Awards
We’re not in this business for the glory; we’re in it because we love great beer and great food. Still, it’s nice when you get recognition for your hard work from experts in the field and the customers we’re proud to serve.
In 2001, Inc. Magazine voted us to the Inc. 500 list as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies in the U.S. In addition, we've been recognized by the Wharton Small Business Development Center and voted to the Philadelphia 100 as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies in Pennsylvania.
In addition, we were awarded the Entrepreneurial Success Award from the Mid-Atlantic Region Small Business Administration. The Wilmington News Journal voted us "2002 Best in Business - Delaware's Outstanding Companies". And, in 1999, Brewpub magazine awarded us Best Brewpub in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The National Restaurant Association named us to their 2001 Restaurant Neighbor Awards and both the Delaware State Chamber and West Chester Chamber of Commerce has recognized us with Awards of Excellence and Business Person of the Year, respectively.
