History
We are a family owned Pennsylvania Farm Brewery, operating on a 250 year old original Colonial homestead that includes everything from its original log cabin to a one room schoolhouse. From a crystal clear spring that supports watercress and first frequented by American Indians and then the European Settlers, and in conjunction with our hop garden, we intend to produce truly local farm beer in a setting that is unique, peaceful, and inspiring to share with family and friends. Our Brewery is on the same Farm Estate as our Vineyard Winery with 12 acres of wine grapes, an apple orchard, chickens, sheep, goats and lots of wild life, along with our growing hop garden. The Brewery itself is housed in our Tractor Barn which had been operating on that site as a Carriage House and workhorse stalls and farm tools since the early 1800's. With very minimal changes now houses Stout Tanks and Kettles, Blichmann Engineering, and the like.
Specialties
We are making beers 1 or 2 barrels at a time in 2015, and enjoying (well not quite) every minute of it, and we intend to sell and serve them on Fridays and Saturdays. We'll have three beers available and rotate them season to season, and from your input and participation we'll determine what we need to do in scale and operating hours. Bring the family, from our experience of owning and managing business's in Europe, the best Bier Garten is one that has good beers and family and long standing friends.
