temple_tTemple takes on Arizona State today at 2:45 pm and if you’re looking to sneak out of work to watch, why not head to the Temple alum Jon Longacre’s  South Philadelphia Taproom. SPTR is just off the Broad Street Line (equidistant between Tasker-Morris and Snyder) and it looks like they still have some delicious Founders beers still on tap from Beer Week.
