Night Shift Still Coming to Pennsylvania After All
Well, despite not opening their Roxborough location (Night Shift Brewing Cancels Expansion into Philly), it looks like Night Shift Brewing will still be coming to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania after all.
They have made a distribution agreement with Penn Beer Distributors to bring their beers into Southeastern Pennsylvania. Penn Beer Distributors used to occupy the Domino Lane building before moving to Hatfield, Montgomery County in 2019. Penn Beer should begin distributing and delivering the Night Shift Brewing beers in mid-November (2020). They currently also distribute for some other big breweries such as Budweiser, Becks, Victory, and Yards.
“Night Shift partners Rob Burns, Mike O’Mara, and Michael Oxton were applying for building permits for a vast building at 401 Domino Lane when the nation began to shut down. “We got concerned with the project,” Burns said. “We didn’t know what the future would hold, and we had to protect the mother ship before we extended ourselves further.” So that project was scuttled, though they officially say it’s “on pause” because they would like to open a plant in the Philadelphia area some day.” (Source: The Philadelphia Inquirer Online.)
For the Philadelphia and South Eastern Pennsylvania area this is great news, as Night Shift Brewing is consistently some of the highest quality beers on the East Coast. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, pandemic, and subsequent quarantine and lockdown they had to forego their 10$ Million dollar expansion that was originally going to bring them lock, stock, and barrel into Philadelphia.
