6 Best Brewpubs near Ephrata

“This was our first time visiting and it was a great experience! I got a flight, my husband had a pint of one of their IPAs. We each really enjoyed our beers and I especially liked the Helles Lager. The brewer and bartender were both super friendly, we can’t wait to visit again!“

“Incredible staff behind the bar and the food was amazing!!“

“My friends and I visited Rural City Taproom on Saturday night during ZenkaiKon 2026. Even though we were unable to enjoy alcoholic beverages, but the friendly staff allowed us to stay and enjoy non-alcoholic despite it being past last call. We appreciated them so much, especially on how they decorated the entire taproom in a way that it was cosplaying for the convention. I managed to enjoy my first Sunset Sarsaparilla when I saw the bottles behind the counter, kept the bottle and bottlecap as a souvenir. Domo arigato, Rural City Taproom! I hope I get to visit your bar again for next year's ZenkaiKon!“

“We went for trivia night and had a blast. Got the beer flight to sample different beers, some apps and sandwiches. The food and beers were great and the guy that did the trivia was a lot of fun, too. I’ve always loved Isaac’s food but it’s even better now that they serve beer and wine.“

“In this area full of large stomach filling meals, you just want soup and a sandwich and with out the feeling that its mass made. This particular Isaacs even has BREWS! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“We had an excellent experience at Lancaster Brewing. We haven’t been there for a few years because we live several hours away, but went out of our way to go today and it was even better than we remembered. Lindsey was our server and was so incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The food was quick and high quality, and we were very impressed with the craft cocktails. We will look forward to the next time we can enjoy a meal here!“
