Daily News | Ambler’s Forest & Main brewery expands beyond its namesake corner, opens second taproom
It’s been 10 years since Forest & Main Brewing Co. owners Daniel Endicott and Gerard Olson squeezed a 7-barrel brewhouse into an 1880s home a couple blocks off Ambler’s main drag.with locals, who flocked to the cozy taproom inside the Victorian house, overflowing onto the front porch and lawn, sipping barrel-aged saisons and British-inspired ales from the cask, nibbling on bacon-flavored popcorn and local cheese.
That’s how Forest & Main uprooted from its namesake corner last year, relocating its taproom to a former skate shop on on Butler Avenue last November. They redid the corner spot, adding painted signage and old tables and chairs to imbue it with an English pub feel. Brewing moved to a space further north on Main Street, where a second taproom opened late last month, featuring 20 taps plus local wine and spirits.
“We plan to be a part of Ambler, both with our business and our families, for many years,” Endicott said. “We felt very lucky to have found a building within the borough for our brewery expansion.” More beer means more sales. Forest & Main finally has enough spare liquid that it can ship direct to customers, a program it plans to launch later this month. It also started distributing in Rhode Island, New York, and Massachusetts. And it’s appearing more regularly on taps in the city, including at Martha, South Philly Tap Room, American Sardine Bar, Local 44, Clarkville, Lunar Inn, Wilder, Zig Zag BBQ, The International, Royal Izakaya, Bloomsday, and Middle Child Clubhouse.
