Yards Brewing is an excellent microbrewery has enjoyed fantastic growth since opening in 1994. Starting out in a tiny, garage-sized location, Yards produced some of the best cask-conditioned ale the city has ever tasted. Demand was so strong that they rapidly moved into a bigger location, started bottling, and vastly increased their product line. One of their Yards's most fascinating lines is the "Ales of the Revolution" series, named after America’s founding fathers and incorporating beer recipes from George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other founding fathers. Despite its homage to the past, the brewery's technology is state of the art: Yards Brewing is the first 100% wind-powered brewery in Pennsylvania and most of the fixtures are made from reclaimed and recycled materials. The brewery offers free tours on Saturday afternoons, which are quite popular. If you can’t make it then, the tasting room is open all week long! Yards also hosts a variety of events throughout the year that appeal to beer fanatics, collectors, and amateur brewers.
