New Glarus has always been kind of an enigma to me. My first experience with them was at the Great American Beer Fest, sipping amazingly rare, tart, weird beers out of a 1 ounce tasting glass. It's one of few lines at a festival with hundreds and hundreds (last I was there over 600, in 2017 over 700) of breweries that you may try to get back in to two or three times. Their beers are amazing. And different, which is probably more important. If you want a great pilsner, and live in the Philly area, you're swimming in quality PA choices. Same with a nice pale ale. With IPA, there's still some pretty fantastic local ones, as well as a treasure chest of world class imports. There also a brewery in Ardmore that's setting the bar for NE IPA. But there's nothing close to Serendipity, or Raspberry Tart in the area, and unless you have a friend who's sister moved to Wisconsin, or are regularly trading the Tired Hands beers I mentioned previously with someone in that area, you're out of luck.
