Any news on when the move will be finalized?

Reopening October 5. They're having a "Grand Reopening Party" to celebrate. As posted on Beeradvocate:

Event Details:
Come celebrate Bella Vista Beer Distributor's expansion and move across 11th St. in Philadelphia. The Fetfatzes family and employees welcome BA's to join them in celebrating their number one passion in life, BEER! There will be several, multiple draft beers making an appearance, plus more...

Date: Sunday, October 5th, 2008
Exact Time: TBA

There will be more details to come! Cheers Philadelphia!

I ran into a parent/fundraiser today outside Whole Food & he said Moonstone is moving into the old beer place.

I don't think Moonstone is taking over the entire space.

If you look on the Fitzwater Street side of the building, you will see a PLCB liquor license application, IIRC in the name of the beer distributor, for an "Eating Place" liquor license.

If I'm not mistaken, this category covers so-called "stop 'n' gos" -- convenience stores that sell sandwiches and beer to take out. I think the law requires these places to have some seating, but usually that seating is just for show, and eventually is done away with.

A party being thown by a beer distributer? I like the sound of this.

I assumed the license was for the new BV bottle-shop:

Bella Vista is already building a massive, new beer warehouse on 11th Street, where it’ll re-locate its operation in September or October. After it vacates its current facility, the plan is to convert part of the building into a bottle shop under a second liquor license. “The two businesses are separate, but they’ll complement each other,” Fetfatzes told me. “You’ll be able to try out a single bottle or, if you like it, walk across the street and buy an entire case.”

I can't wait to lock up some delicious bear republic cases... or two hearted...

Should be a whole ton of new stuff too.
