About Erie Ale Works
Erie Ale Works is a small Erie brewery started by homebrewers who moved from a garage setup into a commercial shop. Its website says the brewers also work behind the bar. The brewery sits at the intersection of West 12th and Chestnut Streets.
The taproom sits beside the production equipment in an open-concept room. Erie Ale Works serves pints and flights and fills both crowlers and growlers for beer to go.
The brewery does not run a full kitchen, but it regularly brings in local food trucks during warmer months and keeps delivery suggestions on its site. It also runs a local nonprofit fundraising series.
Google lists a wheelchair accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating. The website says the front lot can fill up quickly.
