Crowded Castle Joins the Growing List of Breweries in Phoenixville, PA
Located in an old root beer factory, the space has been transformed into a large brewpub offering plenty of space and seating. The space is accented with impressive graffiti throughout.
Brewers Mike Harama and Steve Bischoff create their concoctions on the 17 barrel brewhouse located behind a chainlink fence behind the bar. Harama previously owned Artisan Homebrew, and Bischoff most recently brewed for Sly Fox.
