The West Chester Brewery Crawl (#2 of 30)

From our legal team: Ground rules and best practices

• Time is your friend, eat food, drink water, stick to 1 and done’s or flights, have a plan!

Brewery 1: Levante Brewing

• Address: 208 Carter Dr, West Chester, PA 19382

• Overview: Opening in 2015, Levante became a cornerstone of the West Chester craft beer scene, and a brewery crawl list wouldn’t be complete without it. Starting at Levante is not only a hat tip to their success, it is also a strategic move. Located off 202 and S. Matlack St, Levante is easy to get to but not quite walking distance from the other locations on the list.

• Beers to Try:

  • Cloudy and Cumbersome: Let’s get this one out of the way, if you have never had it, you gotta start here. One of the best NEIPAs around. If you’ve ever heard of Levante, chances are you’ve already had that, so let’s list a few more worth trying.

  • Levante Craft Pilsner

  • Tickle Parts

• Entertainment: Like most good breweries, Levante offers a rotating schedule of food trucks, trivia, live music, and other events (all located here). When food trucks aren’t available, its BYOF.

Okay, it is time to move! Tip your ‘tenders and call your uber. The next spot on the list is about 8 minutes away (the rest are walkable from there). A short trip across town is a spot we’ve already highlighted on this website…
