Really awesome little spot in the middle of nowhere, economically depressed central PA. Down below what seemed to be the main road in the basement of an old building that looks like it used to be a bank or some such thing. Cute, rustic decor, not overdone with a nice wooden bar. Only tried two tasters because I was driving and hungover but had the apple brandy aged blonde which was very good and the kriek which was absolutely stellar. Good prices, had a damn tasty pastrami sandwich, and filled a couple growlers. Absolutely worth hitting up if you’re driving through PA, particularly if the kriek is on tap.

Another nice oasis in central PA. This is an old, French countryside decorated brewpub below street level. The service was pretty good, complete with the chef coming out to talk it up with some locals he knew. There was no food for us on this stop, so nothing to report there. The dozen or so house beers available were pretty good, though The Kriek still eluded me.

I have been to this place more times than I can count. It is a little hard to find from the main street at first but once you see it you will be fine. Actually drove right by it the first time I was there. Wish I would have found out about the parking lot in the back the first time also. Set in an old building that was once the home of our Governor is this gem of a brewery. Going down a set of steps leads you into the garden and the lower level/basement of the building revealing the actual bar area. The bar is small with seating for 10-12 and a few side tables and more seating in the small dining room. There are a few tables outside in the garden area as well. The food is simple; soups, sandwiches, wraps, etc.; and are made with fresh, local, ingredients. The beer is top notch as well. Not really sure what more quality you would need. The service is good. They only have one server on most days so it can be a little slow but I never really cared that much. Selection is very good. Usually 8-10 beers on at any given time. From their fruit beers, most notably Phoenix Kriek, to their IPA, you would be hard pressed to find something you wouldn’t like to drink. Prices are pretty good, a little high for some of the beers but not too bad. Overall a great brewpub that deserves all the hype it gets. I will continue to go here as often as I can.

This was one of the best brewpub experiences I’ve had. Selinsgrove is pretty far out of the way for most people. We had to drive two hours from where we were staying to get here, but it was well worth the trip. On the main drag through town, it’s located in an old stone building. I wish I had asked about the history of the place. You walk down a nicely landscaped path to what appears to be the basement. On entering, you get the old school farmhouse style brewpub feel. Everything is wood with a fireplace off the the side. A smallish bar with several tables throughout. There is also a very nice patio outside with lots of plants and flowers. Inside is VERY dark. Almost too dark to observe the beers, but the ambiance was really good. Very warm, welcoming, and quiet. Our server was very nice, but not real interested in conversing even though it seemed to be relatively slow. She seemed to have a surface knowledge of the beers. The food was very good as well. We all got sandwiches and were more than happy. The beers were awesome. The kriek was world class and the sour red and IPA were both outstanding. The others were OK to good. I took a growler of the kriek home. Overall, I loved it here. Don’t know when I’ll be back, but I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.

of all of the places I been to, this is THE place I would model my own brewpub after. Nice small historical building, great staff, top notch beer and fresh simple food. Nothing bad to say about this place, I could live there.

Small brew pub but great old world charm and the Stealth Triple is amazing!

A beautiful little place. Wonderful atmosphere. The food is interesting and not too pricey though there is a rather small menu. They always seem to be sold out of several beers whenever I get to visit. Service is ok at best. Nice little place.

Some of the best tasting beers I’ve ever come across from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine. What else is there? That’s all you need to know.

Nice place, good location. ’Treehugger’ menu. The beers is very good and they offer a nice sampler.

A local institution. My favorite of their beers, by far, is the stealth triple. They only let you have three in one sitting, but you can switch to other beers. Fantastic ambiance: appropriate for a family outing, dinner friends, or a romantic rendezvous. Not a big place so you’ll need to arrive early, especially on the weekends, to get a table.
