\u201cI\u2019ve eaten here several times before,\u201d said Matt Sewalt, who was having dinner with friends at the Bluestone Brewing Company. \u201cThe food is always good.\u201d<\/p>\n

November was a very special month for Bluestone Brewing Company because they celebrated their fifth anniversary.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 17, 2015 Brady Liechty and his family decided to build a brewery from the ground up. Family members consist of Liechty and his wife, Amanda, Brian and Linda Kennedy and PJ and Dorinda Kennedy. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe built from brand new,\u201d said Liechty, who is very proud of their establishment, especially how clean it is. It was designed with windows around the brewing area for patrons to see when they first enter the building. It shows the cleanliness of their process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s kept people coming back through all this COVID experience \u2013 our cleanliness,\u201d said Liechty.<\/p>\n

Thad York is the head brewer from Bungy, an area between Troy and Mansfield. He has 20 years of home brewing experience. Both the owners and patrons of Bluestone Brewing Company now appreciate his creativity. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit of research and a little bit of late night \u2018aha\u2019 where he brainstorms his beer recipes,\u201d explained Liechty. \u201cA lot of them are based on seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now they\u2019re through with pumpkin and about to start snickerdoodle.<\/p>\n

\u201cA cookie inspired beer,\u201d said Liechty, who explained that much of York\u2019s brewing is based on water, ingredients, chemistry and trends in the industry.<\/p>\n

At Bluestone Brewing Company brewing is about an eight-hour process, using a ten-barrel system that makes about twenty one-half kegs at one time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve enjoyed it the last five years,\u201d said York. \u201cIt\u2019s not really work. It\u2019s a very enjoyable job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grain is ground right there in their brewery.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of the brewing process,\u201d explained Liechty. \u201c<\/p>\n

Bluestone Brewing Company has seven full time employees and over 25 part-timers. <\/p>\n

Their popular beers include Trail Juice, Peanut Butter Porter, Penna Pale Ale, and Blueberry Blonde.<\/p>\n

Their food specials change weekly and include hand cut steaks and chicken bruschetta. Some of their most popular items from their regular menu include their Bluestone Burger, Tacos, steak salad and pulled pork Nachos.<\/p>\n

Unlike most restaurants, no microwave or fryer is used at Bluestone Brewing Company.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to cater to the healthy drinkers and eaters,\u201d explained Liechty. \u201cWe cater to those who appreciate quality. All of our food is fresh and cooked to order.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith an 8\u2019 X 16\u2019 kitchen, our head cook, Chris Rossiter and his kitchen crew do a great job,\u201d continued Liechty.<\/p>\n

They try to source as much local food as possible, though it\u2019s easier to do that in the summer months. Some of their food sources include Growen Food, Jelliff\u2019s Maple Products, Kurt\u2019s Making Whoopie and several local food service companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have good quality people who work here,\u201d said Liechty. \u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019ve stayed in business.<\/p>\n

\"Bluestone<\/a>

And in spite of COVID-19 they have kept business going.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe silver lining is that we\u2019ve gained even more local support because of COVID,\u201d said Liechty. \u201cPeople understand we\u2019re more than just a bar; we\u2019ve got great food, great beer and a great environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

This past summer they rented a tent, making their outdoor eating an advantage during a disadvantaged time. <\/p>\n

During the fall they purchased a heater for their back porch to increase their seating, yet still keeping within the framework of social distancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going with the flow of COVID,\u201d said Liechty. \u201cAnd keep on grindin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also focused on canned beer, which is great for take out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s going to be our continued focus because I don\u2019t see restrictions lessening until Memorial Day of 2021,\u201dsaid Liechty. \u201cIt\u2019s a constant interpretation of guidance and recommendations to follow what\u2019s going on with COVID in the state of Pennsylvania.\u201d <\/p>\n

Things seem to be working well for Bluestone Brewing Company. Their patrons enjoy the food and beer, as well as the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeer makes people happy,\u201d said York. \u201cAnd I like happy people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt tastes really good,\u201d said Ramon Garcia. \u201cIt\u2019s my first time eating here since getting out of military training.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nachos are great,\u201d said first timer Jose Garcia. \u201cI\u2019m excited to try my burger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBluestone Brewery,\u201d said Julian Ortiz. \u201cWhere the food is good and the beer is even better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we have such a good quality place with responsible people,\u201d said Brady Liechty. \u201cPeople have fun but they always know who\u2019s going to drive home.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
