Voodoo Brewing Company

Voodoo Brewing Co. is a brew pub that is here to bring bold, innovative world-class beers and eclectic, locally-curated pub food menu to fans everywhere. Their love for the beer that they brew, their commitment to quality ingredients, and their attention to detail is evident in every sip.

Voodoo is more than a craft brewery run by a bunch of friends who love and understand beer on a molecular level. Itʼs more than a textbook definition of serendipity, kismet, happenstance, or any other fun-to-say word that means everything falling into place for a reason. Itʼs even more than the unmatched liquid alchemy our (both spiritual and literal) brother Curt performs in his lab to create some of the best beer ever produced on this planet. Voodoo Brewery is the magical point where all these important elements intersect and overlap to create an experience that is truly special for Owners and customers alike. Itʼs what happens when a dream takes flight and something amazing is born.

(Oh, and if you wanted the literal explanation, Voodoo is a highly-successful brewery that has gained overwhelming success and global recognition in the craft brewing world, thanks to our bold, innovative beers and commitment to quality and detail. Weʼve got kickass, laid-back brewpubs all over our home state of Pennsylvania that serve our expertly-brewed beers on tap, along with a fun menu that takes the concept of “pub food” to a whole other level. And now weʼre franchising. We should probably mention that too.)

The Craft Beer Industry

If you think craft brewing is only appreciated by a handful of beer snobs with man-buns and neckbeards, think again. The craft beer industry is currently worth over $33 billion- and that number is expected to increase by 15.8% over the next 5 years.

Basically, owning a brewery is like swimming in a big pool of liquid gold- you got some serious potential for profit since people wonʼt stop loving good beer any time soon.
