the LEVANTE STORY
Roots
​​
Levante started as many home brewing dreams start; the mission to create the perfect beer in a three gallon pot in the kitchen of a small apartment. Eric and Tim quickly realized that this is an exercise in futility, but along the way, their steadfast persistence and the quest to make a truly satisfying beer has resulted in countless hours of research and experimentation. While the small 5 gallon batches allowed for plenty of great experience, they yearned for more creative control.
The brewers decided it was time for a more professional three vessel system, giving them complete control over the brewing process. The 1/2 barrel system gave the brewers a solid platform to refine and perfect a lineup of beers for the most discerning palate. This led to the creation of several great recipes, and a roster of clean crisp beers. The original hobby transformed into a passion for sharing world-class hand crafted beers with those who would appreciate them.
Levante Brewing currently brews on our 15 bbl production brewery system located in West Chester, PA. We are servicing several local restaurants, pubs and distributers. Levante aims to deliver a variety of creative brews to beer lovers in Philadelphia's western suburbs and beyond.

Mediterranean Heritage
​​
Levante (leh-von-tay) is the Italian word meaning "to rise up", or the east -- the point on the horizon where the sun rises. The Riviera di Levante is a beautiful coastal region north of Tuscany that is rich in maritime history, amazing food, and that coveted laid-back Italian culture. This term is significant to us first because of our Italian and Mediterranean heritage, but also because we believe that the journey is just as important as the destination.
Just as a fine Italian wine is produced in the heart of Tuscany, each specialty beer at Levante is brewed with only the finest ingredients, giving you a product that cannot be duplicated by larger breweries. Levante is crafted the way it is so that we all can relax and take the time to really enjoy our beer experience.
