Other Half Brewing Co.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
In 2014, Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan and Andrew Burman founded Other Half Brewing Company, a local brewery in New York City with a simple mission: to create beers that they wanted to drink from a company that they wanted to be a part of. Their vision was to build a passionate team that brewed great beers in the state of New York—done so with effort and thoughtfulness—to represent the “Other Half” of the industry. Today, Other Half craft beers in their Brooklyn brewery and are dedicated to collaborating with breweries both in New York as well as across the world in an effort to constantly move the industry forward while elevating the craft. The Other Half team believes that local breweries play an important role in their communities which is why they partner with these other likeminded brewers and brands in local nabes across the country and the world—but always return to their home state of New York and their Brooklyn taproom.

Lost Tavern Brewing
Hellertown, Pennsylvania, United States
In the rich history and heritage of our hometown of Hellertown, Pennsylvania, a tavern was lost to the ticking hands of time. Folklore states, in the 1740’s when early dutch settlers arrived and established a community, one of the first buildings commissioned was a tavern, where they undoubtedly brewed beer. This was quite common in the colonial era, as taverns were very important centers to these small rural villages. It was in the tavern where the most urgent and pressing issues of the day were discussed over a pint of locally brewed beer. Hellertown's first tavern was certainly no different. However, this tavern’s location has become unclear. No one knows exactly where it was. We named our brewery to honor the legend of the Lost Tavern of Hellertown, it's more than 270 years of history, and the forgotten importance of sharing a local beer with a neighbor. "Honor the Past. Craft the Future."

Bill's Best Brewery
Glenside, Pennsylvania, United States
To us, our brewery is the backyard where our families, friends and neighbors can come together as a community. We’ve built a warm, friendly atmosphere, that when combined with a cold beer and some BBQ, will remind you of the backyard BBQ’s you used to go to as a child. At least we hope… We offer a selection of our very own craft beer on tap, along with some of our favorite Pennsylvania brews. For those who do not drink beer, we offer a selection of wines and spirits to enjoy. We also serve our signature pulled pork bbq sandwich made with our very own barbecue sauce. Additionally, we do offer a few other food selections as well. We hope to see you soon!!
