Try all the beers! Beer menu changes & is updated often. The food is great, lots of German staples & more. Great location, so close to the city & tons of parking next to & behind the brewery.
Jen CunninghamAugust 17, 2018Excellent beers in many styles. We loved the IPA and tangerine the best. Parking seems precarious, but there’s street parking and a small fenced-in lot next to the brewery.
- Anne SchleidenNovember 3, 2017Indoor/outdoor. Cheese plate, sampler, brats, kraut, potato salad. They do a great Oktoberfest.
Abby FleischauerOctober 25, 2013$15 Sampler of the 5 year round beers in 6 ounce glasses. The menu does not have beer prices or info on the sampler.
EthanDecember 26, 2014Only stopped in for to-go sandwiches, which were good. Would like to come back to really enjoy their beer.- Vader PrimeApril 14, 2015Penn Dark is on the menu for my last meal on earth. Definitely stocking up on Penn Brewery products when the Zombie Apocalypse begins.
Bill ChamberlinJuly 22, 2018Food/beer great as usual. Service - ok. Menu says “sandwiches include choice of one side;” BUT they Upcharge you for the side on top of a $12 sandwich. Server didn’t tell us about the charge. Unhappy
Patrick McMahonMarch 27, 2013Beer sampler has 10+ glasses of beer (all their styles on tap, not shot glass size) for $15. Wish they had some veggie sausage though.
Try Penn Gold! And the Oktoberfest is usually transcendent and never lasts long enough for me to get enough of it!
- Abby FleischauerOctober 25, 2013The Schnitzel Sandwich with the German Potato Salad was completely delicious!
Buffalo Pierogies: Different but good. I wouldn't get them again. Worth trying tho, give it a shot!
Doug RayJuly 15, 2012Great for Oktoberfest. Classic German-style brews and decent German-style food.
Greg KellyMay 26, 2012What's not to like ..... samples.. pretzel appetizers ... beer cheese and BEER!!!!!!
Sharon McAfee PranisMarch 3, 2012Love the Chocolate Meltdown. One of the best chocolate stouts ever!!!
Todd JonesJanuary 11, 2012A shadow of its former self. The beer is still great, though, the staff seems greatly overwhelmed. And the food is not nearly as good as it used to be...
Emily O. S.April 20, 2014Beer cheese is served cold, but the Buffalo Chicken Pierogies are pretty good.
They have a new banquet room. Check it out next time you need private space for an event.
If you want good German food, I would pass on this place, but the beers are fantastic.
Don't go when it's busy and expect to get a table. They take your name and never contact you. Then you see people who came after you sitting after waiting almost 2 hours.
Ben NiebelJune 10, 2011The buffalo chicken Pierogies represent everything that is right in this world.
Make sure to try the Pulled Pork Perogies they are simply amazing. Goes well with a Penn Dark!!!
- Rubin perogies are out of this world. Make sure to try some today!
Lucky TischNovember 20, 2010Good food overall, easy on the salt on the Bretzls but they are good, beer cheese soup is lumpy, bad service!
