Pilger Ruh Brewing: Craft Beer with Skook Roots

Pilger Ruh Brewing is a highlight of the NEPA craft beer scene, proudly brewing small-batch beer in the heart of downtown Pottsville. Since opening in 2017, this community-focused nano brewery has built a loyal following with its wide range of styles—from crisp pilsners and juicy IPAs to creative sours, dark stouts and house-made hard seltzers.

Step inside and grab a seat at their 25-foot concrete bar or settle in at one of the communal tables. With about a dozen beers on draft at any time, there’s always something new to try—whether it’s a seasonal limited release or a local favorite. Sample a flight or enjoy a full pour while soaking up the laid-back, industrial atmosphere accented by local artwork and good conversation.

BYOF & Beer To-Go

Pilger Ruh is proudly BYOF (bring your own food), so grab takeout from a nearby spot or keep an eye on their social media for food truck updates. They often host local trucks on weekends, making it a perfect stop for a relaxed night out in Pottsville.
