Stickman Brews – Cheseter Springs

Stickman Brews

Stickman Brews was an independent craft brewery and restaurant located at 861 Kimberton Road in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. The Chester Springs location opened in 2018 as the brewery’s third location, expanding the brand beyond its original Royersford brewery and taproom. Stickman Brews was founded by Ethan Buckman and Kate Sorrento, who developed a down-to-earth approach to brewing that avoided pretentious branding while focusing on fresh, flavorful beer.

Stickman Brews was known for Belgian, British, German, and American-inspired beers, with a constantly changing selection of traditional and experimental styles. Popular offerings included Store Bought Is Fine double IPA, Déjà Vu All Over Again pale ale, and various farmhouse-style beers. The brewery also became recognized for its creative beer names and distinctive can artwork, reflecting its playful and unconventional personality.

The Chester Springs location combined Stickman’s beers with a casual pub-style dining experience. Guests could enjoy draft beer and packaged selections alongside comfort-food favorites, creating a relaxed setting for meals and social gatherings. The location’s position near the intersection of Routes 113 and 401 also made it a convenient stop for visitors exploring Chester County’s brewery scene.

Stickman Brews ultimately closed all operations on September 30, 2023, making the Chester Springs location a part of Pennsylvania’s craft brewing history. Its creative beer program, open-top fermentation approach, distinctive branding, and community presence left a memorable impression on local beer enthusiasts. For those researching former Pennsylvania Breweries, Stickman Brews remains a notable example of the region’s innovative independent brewing culture.
