Straub Brewery’s Eternal Tap
In the early days of the Eternal Tap, Straub Beer was served in tin cups. Today, glassware is used to serve up both Straub’s historical flagship brews and its evolving lineup of craft beers to the thousands of local, national, and international visitors.
About the Eternal Tap
Long before beer samplings were common everywhere, the most popular visitor’s site at Straub Brewery was the Eternal Tap, dating back to the early 1900s. The Brewery itself dates back seven generations to 1872 and is currently the third oldest brewery in the United States. Located near the brewing area, visitors can enjoy a complimentary taste of Straub Beer from multiple taps on the wall and from a stand alone tap system in the Eternal Tap area.
In the news
In a feature article about Straub Brewery for The Pittsburgh Press Sunday Magazine, journalist Bob Batz, Jr., wrote, “Another legend has to do with another kind of locally prized gold – beer – that is said to flow freely and forever, a la the Fountain of Youth, from something called ‘the Eternal Tap.’ Thirsty souls seek the tap near the center of St. Marys, and usually find it. The Eternal Tap is real.”
