Just a Quick Czech in...

March ended on a high note at John Russell Brewing Company with a packed Passport to Win Ireland event—230+ pints poured, 260 passports collected, and big congrats to the winners, Kerriann and Mike Weese.

A huge thank you to the team and loyal guests who made it all happen. New beer “Czech out these…” is off to a strong start, with more releases coming soon.

As spring rolls in, expect fresh menus, patio season, and plenty of cold beer to enjoy in Erie’s warmer weather.

Greetings from the World of John Russell! 

We go by a lot of names at the Brewery. Some of you know us as the Brew House, “my office,” “our place,” Johnny Russ Island, the list goes on and on. Maybe we are your favorite I-90 pit stop or perhaps you didn’t even know we were even here until recently, but regardless of how long it’s been, we are grateful for your patronage and glad you’re here.
