You can add VK Brewing to the list of breweries that will soon be calling Pennsylvania home. The brewery, which is the brainchild of Jason Van Keuren and Najib Abiaad will soon open its doors in a 4,000+ square foot facility in Glen Mills, PA.

We recently spoke with both Jason and Najib to get a better perspective on the business and their plans for the brewery once they open for guests later this year.

Jason began homebrewing many years ago and soon after he started had converted his basement into a brewpub. This is where he has been producing beer ever since, practicing and honing in on a variety of different recipes.

As we learned, the duo had originally met during a casual neighborhood gathering. Jason had been pouring samples of his beer for his neighbors. The two were enjoying Jason’s beer and thus began a relationship that would bring their partnership together to build out a brewery/ restaurant for locals to enjoy.

The brewery intends to open in a 4,000+ square foot facility which was formerly a yoga studio. As of this writing, construction is underway to transform and breathe new life into the space. Once completed they plan to operate a 10 barrel brewery offering a wide variety of beer. But, as Jason confirmed, “I like more of the classic styles of beer” so guests can expect a rotating taplist of both traditional and modern craft beer.

Beer won’t be the only handcrafted item made onsite. Najib brings to the business a plethora of experience as a restaurateur having owned and operated his own restaurant. He will bring this expertise to the brewery by operating an onsite kitchen that plans to offer both bar and upscale food. The plan for the business is to slow role specials and then add permanent items to the menu as they grow.

VK Brewing will be a family-friendly environment offering local consumers a business where they can enjoy both a well-produced meal and beverage alongside friends. As Jason said; “we want people to have a good beer paired with a great meal at a value that makes them want to come back.” Along with this, Jason having served in the military previously will make this one of Pennsylvania’s many veteran-owned breweries.

The plan is for the brewery to open in late 2022 as construction is still ongoing. However, you can keep up with the brewery in planning by following them on social media on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
