A fresh hop-forward adventure is heading to Northampton County this July as Ranch City Brewing prepares to open its doors at the revitalized Simon Silk Mill complex. The brewery will be located at Simon Silk Mill, 1250 Simon Blvd., Easton.

Set to launch with a soft opening in the second week of July and a tentative grand opening on Saturday, July 12, Ranch City Brewing promises to be more than just another taproom—it’s aiming to be Easton’s newest destination for beer lovers and foodies alike.

Occupying the former home of Böser Geist Brewing Co., which closed in 2023 after a seven-year run, Ranch City Brewing is the brainchild of six passionate entrepreneurs: AJ and Nikki Mitchell, Dan and Daneal O’Leary, and Kyle and Cynthia Randell. Together, they’re bringing experience, energy, and community spirit to the table.

“We’re building the kind of brewery we’d want to hang out at ourselves,” said co-owner AJ Mitchell. “Whether you’re out with friends catching the game, or on a date night looking for quality food and drinks, we’ve got something for you.”

Craft Brews and Culinary Roots

At the heart of Ranch City’s beer program is Dan O’Leary, a seasoned brewer with over 15 years of experience, including stints at Blue Point Brewing, Port Jeff Brewing, and several Iron Hill Brewery locations. Dan will helm a 10-barrel brewhouse, producing a rotating lineup of styles from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, balanced lagers, and even hard seltzers.

Expect 24 taps pouring everything from house flagships to seasonal specialties and guest beers. Highlights include:

  • Quiet Man – a silky nitro Irish dry stout

  • Soft Saddle – a crisp cream ale

  • Schitzen Giggles – a playful German pilsner

In addition to beer, Ranch City will serve local wine, craft cocktails, and a curated bourbon selection with an emphasis on Pennsylvania distilleries.

Elevated Pub Grub

Food is no afterthought here. With a chef who’s sharpened his knives in New York’s Little Italy for over two decades, Ranch City will serve an inspired menu that includes:

  • Artisan pizzas (personal and sharable)

  • Smash burgers on fresh-baked rolls

  • Cheesesteaks, chicken wings, hush puppies, bacon-wrapped shrimp

  • Twisted Tees favorites like loaded potato scoops and the “Dirty Dog” chili-cheese hot dog

As AJ puts it, “It’s all about high-quality, made-to-order food that pairs perfectly with beer.”

A Space That Blends City and Country

The renovated interior stays true to its industrial roots while weaving in rustic-modern elements—think exposed brick, corrugated metal, graffiti murals, and pendant lights hanging from rope. With seating for around 150 patrons, the vibe strikes a balance between casual comfort and visual flair.

 

The name Ranch City reflects the team’s diverse backgrounds—some from cityscapes, others from rural and suburban roots—and speaks to the inclusive atmosphere they’re cultivating. As co-owner Nikki Mitchell explains: “We wanted a place where everyone feels at home.”

A New Chapter at the Silk Mill

Ranch City Brewing joins a growing community at Easton’s Simon Silk Mill, which already includes local hotspots like:

  • Seven Sirens’ The Blendery

  • Easton Wine Project

  • The Tipsy Crow

  • Owowcow Creamery

  • Spectracolor Coffee Roasters

With bold brews, inventive food, and a welcoming ambiance, Ranch City Brewing is set to become a key player in the Lehigh Valley beer scene.

Fox House Brewing Permanently Closing https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/06/17/fox-house-brewing-permanently-closing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fox-house-brewing-permanently-closing Wed, 18 Jun 2025 00:30:39 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16437 Fox House Brewing Permanently Closing

Fox House Brewing will be permanently closing on Sunday June 29th, shuttering their brewery at 222 Farnsworth Ave, Bordentown, NJ 08505.

Fox House Brewing’s announcement via Instagram (photo courtesy of Fox House Brewing)

June 29th Will be Fox House Brewing’s Last Day

As noted above, on Sunday June 29th, 2025, Fox House Brewing will be closing their Bordentown brewery permanently.

They posted this via social media:

Fox House will be closing permanently on Sunday, June 29th.

NJ brewery laws require that you have a location, zoning variance, all the buildout done, and a certificate of occupancy with all the equipment installed before a license is issued. This is while paying rent the whole time. As I’m sure you remember, opening Fox House took way longer than anticipated. So I had to skimp on brewhouse equipment with the intention of buying something more reliable later on. But it collapsed last week. While I could buy a new system today, it would take months to have it built, installed, and finish new batches. So I would have to close for a while.

I’m exhausted. I miss my wife and kids. So I’m taking this as an opportunity to bow out and hopefully hand it off to another brewery. While I’m disappointed and embarrassed, I would be even more disappointed and embarrassed had I not done something I could be proud of. And that’s what I did, for however fleeting a moment.

Thank you all for the support you have given me and the enjoyment you have taken in patronizing Fox House. I’m sorry that I couldn’t do better.

-Chris Campbell

Fox House Brewing Instagram Post

 

We recommend any and all to come on out on Sunday to wish them all well and to hope and give them good luck for the future. In the current state of not just the economy, but the craft brewery market, its getting harder and harder to find the margins and the profits, and its getting harder and harder for businesses and craft breweries especially to survive. We need to do all we can to help them continue to stay afloat and to patronize them where and whenever we can.

If we get any more information or news, we will be sure to post here, to stay tuned.

For More Information on Fox House Brewing

The following comes via Untappd.

Fox House Brewing is a micro brewery from Bordentown, NJ. They have 17 unique beers and 525 Untappd ratings. They have a global Untappd rating of 3.73 (as of 6.17.25). Their Untappd description is blank.

Voodoo Brewing Announces Their North Shore Location is Closing https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/06/02/voodoo-brewing-announces-their-north-shore-location-is-closing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=voodoo-brewing-announces-their-north-shore-location-is-closing Mon, 02 Jun 2025 20:25:28 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16401 Voodoo Brewing Announces Their North Shore Location is Closing

Voodoo Brewing announced via social media that their Pittsburgh, North Shore location is closing. Tuesday – June 3rd, 2025 will be its last day where you’ll be able to have a chance to go in and grab a beer. They opened August 27th, 2022. (Voodoo Brewing to Open Pittsburgh North Shore Location on August 27th) The Pittsburgh Pub is located on the North Shore at 337 N Shore Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 (in between PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium; formerly Heinz Field).

Several Voodoo Brewpubs closed in 2024 and even already in 2025.

Voodoo North Shore Brewpub Announces Closing

 

Voodoo Pittsburgh Pub in North Shore Announces Closing

Yesterday via social media at 12:48 PM EST they announced that their brewpub on the North Shore (near the PNC Park and Southern Tier’s location) will be closing, with the “last day to grab a beer with us here” is Tuesday (June 3rd, 2025).

Their post reads:

What a blast it’s been serving the North Shore.
After almost three years, we’ve made the call to close the pub so we can double down on what we do best: brewing world-class beer and making it more available throughout Pennsylvania. This shift will allow us to improve our production, expand distribution, and support our growing network of franchise locations across the country.
We’re entering the final days of our North Shore pub and Tuesday will be the last chance to grab a beer with us at this location. We will be open tomorrow, Monday June 2nd, at 2 PM serving up $5 draft beers.
Thank you to everyone who stopped in and supported us on the North Shore and to our staff who made it happen every single day. If you’ve been meaning to visit, now’s the time.
Come raise a glass and help us close things out right. It’s not good bye, it’s I’ll see you later.
The comment section is certainly interesting, with a mixed reaction of “oh no” to “wow, only two days notice for employees” to “what a shocker, another Voodoo Brewpub closing”. One commenter in particular saying:
woohoo 30 people no longer have jobs and they gave everyone a 2 day notice during the busiest time of the year. 🔥 another amazing business choice. ill never forget when they decided to lay off several people on christmas eve and when the owner TRIED to make us take down our pride flags. i hope this brand goes to shit as its clearly on its way there.
V’s down
With a follow up reply to that comment:

I was hoping someone would call them out on this one! I don’t understand why companies think that’s ok! I’m sure most of the hiring for summer has already taken place so that leaves these employees in an even tougher spot!

 

The comments followed up with rumors of what might be going into the location – possibly a “Shorty’s”.

They later posted this, at 6:09 PM via Facebook:

Voodoo Brewing Co. Pittsburgh Pub Talking About Monday’s Hours

We will be open tomorrow, Monday, June 2nd beginning at 2pm for $5 Draft beers. Come see the gang one last time on the North Shore before we close our doors Tuesday Night.

Voodoo Brewing Co. Pittsburgh Pub (Facebook Post)

Just as before, mixed comments were left. Voodoo Brewing hasn’t responded to any as of my time of writing this (4:00 PM June 2nd).

One comment saying:

I do not understand why anyone would want to waste their time and money for a company that has zero respect for their employees.
For your business to give your employees no notice that they are losing their jobs is absolutely absurd and speaks volumes.
You guys fucking suck, this is a blessing in disguise for your whole crew. They deserve better

Voodoo Brewpubs Closing

Seems to be a rash of Voodoo Brewing locations closing not just in 2024, but continuing into 2025. They are a franchise based brewery, so there is numerous locations. Some as far away (from Pennsylvania) as Reno Nevada (which has closed), which you can read about here: Voodoo Brewing Closes Reno Location.

Voodoo Brewpubs That Closed in 2024 or 2025

As of June 2025, at least six Voodoo Brewing Company locations have closed during 2024 and 2025:

  1. Fort Worth, Texas: Opened in July 2024 and closed by late October 2024 due to insufficient revenue to cover operational costs.

  2. Fort Myers, Florida: Opened in April 2024 and closed on March 30, 2025, after facing challenges such as bridge and road closures and two hurricanes.

  3. Meadville, Pennsylvania (Arch Street location): Closed on January 2, 2025, after over a decade of operation. The company transitioned operations to “The Compound,” their production facility.

  4. Grand Prairie, Texas: Originally a Voodoo Brewing franchise, it rebranded as Rios Brewing Co. in early 2025, ending its affiliation with Voodoo Brewing Company.

  5. Reno, Nevada: Opened in 2023 and closed May 2024.
  6. North Shore, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Opened in 2022 and closing now (June 2025).

Additionally, the Murrells Inlet, South Carolina location announced a closure in December 2024 but remained open due to community support.

Voodoo Brewing Company Closures (2024–2025)

News and Updates

When we get more information, we’ll be sure to update this, and possibly make further articles with more news and updates about Voodoo Brewing, this location, and reasons for the closing.

For More Information on Voodoo Brewing

We have the following articles you can read:

For more information on Voodoo Brewing, the following comes via Untappd.

They are considered a “micro brewery” by Untappd, and listed as located at Meadville, PA. They have 691 unique beers and over 571,000 (just thirty – four shy of 572,000) ratings, with a global average rating of 3.94. As I click and open up their Untappd bio, I am going to assume it was hacked (or possibly an employee about to lose their job or just lost their job that still has access to the Untappd login ability) because this is what it says:

This is Voodoo Brewery, based in Meadville, PA, that opened a location in Valrico, FL. They have horrible beer that they brew themselves and skunk beer from other breweries; the service is atrocious and the vibes are mid at best despite their budget. Do not go to this expansionist corporate hell hole

Before clicking the “read more” you are just shown: “This is Voodoo Brewery, based in Meadville, PA, that opened a location in Valrico, F”

(I am quite curious when this update and change to their Untappd bio was made.)

A NEW INTIMATE CONCERT SERIES, CURRENT SOUNDS, IS COMING TO LAKEFRONT BREWERY FOR PATIO SEASON https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/05/22/a-new-intimate-concert-series-current-sounds-is-coming-to-lakefront-brewery-for-patio-season/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-new-intimate-concert-series-current-sounds-is-coming-to-lakefront-brewery-for-patio-season Fri, 23 May 2025 02:39:33 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16416 A NEW INTIMATE CONCERT SERIES, CURRENT SOUNDS, IS COMING TO LAKEFRONT BREWERY FOR PATIO SEASON

Starting this weekend, Lakefront Brewery welcomes some of the best local musicians for stripped-down performances on their perfectly-suited patio space.

Current Sounds

It’s been 3 years since Lakefront completed work on their award-winning patio renovation and they’re excited to continue to find ways to celebrate it. Current Sounds is a brand new music series that will feature unique performances from musical artists ready to pull back the curtain and provide a special experience for Lakefront’s patio guests.

 

“There is a wide variety of eclectic musicians that we’re lucky to have”, says Sean Anderson, local musician and Lakefront Brewery tour guide who handles all music booking for the brewery. “It was fun to offer such a serene and special spot for the artists to get creative and in some cases, push the boundaries of the shows they’re used to playing”.

 

Current Sounds is free to attend and will occur every Saturday from 2pm to 4pm starting this Saturday May 24th through August 30th, with two special Sunday performances: this weekend ahead of Memorial Day, and Labor Day weekend. Friday performances will be from 3pm to 5pm and begin on June 13th. All Friday performances are a part of It’s Alive presented by the Milwaukee Theater District.

 

Grab some award-winning beer, a basket of their famous cheese curds, relax along the river, and take in the Current Sounds.

When Canada Attacked Yuengling! https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/05/19/when-canada-attacked-yuengling/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=when-canada-attacked-yuengling Mon, 19 May 2025 19:44:46 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16369 When Canada Attacked Yuengling!

Thirty years ago, Canada struck at the brewing pride of Pennsylvania. The sudden, unexpected broadside was aimed at Yuengling. At stake was the very definition of “America.”

Yuengling Lager

In 1995, Yuengling wanted to trademark the slogan “America’s Oldest Brewery” for its products. Since 1829, the brewery had been making its beer in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. However, Molson Brewery objected. Founded in 1786 in Montreal, Molson not only argued that it was older than Yuengling, but Yuengling’s use of “America” was “deceptively misdescriptive.” Molson’s attorneys claimed that “America is synonymous North America,” which definitely includes Canada. For Molson, Yuengling was being dishonest with beer drinkers in the United States and around the world.

The Yuengling family was unimpressed. At the time, fifth-generation brewery owner Richard L. Yuengling Jr. quipped, “When Kate Smith stands up and sings ‘God Bless America,’ she’s not singing about Saskatchewan.” Plus, the brewery had been using its slogan since 1957 without any confusion over what country Yuengling was located.

The Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office took up the dispute. Molson went as far as to introduce a Webster’s dictionary of geography to show that America means North America. Yuengling responded by showing that Molson’s marketing had previously referred to the brewery as Canada’s oldest instead of America’s. Clearly, Molson understood the distinction.

Anyone who has looked at the label of a Yuengling beer lately knows the end of the story. It took nearly four years for the Board to reach its decision. For the board members, there was no evidence that “the purchasing public in the United States would equate the term ‘America’ with North America, rather than the United States of America.” Case closed.

Over twenty years later, all was forgiven. In 2020, Yuengling and Molson announced a joint venture to distribute Yuengling beer farther west… in America.

LAKEFRONT BREWERY ANNOUNCES EXPANDED OFF-SITE FOOD OFFERING, CURDS À LA CARTE https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/05/06/lakefront-brewery-announces-expanded-off-site-food-offering-curds-a-la-carte/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lakefront-brewery-announces-expanded-off-site-food-offering-curds-a-la-carte Wed, 07 May 2025 03:22:15 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16383 LAKEFRONT BREWERY ANNOUNCES EXPANDED OFF-SITE FOOD OFFERING, CURDS À LA CARTE

Lakefront Brewery revamps a retired hot dog cart to add Curds à la Carte to their mobile food fleet, providing access to their famous award-winning fried cheese curds for private events.

Curds a la Carte

Lakefront is excited to announce the launch of their Curds à la Carte for off-site private events. You may have seen Lakefront’s CurdWagon food truck servicing patio guests all summer long at Lakefront Brewery. Due to demand at the brewery itself, the CurdWagon is rarely found in the wild. As requests for it continue to come in, Lakefront’s Executive Chef, Kristin Hueneke, remembered a hot dog cart from days gone by.

Curds a la Carte Appetizers

“Back in 2018, we had outgrown the hot dog cart and replaced it with the CurdWagon”, says Hueneke, “the cart has been collecting dust in storage since then, so after a deep clean and a stylish refurbishing, we’ve got it ready for a grand homecoming. It’s exciting for us to be able to provide an affordable and unique catering experience to the local area”, added Hueneke.

 

Curds à la Carte is available every day of the week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It will provide single serving appetizers to those looking to impress their party guests with a true taste of Milwaukee. Curds à la Carte can serve up to 250 guests for graduation parties, weddings, showers, birthdays, and corporate events. It can be booked with a server to provide passed appetizers and a selection of gluten-free menu items are also available.

LAKEFRONT BREWERY HOSTS 3RD ANNUAL PERIOD SUPPLY DRIVE, PARTNERING WITH MILWAUKEE DIAPER MISSION ON THEIR 7TH DONATION EVENT TOGETHER https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/04/24/lakefront-brewery-hosts-3rd-annual-period-supply-drive-partnering-with-milwaukee-diaper-mission-on-their-7th-donation-event-together/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lakefront-brewery-hosts-3rd-annual-period-supply-drive-partnering-with-milwaukee-diaper-mission-on-their-7th-donation-event-together Fri, 25 Apr 2025 03:02:30 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16380 LAKEFRONT BREWERY HOSTS 3RD ANNUAL PERIOD SUPPLY DRIVE, PARTNERING WITH MILWAUKEE DIAPER MISSION ON THEIR 7TH DONATION EVENT TOGETHER

In an effort to help end period poverty, the brewery is offering gift card credit in exchange for much needed period supplies.

Lakefront Brewery’s Period Drive 2025

Lakefront Brewery is proud to announce the return of its 3rd Annual Period Supply Drive, held in partnership with Milwaukee Diaper Mission, on Sunday, May 4th, from 11am to 5pm. Lakefront aims to surpass previous collections and help Milwaukee Diaper Mission continue the vital work of combating period poverty in the Milwaukee area. Since launching its first Period Supply Drive in 2023, Lakefront has collected nearly 17,000 period products at various events. Their 2024 drive alone brought in 6,275 products, making it Milwaukee Diaper Mission’s top period supply drive event for that year. With your support, they hope to collect even more this year.

 

To encourage donations, Lakefront Brewery will be offering $0.25 in gift card credit for each individual disposable pad or tampon donated, redeemable in their Beer Hall that day or during any future visit. There is no limit to the amount you can donate; the more you give, the more you get back.

 

Two in five menstruators have struggled to purchase period products in the past year due to a lack of income. Milwaukee Diaper Mission is a nonprofit basic needs bank that distributes essentials like period products through a network of trusted local social service agencies. With a 50% increase in demand over the past year, the organization now serves 1,800 menstruators and needs support to continue meeting a growing need.

 

What to Donate:


Milwaukee Diaper Mission accepts all period products, but super absorbent and overnight varieties are needed most. Only unopened packages will be accepted, and gift card credit will be provided for tampons and pads only.

 

Can’t make it down on May 4th but still want to show your support? Visit Milwaukee Diaper Mission’s website here: https://www.milwaukeediapermission.org/period-program

Human Robot Shutting Down Schuylkill Banks and Opening New Taphouses https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/04/23/human-robot-shutting-down-schuylkill-banks-and-opening-new-taphouses/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=human-robot-shutting-down-schuylkill-banks-and-opening-new-taphouses Wed, 23 Apr 2025 19:21:29 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16248 Human Robot Shutting Down Schuylkill Banks and Opening New Taphouses

Human Robot Beer is shutting down their Schuykill Banks location (on May 31st) and are opening new (two to be exact) taphouses. Crime and Punishment just recently closed and it looks like the vacancy will quickly be filled by Human Robot Beer. Human Robot Brewery will move its Schuylkill Banks tasting room to the recently vacated space of Crime and Punishment Brewing Co. at 2711 W. Girard Ave. in Brewerytown. Human Robot also has plans to open a new spot in New Hope, Bucks County.

Human Robot Beer’s Announcement

The Announcement

The following is Human Robot Beer’s announcement on Instagram:

When one door closes, TWO more open!
.
While we are sad to announce that we will be leaving our @humanrobotschuylkillbanks location on May 31st, we are VERY excited to share that we will be opening TWO new tasting rooms in the very near future.
.
@humanrobotgirard is thrilled to announce our move into the former Crime & Punishment location at 2711 W. Girard ave. We are truly honored to uphold the legacy established by Mike P, Wambs, and their amazing team over the last decade. One of our very first “meetings” took place in this space, and it holds a special place in our hearts. We cherish the memories we’ve made there over so many exceptional beers and look forward to creating even more with all of you. Our hope is to get it reopened as soon as possible. Our buddy Poe will be joining us as well, follow @poessidepiece and please follow our new social for updates!
.
@doublesNH is our new concept in New Hope, PA located at 12 W. Mechanic St. This will be a slightly different spin on what we have traditionally done. For one, we are bringing in a partner, @keithashore , to help with design and art and some special extras to be announced. This is being built from the ground up, so it will take a little longer, but look for us hopefully come July. Again, follow the socials there and we will update when we can!
.
Thanks for being on this journey with us and supporting us every step of the way. More info to come!

Human Robot Brewery Expands: New Locations in Brewerytown and New Hope

Crime and Punishment’s Brewery

Human Robot Brewery is making major moves in 2025, relocating its Schuylkill Banks tasting room to Brewerytown and launching a new concept in New Hope. Here’s what beer lovers need to know about these exciting changes.

Human Robot Brewery Takes Over Crime & Punishment’s Former Space

Human Robot Brewery will soon be calling 2711 W. Girard Avenue in Brewerytown its new home. This location, previously occupied by Crime & Punishment Brewing Co. for a decade, will become Human Robot Girard, replacing the brewery’s current Schuylkill Banks outpost, which will close on May 31, 2025. The move comes after Human Robot finalized a $760,000 purchase of the building, although the deal did not include Crime & Punishment’s business or brewing licenses.

The new taproom will retain much of the character and furnishings of Crime & Punishment, with only the brewing equipment being removed to make way for additional seating. Outdoor seating will also be available, and all former Crime & Punishment staff have been offered positions at the new Human Robot location.

What to Expect at Human Robot Girard

Patrons can look forward to the brewery’s signature lagers, pilsners, and innovative brews, including the popular Milktube pours. The food menu will feature sandwiches from Poe’s Side Piece, an offshoot of Poe’s Sandwich Joint, which is already a staple at Human Robot’s flagship in West Kensington. The brewery aims to honor the legacy of Crime & Punishment while bringing its own unique flair to the neighborhood.

Expansion Continues: New Hope Location Set for Summer

In addition to its Brewerytown plans, Human Robot is preparing to open a new tasting room called Doubles at 12 W. Mechanic Street in New Hope, marking its first venture into Bucks County. This ground-up project is expected to debut in July 2025 and will offer a slightly different experience compared to the brewery’s other locations. The New Hope outpost will bring the total number of Human Robot locations to five, including existing taprooms in Kensington, Jenkintown, and East Passyunk.

Human Robot’s Growth and Legacy

Founded in 2020 by Ken Correll, Chris Roller, and Jake Atkinson, Human Robot Brewery has quickly become a Philadelphia favorite, known for its experimental approach and dedication to quality. Head brewer Andrew Foss has helped popularize the use of Czech Lukr faucets, renowned for producing a thick, creamy foam on their beers.

The End of an Era for Crime & Punishment

Crime & Punishment Brewing Co., established in 2015, became a beloved fixture in Brewerytown, crafting nearly 500 unique beers over its ten-year run. The brewery closed its doors in April 2025, leaving behind a legacy of community and creativity that Human Robot aims to honor as it steps into the space.

With these strategic expansions, Human Robot Brewery continues to cement its reputation as one of Philadelphia’s most dynamic craft beer brands, promising new experiences for fans in both Brewerytown and New Hope.

LAKEFRONT BREWERY ANNOUNCES DATE FOR 4TH ANNUAL GLUTEN-FREE MAIFEST, EMBRACING A FOCUS ON GLUTEN-FREE FOOD https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/04/22/lakefront-brewery-announces-date-for-4th-annual-gluten-free-maifest-embracing-a-focus-on-gluten-free-food/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lakefront-brewery-announces-date-for-4th-annual-gluten-free-maifest-embracing-a-focus-on-gluten-free-food Wed, 23 Apr 2025 02:10:36 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16399 LAKEFRONT BREWERY ANNOUNCES DATE FOR 4TH ANNUAL GLUTEN-FREE MAIFEST, EMBRACING A FOCUS ON GLUTEN-FREE FOOD

The brewery that brought the country its first Certified Gluten-Free beer, New Grist, brings forth the Midwest’s largest gluten-free food festival, Maifest, now in its 4th year.

Lakefront Brewery’s Maifest 2025

In 2005, Lakefront Brewery brewed New Grist Pilsner, the nation’s first Certified Gluten-Free beer. What started out as an accommodation for local celiacs, has grown to supply over half the country with gluten-free beer options. Over the years, Lakefront began to understand how underserved the regional gluten-free community was. Their first Maifest was an instant success, since then, they’ve released an IPA version of their New Grist and converted their CurdWagon food truck to be exclusively gluten-free. Now in its 4th year, Lakefront is focusing their Maifest efforts to celebrate gluten-free food offerings.

Lakefront’s Maifest

On Sunday, May 18th, from 11am to 3pm, Lakefront invites everyone, gluten intolerant or not, to come down to their premiere springtime outdoor festival and embrace the incoming warm weather. Over 30 vendors will be featuring all gluten-free food items, and these 9 delicious food trucks will be serving exclusively gluten-free menus:

Ø  Lakefront’s CurdWagon (including the gluten-free version of their famous fried cheese curds)
Ø  Big City BBQ
Ø  Clean Cruisine
Ø  EZ Tiki
Ø  Fork N Fry Poutinerie
Ø  Girl’s Got Balls
Ø  Pedro’s South American
Ø  Tots on the Street
Ø  Troublemakers Cocina

Lakefront is adding a Cheese Curd Express Lane to get their gluten-free curds into as many hands as possible!

The Maifest

As one should expect, Lakefront will be serving up all their gluten-free New Grist varieties on top of the popular gluten-free cask beers made specially for this event:

Ø  Mango Chile Gosa Rita
Ø  Honey Saffron New Grist IPA
Ø  Arnold Palmer New Grist
Ø  Mimosa New Grist

Guests can also enjoy gluten-free Bloody Marys, wine, soda, and limited gluten and NA beer options. All beverages containing gluten will be served separately, in their Beer Hut.

Lakefront Brewery’s Maifest

Maifest will also be supporting Gluten Intolerance Group (with Cutting Costs for Celiacs) and the Celiac Disease Center at Children’s Wisconsin with a 50/50 raffle. Saunter through Milwaukee’s longest patio, take in the breathtaking views, and enjoy live music from Shotski Polka as you sip and nosh on the area’s best gluten-free goodies. Maifest is a family-friendly, free, rain or shine event and welcomes well-behaved pups to attend if they’re interested.

For More Information on Lakefront Brewery

Lakefront Brewery, Inc. distributes its products to over 30 states, Ukraine, Canada, Sweden, and Denmark. Lakefront Brewery is the first brewery in Wisconsin and 22nd brewery in the world to be certified as a B Corporation. Lakefront Brewery also produced the first beer in the United States made from 100% in-state-grown ingredients, including a first-of-its-kind, indigenous Wisconsin yeast strain (Wisconsinite Summer Weiss), the first certified organic brewery and the first gluten-free beer granted approval by the U.S. Government (New Grist).

Bitchin’ Kitty Brewery Announces Sudden Closure https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/04/17/bitchin-kitty-brewery-announces-sudden-closure/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bitchin-kitty-brewery-announces-sudden-closure Thu, 17 Apr 2025 17:15:17 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16236 Bitchin’ Kitty Brewery Announces Taproom Closure

Just today, at 10:10 AM, Bitchin’ Kitty Brewery announced their sudden taproom and brewery closure. They followed it up with a post at 12:40 PM elucidating a bit more on the closure. But, as it stands, their last day as a taproom and brewery will be this Saturday – April 19th, 2025. The Morrisville brewery and taproom was short lived, but well loved, and was a community stalwart, giving much back to the community and hosting several fundraisers and helping with local groups like the Girl Scouts, etc. Just shy of being open for four years, they will be greatly missed. They are located at 58-B East Bridge St, Morrisville, PA 19067.

Bitchin’ Kitty Brewery Announces Taproom Closing

The Announcement

At 10:10 AM today, April 17th, 2025, Bitchin’ Kitty Brewery announced the following on social media:

It is with great sadness that we announce the closing of our taproom. We hope that during our time open you gathered here with friends and family to enjoy our beer and food and our cozy vibes and cat decor. We pride ourselves on starting a resurgence of new hospitality businesses in Morrisville Borough. We will miss our staff and customers dearly and appreciate you all.  Our last full day of service is Saturday April 19th. If you have any inquiries as to if you can purchase any of our equipment/furniture/artwork or to help in anyway please feel free to email us at support@bitchinkitten.com
They then followed it up with this post at 12:40 PM:
While we say goodbye it is important to look back at where we came from. It has been hard not to feel like we failed our customers, but the world and life is not always easy and kind to small businesses. We put all our effort and heart into this brewery and hope to keep the Kitten alive in someway in the future. We will still be open until this Saturday our normal hours. We would appreciate seeing anyone who can come out before we close! We also appreciate any help/purchases of beer, decor, and equipment we have left! Reach out to us on messages or email support@bitchinkitten.com 🐈‍⬛
The taproom is located at 58-B East Bridge St, Morrisville, PA 19067 and as the above posts show – their last day will be this Saturday; April 19th, 2025. The day before Easter (and 4:20). While most comments online have been condolences, memories, and wishing the brewery owners and staff well; they have been questioned about the short notice of the closing, in which they said: “We have contacted all staff individually, they are like family to us.” We hope for all the best for all involved, especially the staff, that they can find new gainful employment quickly. This does seem like a sudden closure, and with little preamble or indication. Recently another Greater Philadelphia area brewery just closed as well – Crime and Punishment Brewing.
2025 is certainly shaping up to be a rough year for the brewing industry, and it is unlikely that this will be the last brewery closing this year. Fingers crossed that it won’t be too many, but there are a lot of factors going against breweries today. Alcohol apathy, changing market trends, demographics, monetary concerns, tariffs on aluminum and other goods, as well as just time itself.

For More Information on Bitchin’ Kitty Brewery

The following comes via Untappd. Bitchin’ Kitty Brewery is a brewpub from Morrisville, PA. They have 52 unique beers and over 9,400 ratings, with a global average rating of 3.74 (as of 4.17.25). Their Untappd description reads: “Bitchin’ Kitten Brewery opened our doors in October 2021 in Morrisville PA. We have an inside taproom and outdoor patio seating which is dog (and cat) friendly. BKB partners with local non-profit animal rescues (primarily cat rescues) and donates part of our proceeds for their benefit.
