Nestled in the heart of Green Lane, Pennsylvania, Perkiomen Valley Brewery stands as a testament to the power of passion, inclusivity, and exceptional craft beer. This unique nano-brewery has quickly become a beloved fixture in the local community, offering not just artisanal brews but also a welcoming space for all.

A Brewery with a Mission

Perkiomen Valley Brewery isn’t just about crafting great beer; it’s about creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Founded by Kelly and Tom Weiss, this family-owned brewery was born out of a desire to make life more meaningful and easier for families like theirs, who navigate the challenges of autism.

The brewery’s commitment to inclusivity is evident in every aspect of its operation:

• Fully accessible taproom: The space is designed to be both mobility and sensory-friendly.
• ADA compliant: Features include push-button entry and exit, and a dual-height bar to accommodate wheelchair users.
• Sensory considerations: The brewery includes a dedicated sensory room and uses LED daylight lighting to aid those with low vision.
• Family-friendly facilities: A unisex family/companion bathroom with an adult-sized changing table is available.

Artisanal Beers with a Story

Perkiomen Valley Brewery prides itself on small-batch, handcrafted beers that taste like they’ve just come out of your grandparents’ kitchen. Their brewing philosophy combines traditional styles with innovative, foraged, and botanical ingredients, resulting in unique flavor profiles that captivate beer enthusiasts.

Some of their standout brews include:

• Shagbark Old English Ale: A 7.6% ABV ale featuring foraged shagbark hickory, offering notes of toasted marshmallow.
• Sadie’s Dandelion Amber Ale: A 6.5% ABV amber ale brewed with foraged dandelions, embodying the brewery’s creative use of local ingredients.
• St. Dymphna Belgian Tripel: A traditional Belgian-style tripel brewed with Noble hops and candied sugars.

Community-Focused Brewing

Perkiomen Valley Brewery isn’t just about making great beer; it’s about fostering a sense of community. The brewery serves as a gathering place for locals and visitors alike, encouraging patrons to bring their own food and enjoy the warm, inviting atmosphere. The owners’ background in supporting individuals with autism has also influenced their business model. The brewery actively supports jobs for individuals underrepresented in the workforce, particularly those on the autism spectrum.

A Unique Taproom Experience

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:
