LOST TAVERN BREWERY IN HELLERTOWN PA
Our home of Hellertown, Pennsylvania has a long and rich history, dating to the 18th century. The town was settled in 1742 by Dutch immigrants, the Heller and Wagner families. The first record of any business in the town is that of a tavern license issued to Christopher Wagner in 1746. Wagner's tavern was the main hub of social interaction in the area, and they likely brewed their beer on-site, as so many early American taverns did. Eventually, the tavern closed and over the years its actual location has been lost to history. We named our business to honor that first tavern, the town it helped create, and the town it is still helping to shape. This is why we say: Honor the Past, Craft the Future
Lost Tavern Brewing opened the doors to our beautiful brewery and tap room in Hellertown on the First of July, 2016. Our second taproom in Bethlehem opened in May of 2019, within the oldest continually operating bookshop in America, The Moravian Book Shop. We look to honor, not only our past and heritage but our hometown, where our company was originally founded, in everything we do. Our aim is to provide fresh beer of the highest quality in a variety of styles, from classics to the creatively crafted.
