The only thing we love more than seeing new breweries in PA open, is when an established brewery opens a new location! And that is the case with Columbia Kettle Works expanding their presence.
As we previously reported Columbia Kettle Works has been working on a second location known as 2nd Gear which will be coming to Lancaster. And the grand opening has finally arrived! This new space will be located at 112 N. Water St. in Lancaster. If you haven’t experienced Columbia Kettle Works for yourself, check out our review from one of our trips.
