Emlenton Brew Haus Closes: A Final Cheers to a Beloved Local Spot

Today, craft beer lovers in Western Pennsylvania were met with disappointing news: Emlenton Brew Haus has closed its doors permanently. In a heartfelt announcement on Facebook, the owners expressed their gratitude to the community, former staff, and loyal patrons who supported the Brew Haus over its 3 ½-year journey.

Emlenton Brew Haus’s social media post and announcement

A Bittersweet Farewell

“We are sad to announce that after 3 ½ years, the Emlenton Brew Haus will be closing effective immediately,” the post began. “The Brew Haus Owners, management, and staff would like to thank the community, and all of the prior staff for all the help and support during this adventure.”

The message struck a chord with customers, many of whom took to social media to share their memories and express their sadness.

“I am very sorry to hear this. Great food, beer, and hospitality. I would drive from Pittsburgh just to have your beers,” wrote Martin Smith. “This is just too bad, and Emlenton needs to try and develop the area more for tourists, like boat, kayak docks, etc.”

“Totally bummed to hear this,” commented Jim Ernst. “I loved stopping in for a beer or a bite to eat during my travels across PA.”

These heartfelt responses highlight how much the Brew Haus meant to locals and visitors alike.

Emlenton Brew Haus was located at 610 Main St, Emlenton, PA 16373.

A Hub of Craft Beer and Community

Since opening its doors, the Emlenton Brew Haus made a name for itself with its commitment to craft beer, locally sourced food, and family-friendly fun. Owned by the Garis and Page family, the brewery offered more than just beer—it provided unique experiences like refurbished duck-pin bowling lanes, shuffleboard, and a pool table. It was a space where the community could come together over shared meals and drinks.

The food, helmed by Chef Julie Terwilliger, a graduate of the Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts, featured fresh, Pennsylvania-sourced ingredients. Customers loved not only the brews but also the thought and care poured into every menu item. From the best old fashioneds in the state to beers crafted with local flair, the Brew Haus left an indelible mark on those who visited.

Why Did Emlenton Brew Haus Close?

While the owners haven’t elaborated on the reasons for the closure, location and accessibility may have played a role. Emlenton, a small town along the Allegheny River, boasts natural beauty and charm but can be challenging to reach for those outside the immediate area.

“This was a very cool place,” reflected Torie Neal. “It was just a little out of our driving range for frequent visits. My siblings and I all came right when it opened and really enjoyed the duck-pin bowling.”

A Loss for Emlenton

The closure is a poignant reminder of how difficult it can be for small businesses, even beloved ones, to thrive. The Brew Haus wasn’t just a business—it was a part of the Emlenton community.

“So sorry, guys,” wrote Meg Cratty Dreher. “Your addition to the town was a great, costly venture. It didn’t go unnoticed how much time and effort you put forth in trying to help better our town.”

As Emlenton Brew Haus closes its doors, locals and visitors alike are left with memories of good times, great beer, and the unique experiences it offered. The future of the building remains uncertain, but its impact on the town and the people who frequented it won’t soon be forgotten.

A Final Toast

While it’s sad to see the Brew Haus go, it’s important to celebrate what it brought to Emlenton—a vibrant space for craft beer enthusiasts, families, and friends to gather. To the Garis and Page family and everyone who made Emlenton Brew Haus what it was: thank you for the memories, the beer, and the joy you brought to the community.
