Description
Penn Brewery began brewing craft beer back in 1986, making us one of the earliest pioneers in the American craft movement. We started out brewing classic lagers and German beer styles, adhering to the strict quality standards of the 16th-century Bavarian Reinheitsgebot purity laws. As we’ve expanded our lineup in recent years to include IPAs and other contemporary styles like chocolate and pumpkin beers, we’ve stayed true to our quality craftsmanship, brewing all of our beers by hand with top-tier barley and hops. We’re proud to say that Penn beers have won a total of twenty Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer Cup® medals.

Tap at hollywood gardens, rochy. My beer is not as cloudy as the one pictured. It actually just barely has a haze. However, you must know its the first beer of the day off this tap, mind you. Slight nose of IPA, but a rather neutral olfactory. Taste is a little fruity at first, then the IPA sets in. Yes, quite bitter in the middle. Never exceeds the boundary of IPA. Better than most IPA I've tasted.
