Shreck Tavern Stout
Prominent roasted barley and malt aromas with distinct mocha undertones. This dark chestnut brew has a characteristic bitter snap to it followed by an enjoyable creamy finish
Americana Pale Ale
This beer grabs it's incredible flavor flavor from the pilsner base malts and it's generous hop infusion. Lighter in color the Pale Ale is one step closer to enjoying the hopper characteristics of its big brother the IPA
42nd Mile IPA
A fan favorite, this IPA delivers a sassy slap of the fresh hop aroma craft beer drinkers crave! This brew has a strong malt backbone, triple infused hops followed by a dry hop addition creates a well-balanced approachable IPA.
Conrad Kölsch
The Conrad Kölsch is a relatively subtle ale created with all barley malt with a bright straw yellow hue. The flavor has a hint of sweetness followed by a crisp finish, creating a smooth balance to the palate.
Whistle Stop Amber Ale
The Amber Ale has a beautiful copper color with great head retention. A great combination of malt and hop characteristics create a hearty brew with incredible body making it the premier session beer of the Black Forest line.
Here at Black Forest Brewery, we work hard to provide the best beers and food in a relaxed friendly environment. Your experience is complete with a stay at our historic award-winning B&B located right next door to our brewery.
our
journey
Dreamt on a mountain, developed around the table!
The idea of opening a craft brewery began when Bob with his sons, Ryan, Ross and Reese were backpacking on the Black Forest Trail in Pennsylvania. What a great idea! We can brew our own beer, open a brewery and enjoy some good old sessions with family, friends and new acquaintances.
