Straub Brewery
St. Marys, PA
Straub Brewery in St. Marys, PA, uses spring‑fed mountain water from the Laurel Run Reservoir in its brewing process that has remained largely the same since 1872. The water is mixed with cornflakes and malted barley, heated to produce wort, and then inspected for clarity and color in a copper vessel before hops are added and the mixture is boiled. After fermentation, the beer is aged, filtered, and carbon dioxide is injected to finish the product.
