Half Barrel Brewing Company in Lehighton, Pennsylvania, is a veteran‑owned operation that manages to sound impressive without the pretentious fluff. The place pours a lineup of unique, well‑crafted beers that actually taste as good as they sound, ranging from hop‑forward ales to mellow malty stouts.
