The editorial take
The Abbey Bar is the brew pub for Appalachian Brewing Company, so the beer and spirits are made under the same roof. Flagship beers like Argyle IPA, Hoppy Trails, Jolly Scot, and Mountain Lager pour year-round on draft and in 12oz bottles, with seasonal specialties rotating through. Appalachian Spirits supplies a full house line—vodka, rye whiskey, gin, rum, agave, and reposado—available at the bar and for online pickup or delivery. The keg and case program extends the brewery's reach beyond the taproom.
- What should I order?
- Start with a flagship beer: Argyle IPA, Hoppy Trails, Jolly Scot, or Mountain Lager. If you want a spirit, the 6X Distilled Vodka is described as ultra-smooth and gluten-free, and the American Rye Whiskey, London Dry Gin, or Silver Agave Spirit are all part of the house Appalachian Spirits line.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who want to drink what the brewery makes rather than a broad guest list. The combination of year-round flagship beers and a house spirits line suits anyone comparing a brewery's own draft and distilled output in one place.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Abbey Bar is part of Appalachian Brewing Company, a Pennsylvania brewery that also produces its own Appalachian Spirits. That means flagship beers and a full house spirits line—vodka, whiskey, gin, rum, agave, and reposado—are available at the same location, with kegs and cases sold through the Brewery Direct program.
