Description
We all have a first story. It’s the one we tell to strangers, job interviewers and people we meet during the course of a day. It’s who we are, where we’re from, what we do, people we know. But our second story is all about the passion we have deep inside. It’s the things we love to do because it defines who we are.

At 2nd Story Brewing Co., our passion is the craft beer that you can witness for yourself being brewed on the second floor. It’s where our second story comes together. It’s where our stellar beer is hand-crafted and handed down.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a yellow color with a medium sized foamy white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was bitter with sharp perfumey hops and Windex. The flavor was band wheat with citrus, strong perfume and was fairly astringent. Long finish. Medium body. Not good.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark chestnut color with orange highlights and a large foamy beige head that lingered forever and left excellent lacing. The aroma was toasty and woody with a coffee presence. The flavor was toasty malts, wood, toffee, coffee, nut and a hint of ripe fruits. Long malt and coffee finish. Med body. Well done.

On tap at Coopers in Scranton. It pours a pale yellow gold color with a white head. The aroma has sweet berries and grapefruit. Lots of fruity hops. The flavor is sweet and pithy with lots of grapefruit and hints of peach. High bitterness and really strong hop flavor. Good stuff.
