Smoke plumes linger near
The village rooftops on this frigid morn
Like angels watching from above
To keep inside, the children warm
As they dream, I turn and trace
My footsteps in the virgin snow
That lead me to your warm embrace
Tonight, beside a fireplace glow

IN 2017, when I told folks of my plan to open a craft brewery in the small, Pennsylvania coal region
town of Tamaqua,
they laughed.
⁉️ 😂
When I told them that I bought, and was refurbishing a dilapidated old building that sat vacant for the better part of a decade—smack dab in the center of one of the more undesirable neighborhoods in town—
they told me I was crazy.
🤪 ‼️
“His self-consuming use of his retirement funds to pursue his FANTASIFULL DREAM of opening a brew delivery pub as reviewed before is neither credible nor realistic.”
These words were written as part of a legal OPINION in 2017, so I thought it only fitting to pay tribute to them by naming our Anniversary Hazy IPA—FANTASIFULL DREAM—in recognition of it.
These words grow more and more meaningful with each passing year.
THE IMPROVEMENTS we’ve witnessed in our
Mauch Chunk Street neighborhood and town
since opening our doors in the summer of 2018,
have been nothing short of remarkable.
“A new energy radiates from the central Five Points intersection.” —wrote Jonathan Davies in a DiscoverNEPA Brewer’s Loop Series article published in December, 2019.
“There’s an enthusiasm here fueled by passion, artistry and hereditary grit. And it’s all driven by a forward-thinking breed of entrepreneurs, restauranteurs and community leaders.”
“At the heart of it all, a quiet, dedicated man brews his beer in the back room of a former dry cleaner. His story, along with those of the beer, the building and the town welcome some odd cosmic lineage. Each spills its lesson like a secret into every pint – whispering to willing ears, “Full steam… Onward!”
“The name of the town is Tamaqua, and this gutsy craft brewery illustrating its rise from the slag heap of quiescence is Stoker’s Brewery.”
STOKER’S BREWERY CUSTOMERS, many of whom also patronize local restaurants, businesses, venues and events while visiting, have breathed new socio-economic life into our neighborhood, community and region.
Folks are starting to see the small, coal region town of Tamaqua in a new light, and Stoker's Brewing Company is humbled and blessed to be a part of that.
Thank YOU for helping change the narrative❗️
Thank YOU for making a difference❗️
None of this would be possible without
YOU ‼️ ❤️
If the true meaning of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, then maybe opening a craft brewery in one of the more undesirable neighborhoods in town,
WASN’T so crazy after all.
So come raise a glass to YOUR Fantasifull Dreams—and don’t forget to toast your inspirational naysayers too—because here at Stoker’s Brewery,
we know FIRSTHAND…
Opinions only matter if YOU allow them to.
Cheers❗️🍻
