Straub Brewery, located at 303 Sorg Street in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, brews four flagship beers: Straub American Lager, Straub American Light Lager, Straub American Amber Lager, and Straub IPL (India Pale Lager), as well as a growing portfolio of craft beers.
Straub Brewery was founded in 1872 by Peter Straub (1850-1913) of Felldorf, Württemberg, Germany, who purchased the Benzinger Spring Brewery from his father-in-law, Francis Xavier Sorg.
Located in the heart of the PA Wilds region of Pennsylvania, Straub Brewery has brewed beer continuously since 1872. Today, Straub Brewery is the third oldest brewery in the United States and considered an American Legacy Brewery™. It is still owned and operated by the original founding family, now into its seventh generation. Straub Brewery is also the smallest pre-Prohibition brewery still in business in the United States.
In 2007, Fodor's Travel named Straub Brewery one of the "5 Best Places in America to Drink American Beer."
Straub Brewery also holds the distinction of being the last brewery in the United States to produce and sell beer in returnable 16-ounce glass bottles, commonly called "Pounders." The Brewery uses a traditional bottle-washing machine to clean the returned glass bottles and prepare them for refilling. Heavy-duty, reusable cardboard cases and dividers enable the Brewery to minimize the amount of new packaging material. Straub Returnables are known to be an environmentally sustainable product, produced by an American Legacy Brewery™ in the PA Wilds.
Straub Brewery's four flagship beers, which are brewed year-round, are: Straub American Lager, Straub American Light Lager, Straub American Amber Lager, and Straub IPL (India Pale Lager).
Straub Brewery's growing portfolio of craft beers include: Kölsch Ale, Vienna Lager, Dunkel, Helles, Doppelbock, 1872 Lager, Maibock, Groundhog Altbier, Oktoberfest, Pilsner, and Hefeweizen.
The most popular tourist attraction at Straub Brewery is the Eternal Tap™. Located just off of the production floor, visitors are invited to sample an ever-changing selection of Straub's flagship and craft beers at the Eternal Tap™.
The Eternal Tap™ has garnered national and international attention in such media outlets as the Associated Press, Maui News in Hawaii, Salem Evening News in Massachusetts, Orlando Sentinel in Florida, Saginaw News in Michigan, and the Toronto Star in Canada.
