Blue Collar Born & Brewed.
Big Rail is a nickname for 155-pound and 152-pound rail — made incredibly strong to handle the immense weight of ore and coal carried through Pennsylvania’s old-growth forests, across her mighty rivers, and over her foreboding mountains. Likewise, Big Rail Brewing was forged in the wilds of Pennsylvania, and we brew our beer to honor all of the unseen blue collar tradespeople who hold up the immense weight of modern civilization.

We Are Independent
Big Rail Brewing is a 100% independently-owned craft brewery. (What does that mean?)
What’s more, we’re not just the owners… we’re also the founders, brewers and operators.
As natives of western Pennsylvania, we decided long ago that we wouldn’t build our brewery anywhere else.
So when you support us, you’re also supporting our region, rather than lining the pockets of someone you’ll never meet.
