Do you love great craft beer and delicious pub food in an awesome historical setting? Then you simply must visit Breaker Brewing Company in Wilkes-Barre Township! This brewery is a labor of love for its founders, who were just so passionate about good beer that they learned from scratch how to make the very best micro-brews. Their mission was to share them with the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania, and to honor the heritage of their region by naming their company after the coal breakers that were part of daily life in the important Pennsylvania coal mining industry. Breaker Brewing Company’s attention to detail and passion for great brews is producing some of the best beer around, so come check it out for yourself!

If anyone in your party isn’t a beer drinker, Breaker Brewing also offers an awesome selection of artisan sodas from Rocky Mountain Craft Soda, as well as wines from Honey Hole Winery.
Beer at School?
Now you can have beer at school, because Breaker is located in an old school house! The 2.5-acre property used to be St. Joseph’s Monastery & School, and Breaker has turned the old school house into a tap/tasting room and dining room for your pleasure. There’s also dining on the outdoor patio, and pets are welcome to dine here with owners. Breaker Brewing’s latest project was turning the old church into their brewing room, and this space also accommodates extra customers on the weekends.
