About Wishful Thinking Brewing Company
Wishful Thinking Brewing Company is a brewery in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. It also runs a second taproom in Riegelsville. Its website says the beers tend to be paler and sessionable, in the lower ABV range.
The pour is the distinctive part. The brewery uses a Lukr faucet, a method that began in the Czech Republic. Its website says the dense foam is intentional and protects the beer from oxidation, and that six staff are trained Lukr Tapsters.
The website also says the brewery works directly with farmers and producers in its area. It names Hudson Valley Malt, Rabbit Hill Malt and Double Eagle Malt as local partners.
The Bethlehem taproom has a food menu, and the kitchen closes an hour before the bar. Trivia runs every Thursday at 7pm, and a bluegrass open jam happens on the first Monday of each month.
