CLOSING STATEMENT

Dear friends of Broken Chair Brewery, We are writing to let you know that we
have had a tremendous time selling beer and curating good times in West Reading,
but it is time for us to start slowing down and get ready for retirement. As of
September 2024, Broken Chair Brewery will be closed.
This decision was not made lightly. Despite the incredible journey and the many
successes we have shared, a recent job promotion in my full time job and
actually wanting to start slowing down has made this necessary. The business
would need to expand to keep being successful and would need further investment.
I just do not have the time and do not want to further invest this close to my
retirement. I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part
of this journey. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or have only
recently discovered our brews, your support has been vital to our story.
I want to thank our dedicated staff which has been with us for several years.
Their hard work is what made our brewery. A business is only as strong as its
staff, and we had the best. I will miss every one of them.
To our beloved customers, thank you for the enthusiasm and loyalty you have
shown. Your appreciation for our craft has been a constant source of motivation.
We hope that our paths will cross again in the future, maybe at a beer fest.
To my family who made this dream a reality I want to give my love and sincere
thanks. I am not the easiest person to deal with and you rose to that challenge
and kept me in line when it needed to be done. I know you are looking forward to
other endeavors and rewards in the future.
We invite you all to visit us for one last toast before we close. It would be a
joy to share a final round of cheers with the community that has made Broken
Chair Brewery more than just a brewery, but a family.
Thank you once again for all the memories and good times. Although we are
closing this chapter, the experiences we shared will always be cherished.
Cheers, Todd, Joan, Dan

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED

Broken Chair Brewery, like many small businesses, began in a garage. After years
of trying beers that were overly bold, hoppy, and extreme in flavor, we wanted
to create brews that everyone could enjoy. Our goal was to offer a diverse range
of beers, so there would be something for every taste. It wasn’t easy—there were
plenty of batches that ended up down the drain—but through trial and error, we
finally crafted beers we were proud of. A few years into our brewing journey, we
decided to take things to the next level. Finding the perfect spot took months,
but we knew West Reading was where we wanted to be. The community is incredibly
supportive of small businesses, especially along Penn Avenue. When renovating
the space, we discovered beautiful brick walls hidden beneath stucco and decided
to keep the unique patchwork tile floor from the building’s previous life as a
tile shop. The result is a warm, inviting tasting room. In the back, visible
through glass-paneled door, is our brewery, featuring an all-stainless steel
setup with a small 2-barrel brewing system and 8 fermenters. This setup allows
us to brew a wide variety of beers and frequently rotate new offerings as soon
as one is tapped out.

 * Flavorful, handcrafted brews
 * 24 taps
 * Vibrant atmosphere
 * Interactive trivia & music bingo
 * Local live music

This location is now permanently closed.



424 Penn Avenue, West Reading, PA 19611
