The Referend Bier Blendery - KUTZTOWN

Rustic farmhouse blendery producing fantastic barrel aged sour ales

Stopped here on spur of the moment on a trip. If you’re into unusual, sour, fermented, and wild beer this is the place for you. If you strictly like IPAs, they may now have some guest taps for you. But really, take a chance and try some of the main offerings! Super cool tasting room, very friendly host, great conversation and some backstory on the brewery. I’m about an hour and a half away but I’ll be back to try some more.

A one-of-a-kind gem for unique libations! Unconventional brewing techniques, adventurous flavors, and a rustic atmosphere are sure to please. We tried two beers and a wine and loved every drop! Melissa made us feel right at home and answered all of our questions about the processes they use to brew. The Referend is a great addition to the area!

AH! Such a beautiful new location in Kutztown, PA. Right now, it's members only worth every penny for a plethora of spontaneously fermented beers, each unique in it's own way. I haven't had a single beer from Referend that I didn't like. The owners are incredibly kind, the type of people you would...well, want to have a beer with. They have an incredible selection of brews, and this historic farmstead is sure to provide many more years of tasty beers and entertainment, with plans to utilize the property's vineyard and fruit trees to amplify their already fantastic brews. As mentioned by Alan G., parking will be the only concern. I'm sure this will be mitigated as they settle in, and while there is a limited number of onsite spots, the side street of the property is free public parking. We'll be back, if for no other reason to collect our membership bottles. We're super happy to see Referend move to PA, and I can't wait for them to open to the public!

This place is disappointing. The bartenders are not attentive, and the beer leaves much to be desired. It aims to be like lambic but lacks the depth and complexity that good lambic should have. I won't be coming back.
