By then, Spring House Brewing’s new city brewery and brew pub will be operational, replacing a smaller brewery in Conestoga.
“It’s difficult,” said Keasey, the founder, brewmaster and co-owner.

POTTSTOWN, PA — Pennsylvania’s fledgling craft distillery industry owes a debt of gratitude to America’s micro-brew movement and nobody knows it better than Max Pfeffer.
The director of operations for the Manatawny Still Works and its chief distiller, Pfeffer didn’t have to go far to find his new job.
It was a short hop to go from craft-brewing to craft-distilling for the chemical engineer.
After being educated in brewing at a special school at the University of California at Davis, Pfeffer “went right into beer,” and spent three years at Victory Brewing, followed by three years as brew master at Sly Fox Brewing Co., located directly across the street from the Circle of Progress location of the new distillery.
