Straub Brewery Inc (Craft Beer & Brewery in St Marys PA)

Straub Brewery Inc. has been churning out German‑American lagers and crafty brews in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, since 1872 – a solid claim to being one of the oldest family‑owned breweries in the United States. The operation is a straight‑forward affair: hands‑on brewing, no pretentious fluff, just a dedication to flavour that has survived three generations. Their line runs from timeless lagers to inventive seasonal releases, each batch a miniature lesson in heritage and modernity.

The venue itself is a curious mix of history and convenience. The Eternal Tap offers a never‑ending flow of freshly poured draughts, while the Drive‑Thru Retail Store (for when you’re in a hurry but still want quality) lets you grab a pint without the usual fanfare. Inside the Tap Room, the ambience is genuinely historic, and the menu features standout German potato salad and a surprisingly good Cuban sandwich. Small‑batch creations keep the palate guessing, proving that a brewery of this age can still surprise without trying too hard.
