Brewery Profile

Straub Brewery Inc

A visit to St. Marys puts Straub Brewery Inc. in the foreground of the city’s beer identity. Operating continuously since 1872, the brewery is recognized as one of the oldest family-owned breweries in the United States, and production remains centered at its original facility. For visitors, that history is the main context: this is not a newer brewery built around rapid rotation alone, but a long-running producer whose reputation is tied to continuity, place, and a German-American brewing tradition. When someone walks in, the point of interest is the working-brewery setting and the chance to try beer from a company that has remained part of the same Pennsylvania community for generations.

Travelers in this part of Pennsylvania often seek out breweries that reflect regional history as much as current craft trends. Straub fits that kind of stop because its core focus remains on handcrafting German-American style lagers, a category that rewards attention to balance, drinkability, and process rather than heavy novelty. At the same time, the brewery also produces contemporary craft beers, giving visitors a way to compare the older lager tradition with more modern preferences in the same visit. For someone building a beer-focused itinerary through north-central Pennsylvania, Straub offers a different perspective from newer taprooms: it connects present-day craft interest with a brewery that has been operating since the 19th century.

Before going, visitors should check the brewery’s current hours, service format, and any available visitor options directly with the business, since details such as tours, food, events, seating, and reservations are not specified here. The taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, including which traditional lagers and contemporary craft beers are available at the time of the visit. Anyone hoping to sample a specific style should verify availability in advance rather than assuming it will be on draft. Because production is still tied to the original St. Marys facility, the visit is best approached as a chance to experience a long-established Pennsylvania brewery at its source, with expectations kept practical and current information checked before arrival.
