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 .
Excellent 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 .
The buffalo chicken pierogies go great with a Penn brew! If you enjoy this as much as we do, make sure to let people know on Wyngspan! Read more
Indoor/outdoor. Cheese plate , sampler, brats , kraut , potato salad . They do a great Oktoberfest .
$15 Sampler of the 5 year round beers in 6 ounce glasses. The menu does not have beer prices or info on the sampler.
Only stopped in for to-go sandwiches , which were good. Would like to come back to really enjoy their beer .
Penn Dark is on the menu for my last meal on earth. Definitely stocking up on Penn Brewery products when the Zombie Apocalypse begins.
Food/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
Beer 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!
Good down home cooking German style fare. Satisfies the bones.
The 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!
Pierogies are great
Great beer , decent prices, and good food.
Order the buffalo wing pierogies paired with an Allegheny Pale Ale .
Great for Oktoberfest . Classic German-style brews and decent German-style food.
Bow wow patio ! Great beers and friendly service .
Fried cheese curds and the Pilsner are excellent.
I don't usually like pilsner , but the Penn Pilsner was subtly delicious.
What's not to like ..... samples.. pretzel appetizers ... beer cheese and BEER !!!!!!
Wonderful food and great beer ! A must stop if you are in town .
Love the Chocolate Meltdown. One of the best chocolate stouts ever!!!
The IPA is a winner
A 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...
Beer cheese is served cold, but the Buffalo Chicken Pierogies are pretty good.
Outside seating , live music , and beer samplers makes this brewery a must-stop! Read more
Rich is the best. Great service, beer & food.
Check out Penn Brewery as seen on United States of Bacon Read more
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.
Try the buffalo chicken pierogies , with the Penn Dark , yum!
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.
The 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 !!!
Everything
great beer selection
Good beer great price
Good people, great beer !
Can't go wrong with the Penn Pilsner
Food is good and the beer is better!
Great happy hour !
The food is lovely.
German reuben sandwich
The apfel strudel was delicious
Rubin perogies are out of this world. Make sure to try some today!
Oktoberfest !!!
Good food overall, easy on the salt on the Bretzls but they are good, beer cheese soup is lumpy, bad service!
Try the Beer !

Potato pancakes are an excellent appetizer as well as the non-traditional pierogies w/ sauerkraut & bratwurst. - James Gill
Great beer and a surprising selection of appetizers (salads, cheese board, sausage sandwiches) - Byron Fruit
Excellent beer. Top to bottom. One of the top 5 nanobreweries in WPA. Nice people too. - Gregory L.
Good food and great drinks. even if you don't like to gamble I would still recommend someone to come try the food. - Brendon Louis
Make sure you try something from the craft beer stand. They are all delicious and there's a good variety to try. - Kevin Vincent
If you like salads, you have to try the Munich Market Salad (here with glazed salmon - extra) 'cause it's absolutely delicious. ???????????? The other one in the pic is the Brewer's Cobb (which was huuuge). - Andra Zapartan
