Rooted in Erie. Crafted with Purpose.
John Russell Brewing Company was born from a passion for craft beer and hospitality by local restaurateurs John Melody and Russell Stachewicz. Built inside their original beer store—first opened in 2009—the space was transformed into a full brew house and restaurant, bringing brewing, dining, and community together under one roof.
Since beginning on-site brewing in 2020, John Russell Brewing Company has grown into a vibrant Erie brew pub that blends craft beer culture with casual pub dining. Enjoy a full bar with craft beers on tap and specialty cocktails, alongside a menu of wood-fired brick oven pizzas, appetizers, specialty flatbreads, sandwiches, salads, and more. Outdoor bar and patio seating, private event spaces, and beer-to-go from our coolers make it easy to enjoy John Russell Brewing Company anytime.
