12 Best Craft Breweries in Erie

“We have been going to Nostrovia since they opened, and we make it a point to go at least 2-3 times a month. The beer list is changing out frequently and always has an option for everybody. Not a beer drinker, no worries because there are options for the non-beer drinkers as well. They always have a cider on tap, frozen drinks in the summer, a mule (compliments of luminary) and sometimes a seltzer is available too. The food is simple, but the taste is incredible! We have never been disappointed here. Not to mention the staff have always been extremely kind and gracious to their guests. Thank you to catering to those of us who come with kiddos with the “busy bee” kits and hot dog meals!! This is beyond appreciated from 2 parents who still want to come and enjoy the place with our 2 year old! Cannot recommend this quaint little brewery enough!“

“I visited this week with some family from out of town. The raspberry cupcake sour they had on tap was a group favorite. The menu changes often but they have a few vegan options: fries, impossible burger, and tofu tacos. (Possibly also the pretzel and salad but they may only be vegetarian). I had the tacos with corn tortillas. Three tacos with cubes of fried tofu with Korean bbq topped with pickled onions and cabbage. They are good, and I will probably order them again, but not my favorite taco. I also had an order of salt&pepper fries, which were nice and crispy, well seasoned, and came in a big portion.“

“It’s everything you’d want your local neighborhood brewery to be.“

“Great beers and people. Wish they were closer.“

“The atmosphere is uniquely cool. It's worth checking out if you're in town.

The booths are great if you can get one. Cool Koehler advert section towards the entrance.

Beer is good. Food is fine, but go mostly for the beer and atmosphere and you'll have a good time. Even the bathrooms are cool.

Parking is metered parking through quarters or an app (check to see what time you're parking, as it's free at certain times in the evening / Sunday I think).

Use the entrance on the right for the entrance and follow the signs. They have lots of events. It's a big place, so sometimes certain sections are fully blocked off, but usually one is available.“

“Nice place recommend you stop in and try a few drafts!!“

“It was a very quick and easy drop for me here. But most of all the address is kinda confusing so truckers follow your GPS here but right before the low hanging bridge take a left on that little drive way and do not turn right. The docks are in the back and the check in is at the glass doors before you get to the end of the building. There is a white bell button kinda up high on the right. There's is sign showing we're to push. Good backing for the docks. Good luck guys!“

“Always love the beer. Salaura always does a great job. very friendly and helpful. Old fashioned is amazing!“

“We were part of a large group from out of town (over 300) attending a dinner and a presentation. The location turned out to be excellent with lots of nearby parking. The hall is large enough to space tables out - providing a comfortable feeling. The food was excellent and was served in 4 buffet lines to get people through quickly. The presentation was shown on a huge screen so everyone could see clearly. It was a well organized and enjoyable session.“

“Putting all 5’s on everything because I wouldn’t change anything. Went on a Thursday evening in January. There was a live band that was the perfect volume. The seating was comfortable. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The manager and owner checked on us. Got the pickled pizza and their dough is perfection. Crispy thin crust, wood fired pizza. Someone else at my table got the burger and fries. No complaint there. The fries do appear fresh cut so if you’re not used to seeing a potato be a potato choose something else. Contrary to a previous review they did have Heinz ketchup. The beer list had many Irish staples.“

“First off this place is neat. Being run inside an old train station is just something you don’t see and makes it so much “warmer” inside. We had some of the craft sodas which were good, and for food we had the fried pierogis, The Pittsburger and The Train Wreck. The pierogis were good, the burger was really good, but the Train Wreck was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’d drive 500 miles to eat this sandwich again. The fries were really good and all off us were stuffed. If I ever come through Erie again this is the first place I’m stopping.“

“Great staff, great beer, incredible food. Traveling through, stopped in PA. Had the white magic wheat beer. Hefe style, which I like, so I was happy. Very good, higher avb. Had the chicky-chicky bang bang sandwich, it was huge and awesome. Just kinda irked I don't live close by. It is a large warehouse building. It's kinda loud, and I wandered into trivia night, so it was probably as loud as it gets. Definitely a positive vibe and good people.“
