Bluestone Brewing

All of the partners have loved going to different breweries all over the country. The local market for craft beer has really exploded and we chose to provide a brewery the area could call their own.
Christmas of 2010, one of the partners (Mandy) bought her husband (Brady) a beer making kit as a last minute, impulsive gift and he fell in love with homebrewing … and now we have a 3200 sqft brewery of our own.
We initially bought the property as an investment, but the location (Pitney Street within South Waverly Borough) was too ideal for us to flip, so we have gone through a three year process of planning and building the brewery. We are federally licensed as a brewery and a winery, and state licensed as a brewery, brewpub, and limited winery. This simply means we can only sell what we make, in addition to any Pennsylvania made wine (we currently offer wines from Antler Ridge Winery and Grovedale Winery).
