a> , to help with design and art and some special extras to be announced. This is being built from the ground up, so it will take a little longer, but look for us hopefully come July. Again, follow the socials there and we will update when we can!
.
Thanks for being on this journey with us and supporting us every step of the way. More info to come!
