New Brewery, Cheesesteak Joint Nearing Opening In Phoenixville

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — The newest addition to Phoenixville's ever-expanding brewery scene is nearly ready to open, and there will be some tasty bites just steps away.

Twelve78 Brewing Company is setting up shop right at the entrance to town coming from the Mont Clare Bridge, on 35 Bridge Street. Construction has been under way for some time and organizers are hopeful they'll be open by the end of March.

Once open, the famous cheesesteak food truck, Gazzo's, will move from Pottstown to a spot next to the brewery.

The brewery is the creation of Steve and Kara Rogacki, Phoenixville locals who have been brewing for years and who have drawn rave reviews in homebrew competitions, according to Breweries in PA.

They have been posting daily updates on their social channels as they continue to remodel their new space, which is located in the former garage that was Stillman's rentals, backing up to Ashland Street. The location is a short walk away from the riverfront and the Schuylkill River Trail.

Their menu is already up and running, and they've continued to offer limited release can nights to a devoted following in the lead up to their official opening. Menu highlights include a wheat beer and a lager, two New England IPAs, a porter, and wilder options like a blackberry milkshake IPA and a bourbon aged cream ale.
