Old Forge Brewing has announced they will be consolidating all brewing operations to their Danville, PA location.

With some changes to their brewing system, they believe they can supply the local market with fresh beer produced under one roof.

This announcement came via the breweries’ newsletter with the full statement below for you to read.

This change in consolidating the brewing, also brings with it another change this Fall, the ceasing of all wholesale distribution except their local market. The want to focus on their local market, their brewpub, and their taproom going forward.

Original announcement via Old Forge:

ALL BREWING OPERATIONS TO BE CONSOLIDATED AT THE DANVILLE BREWPUB

We’ve always considered ourselves a small, local brewery since we opened the doors to our brewpub in 2008. Even when we opened the production brewery back in 2012, we knew most of our beer would be enjoyed and appreciated in our local market. Despite craft beer being less saturated back then and our beer being available in many parts of the state, our local market was always our strongest. As it turns out, with some changes to our brewpub system, we believe we can supply our local market with fresh beer produced under one roof. Operating two separate breweries for the volume we are producing doesn’t make much sense when one brewery can serve our needs.

As a result of this change, this Fall we will be ceasing wholesale distribution everywhere except our local market, allowing us to focus more closely on the local market, our brewpub, and our taproom. Damien and Darren will continue to brew, keg, and can all the beer at the Danville brewpub. With the smaller brew size we will be able to channel our creativity more frequently and play around with ideas we’ve had for a while that we haven’t had the time for.

These changes will take place over the next couple of months, and there may be some hiccups with availability later in the year as we adjust to the new brew schedule with the smaller system. For our brewpub customers, you’ll notice the construction starting next week. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this project causes at the brewpub, but it should be all wrapped up sometime in October.

Thanks for all your support and patronage. We love brewing beer as much as we love drinking it, and we are looking forward to sharing all the new beers in our future!

Cheers!
