The Lancaster Brewing Company is a brewery located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and produces premium malt-based beverages. Prior to the creation of the brewery's German-influenced lager, the city of Lancaster consumed mainly English-produced ales. Lancaster, Pennsylvania became known as a major producer of beer, even being dubbed the Munich of the United States. Eventually the company produced seventy percent of all ales and lagers in the U.S., thanks to the large number of British and German immigrants who lended their talents to the Lancaster Brewing Company.
The Lancaster Brewing Company also operates a restaurant called Walnut Street Grille at the Brewery. This restaurant used to be a tobacco warehouse. It now serves a variety of foods ranging from gourmet salads, Chicago-style deep dish pizza, babyback ribs, Maryland crabcakes, citrus-grilled salmon, gourmet soups, and lamb burgers.
