Erie Brewing Company



erie-brewing Erie Brewing Company was founded in October of 1993 and became operational in November 1994. Its original location was Union Station/Hoppers Brew Pub.  The company began with a manufacturing capacity of 1040 barrels, or 2080 1/2 kegs.  In 2002, plans for the year were to double fermentation space and upgrade bottling and packaging. Sales volume was expected to increase to 5,300 barrels...that's almost five times the sales volume in 1999. There were also plans to expand distribution to Mid-Western, Mid-Southern, and Southeast PA.  Future plans include expanding distribution to West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. There are also thoughts of building reconfiguration. www.eriebrewingco.com/

More Info
Presque Isle and the bay it creates have played many significant roles in the history of Erie and our young nation. The US Government chose this location to build a fleet of ships during the war of 1812 because it formed the only protected harbor on Lake Erie. In 1813, during the battle of Lake Erie, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry successfully defended Lake Erie against the British with ships that were built on Presque Isle Bay, making a significant mark on the pages of history. Presque Isle Pilsner, a tribute to history is a hand crafted pilsner that is “A noble beer for Noble People.”
