Pennsylvania Statewide Brewery Count
There are 67 counties in Pennsylvania
and I have listed the number of breweries and brewery-pubs licensed by the
Commonwealth to operate as such. The Liquor Control Board issues the licenses
and to find a brewery or pub visit their site at https://www.lcbapps.lcb.state.pa.us/webapp/PublicLicenseeSearch/
The state issues a G license for a
manufacturer of malt beverage by a brewery and after that has been issued a GP
license can be issued so the brewery can also operate as a restaurant. Some
home brewers have websites that infer that they are a brewery and may have
actually formed a brewing company, but as they are not licensed to brew they
are not a part of this work.
Here is a quick summary:
Pennsylvania has 219 breweries of which
87 are brewery-pubs as of the date shown above.
45 Counties have breweries, 22 do not.
Of the 45 brewing counties, 30 have
brewery-pubs
Lancaster has 24 breweries. Allegheny
is second with 21.
Philadelphia County is in 6th
place with only 11 breweries.
First place Lancaster is also first in
brewery-pubs with 12. Pittsburgh is in 4th place with 7
brewery-pubs. Philly has only 3 as do 3 other counties.
15 Counties that have breweries do not
have any brewery-pubs. Sad.
There are 8 counties in which every
brewery is a brewery-pub.
York County has the highest ratio of
brewery-pubs to breweries with 10/13 other than the 8 having 100%.
