E-Malt.com News article: USA, PA: Broad Street Brewing already open in Bristol Township
Brewery news

A new brewery recently opened in Bristol Township, adding new life to a once-empty shopping center, LevittownNow.com reported on August 2.

At the end of June, Broad Street Brewing opened the doors on the new production facility and taproom at the former Upper Deck Bar and Grill in the 2600 block of Durham Road. The brewery shares the shopping center with Coalition Barber Lounge and Sal’s Italian Deli.

The brewery is owned by Tim Lohse, Ed Webber, and Brandon Wellington, all Lower Bucks County locals.

The name of the brewery business comes from the famed Broad Street in Philadelphia, where Wellington once lived.

This week, Wellington told LevittownNow.com Broad Street Brewing aims to create brews that are “approachable” and also foster that environment in their freshly-opened taproom.

The open concept of the taproom features brick and wood-paneled walls. Parts of the ceiling feature greenery. More than 100 people can fit comfortably in the taproom, according to Wellington.

“We are more than just a brewery. We are a part of the community that we serve. We believe beer is a social beverage that brings people together, and we strive to create a welcoming environment where all are welcome to enjoy a pint of our brews,” according to the brewery’s website.

The business added: “Our taproom is a place where friends can gather to enjoy a cold beer and be a part of the brewing process. Our immersive layout puts you in the brewery, not looking at through walls of glass.”

Broad Street Brewing has a big focus on distribution of their beer to sell to customers throughout the region. The beer will be sold in cans at local distributors.

Andrew Balmer, the head brewer, said customers have had a positive reaction to the brewery in the weeks they have been open.

“We want to have a little of everything for everybody,” Balmer said.

The brewery has seen early success with Hey Yo Hazy, a hazy IPA; 76 and Sunny, a blonde ale; 201 North, a Belgian wit; and Independent Lager, a pale lager, Balmer explained.

“We want to have a distinct and local taste,” Wellington said of the brews.

Wellington said the brewery doesn’t have a kitchen. However, there are food trucks, live music, trivia nights, and other events at times.

The brewery, the latest in Bucks County, is one of 26 within the 622 square miles. It is the second one operating in Bristol Township, which already has Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company and Second Sin Brewing Company.
