17 Best Craft Breweries near Bethlehem

“This might just be my favorite brewery in the Lehigh Valley. I haven't tried one beer that I haven't liked. The service is amazing and the beer is even better. I'll have to make it to their Hellertown location to see how that is too.

Note - to my knowledge, the food is not staffed or operated by Lost Tavern. They just happen to share the same space but it's too separate places. Some people come in just for food or just for beer - you don't need to do both but you can!“

“Flew into the Lehigh Valley to visit family and Bonn Place was recommended as ‘this will be your new favorite brewery’.

Staff: 10/10. Our first visit to Bonn was moderately busy, but the staff took the time to answer questions, was friendly and knowledgeable, and was very attentive.
Our second visit was slammed busy with a line practically out the door.
I honestly didn’t notice a difference or drop in service. Absolute all-stars.

Beer: this place is a goldmine of English pub styles with outstanding milds and bitters. We worked our way through the tap list and couldn’t find a beer that wasn’t good to great.

Parking: located next to two large parking lots (pay). Well lit.

Food: none. Fuel up before you go.

Atmosphere: small, quaint, but comfortable and welcoming. On our first visit, another patron at the bar told us, “I envy you…I wish I could experience this place again for the first time.” It’s that kind of place. You just click with the vibe and it feels good. On both visits here, we didn’t want to leave.

Overall: I brewed my first beer 25 years ago. I’m a certified beer judge. I’ve lived all over the US and traveled extensively. Not everyone is going to instantly click with this place, or fall in love with their style. I did, and I have. Bonn Place is in my top 20 favorite breweries in the US. Give them a try.“

“Excellent beer and very friendly staff“

“Walked in on a random Wednesday night alot of locals bellied up to the bar, sat a few tables away from the bar just enjoying the atmosphere and the beers. One of the owners Jordan comes over introduced himself and we hit it off like I was a regular there. He gave me a tour of the brewery, explained the history of the company and told me about the beers and hopwater they have. I recommend give it a try its quite different but refreshing. If you're looking for an at home local brewery feel especially if your an out of towner I can not recommend this place enough.“

“Fantastic place. So many amazing beers including the White, Hefe, and raspberry hard tea. Always friendly and speedy service. Fun variety of activities from bingo to retro video game night. Always a great time.“

“Friendly staff, awesome atmosphere, and delicious beer! 👍👍“

“I do love good Kombucha and there are so many local favorites, yet High Point knocks it out of the park!!!! Especially enjoy the 12oz cans, perfect size and great way to just sit in the shade on the rocker and watch the chickens go by with a cold one! You can taste the dedication and passion in the flavors, thank you!!!!!“

“This is a great local brewery to hang out and enjoy delicious drinks with friends.“

“I visited Sage Alley with my sister last night. It was a beautiful night and we sat outside. Our beer was great and the food was also delicious. The service was attentive and the owner even stopped by to say hi. We will definitely be back. Great beer, great food, friendly and welcoming environment!“

“I’ll keep it 100. I work for another beverage distributor as a direct competitor to south mountain beverage and I understand why our store falls behind. First and foremost is the huge selection south mountain beverage carries and always has in stock. Second is the pricing, we can’t compete on the DEALS these guys are able to get for their customers and our community. I’m a numbers guy and I’m not entirely sure how they keep the lights on selling at the prices they do but really it comes down to the relationships they have made with their suppliers. Third, location location location. South mountain beverage positioned their business in a way that draws in patrons from surrounding businesses and institutions - the market, the pizza shop, and the middle school. The new ownership is world class, they provide excellent service and they’re funny man. As soon as all this crazy stuff settles down I’ll be trying to get a job here but until then I’ll continue working at my current store and after a hard day’s work if you’re like me you’ll stop on by and get yourself a 6 pack and a lotto ticket and hangout with the guys at south mountain beverage.“

“love the selections of beer! The staff is also super friendly every time I go. Also love that they have live music.“

“Great Brews -->> Staff>>>>“

“Fabulous beer selection! Wonderful staff! Try this place out!“

“1st time here, food is excellent! Beer is really good and the staff are very nice“

“This is a new brewery here in the Lehigh Valley. We stopped in for a late lunch after shopping at the mall.

My wife and I sat at the bar and a few of the Vienna Red Lagers. I ordered the Black Bean Burger. This was full of flavor. Nice touch of adding Pico de gallo. One of the better black burgers I've had in a while.

I ordered an old fashioned for dessert. They use Bloody Butcher bourbon whiskey.

This is a huge place. We happened to arrive at a quieter time, which was better for us. Sam was a FANTASTIC bartender!

Parking: Depending on the time you arrive will determine how easily you'll find parking.“

“We used the venue for my daughter's sweet 16 party. The staff was fantastic and helpful on anything we needed. They let us DIY the decorations the night before. The food was fun and tasty -- we did a make your own pasta bar, which was such a hit with girls. I cannot recommend them highly enough.“
