10 Best Craft Breweries in Erie

Nostrovia Brewing Co. Brewery • $
4415 E Lake Rd, 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 really appreciate the vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu, and I always look forward to their vegan special each week! Always my go-to spot, and each time I go, I like it even better than the last.“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this spot. It has such a unique atmosphere inside the historic station, and the beer selection is fantastic. The food was also quite good and paired well with the drinks. It can get pretty busy, especially on weekends, but the staff does a good job of keeping things moving. Definitely a place I'd visit again.“

Erie Beer Company Brewery •
1341 Liberty St, Erie

“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!“

“If you're reading this, you're probably not from Erie, because everyone from Erie knows about this place and the others in the U Pick 6 local chain. They all are great pubs with great food. All super consistent and beloved. Great staff and a really nice owner. If looking for a local place to get a beer and something to eat, look no more. Easy free parking. Easy access off the highway.“

The Trackside Beer Garden Beer Gardens • $$
123 W 14th St, Erie

“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.“
