Allentown Brewery increasing its capacity to meet demand.
Brü Daddys Brewing Company announced today it is building a production facility in south Allentown to meet the growing demand for its beer. Bru Daddy’s has signed a lease with the Allentown Economic Development Council which owns the building at 635 S. 10th Street where the production brewery will be located. Bru Daddy’s Brewing Co. has purchased a 15 bbl brewhouse and will be taking delivery of the equipment in mid-December. The production facility is expected to be operational by early Spring, 2022.
Bru Daddy’s Brewing Co. came on the scene in late 2019, just before the onset of the pandemic, opening their brewpub in downtown Allentown across from the PPL Center. The local brewery has won two awards at the U.S. Open Beer Championship, one each of the last two years. BRÜ DADDY’S recently inked deals with both the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs for naming rights at the craft beer bars at PPL Center and Coca Cola Park. BRÜ DADDY’S flagship beers, Haze Daddy IPA and Hamilton St. Helles Lager are on tap at each bar along with rotating beers.
Rich Ryan, CEO & President of Bru Daddy’s believes the production facility will serve Bru Daddy’s well. “We need to be able to make more of our beer and do so without significantly driving up our overhead. This plan does just that and helps us grow our brand”. The building, formerly a Mack Truck production facility, is owned by Allentown Economic Development Council (AEDC). The facility is divided into individual commercial suites and is also the home to Lehigh Valley Grand Prix and other businesses. Bru Daddy’s will occupy a 26,000 square foot unit and will have ample space to grow the production facility.
Improvements are expected to begin once permits have been secured. Kevin Ryan, the company’s Chief Operating Officer, is excited by the added flexibility that Bru Daddy’s will have with the production brewery. “This will allow us to introduce new lines and create fun and unique beers while still keeping up with demand for our popular beers, like Haze Daddy and Hamilton Street Helles”.
BRÜ DADDY’S Brewing Co. touts their GOOD BEER, REAL FOOD, and COOL VIBES and has developed a reputation for serving food that’s as good as the beer. Hand-crafted, wood-fired artisan pizza is a favorite, but the scratch kitchen menu also features shareables, handhelds, burgers, wings, and salads. The outdoor beer garden is also a popular spot downtown with authentic Bavarian beer garden tables and overhead heaters.
