Our Beers

Our beers are undefinable. We aren't set out to be a Belgian brewery or a British brewery, but rather an American craft brewery that feels comfortable bouncing across brewing traditions and styles. We like traditional beers as much as we like extreme beers. We try to walk a fine line between to two at Lavery Brewing Co. If you must classify us, how about a Pennsylvania style craft brewery.

All our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized and naturally carbonated in the bottle and keg.

An important part of our personal history is our Northern Irish ancestry and Celtic culture. This pride has been translated into the names of most of the beers.

Belfast Black (Fall/Winter Seasonal)

This is the beer that started the brewery. Named after the ancient homeland of the Lavery's. It is rich, dark and smoky. Not for the faint of heart but that's how we intended it. It has taste of bacon, which is one of the most beautiful images I can image; a bacon beer. A solid earthy hop bitterness with a little astringency from the dark malts. This beer has no better pair than excellent Vermont Cheddar cheese.

Information:

  • * Malts - Canadian Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Munich and German Rauchmalz.
  • * Hops - Warrior and East Kent Goldings
  • * Lavery Yeast
  • * ABV - 7.2%
  • * IBU - 35

Stingy Jack Pumpkin Ale (Fall Seasonal)

Named after the Irish legend of the Jack O Lantern. The 2009 version of this ale was brewed with Port Farm Pumpkins and Lavery Estate Hops. Subtle spicing to make sure you can enjoy more than 1 pint per session. A drier version of a Pumpkin ale, not cloyingly sweet. A nice toasty/biscuity flavor from the British floor dried malt.

Information:

  • * Malts - Pale Ale, Amber, Crystal and Vienna.
  • * Hops - Northern Brewer and Lavery Estate Cascades
  • * Lavery Yeast
  • * ABV - 7.5%
  • * IBU - 26

Imperial Red Ale (IRA)

 Our IRA has a beautiful burnt orange/red color with the unmistakable aroma and flavor of American hops. This beer is brewed to be dry...bone dry. Over 2# of hops per barrel (that's a lot). Like no beer ever brewed in Erie.

Information:

  • * Malts - PaleAle/2-row, Munich and Crystal
  • * Hops - Amarillo, Centennial and Cascade hops
  • * Lavery Yeast
  • * ABV - 7.2%
  • * IBU -68

Pennsylvania Pale (Summer Seasonal)

Our homage to the great 'London Pride' beer from Fuller's Brewery. This is a British Bitter style ale, a sessionable balanced beer that can be enjoyed pint after delicious pint.

Information:

  • * Malts -Pale Ale/2-Row & Crystal malts
  • * Hops - East Kent Goldings
  • * Lavery Yeast
  • * ABV - 5.4%
  • * IBU - 35

St. Sidonius Saison (Spring Seasonal)

A beer for the ladies and conniseuers. . A floral, hoppy and fruity French style saison. Saison's are completely undescribable so we won't even try. Our interpretation has a simple malt bill, simple hop bill and a good amount of simple sugars to dry out the finish. The yeast is the star of this show. Fruity, spicy, fragrant and alluring.This beer also ends dry and crisp.. the perfect summer lawnmover beer.
As soon as we get on our feet, this beer will be bottled with Brettanomyces! Pure joy!

Information:

  • * Malts - Belgian Pilsner/Pale Ale Malt & Wheat malt. Corn Sugar.
  • * Hops - East Kent Goldings
  • * White Labs 'DuPont Yeast'
  • * ABV - 7.0%
  • * IBU - 40
