Roy Pitz Brewing Company

Ryan Richards (Roy) and Jesse Rotz (Pitz), friends since the age of six, met each other in the 1st grade and grew up together in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Their journey lead the two from grade school to graduation from The Siebel Brewing Institute located in Chicago and Germany. It has been a friendship formed over 20 plus years. In 2008, Roy and Pitz jumped head first into the brewing business. They found a location in downtown Chambersburg, minutes from where they met and grew up. The pair soon amassed a collection of used brewing and dairy equipment, turning it into a frankenstein brewing system which would launch Roy Pitz Brewing Company. Since that time, Roy Pitz has grown and expanded. What began as a 7 BBL brew system and a small retail tasting room, has become an 8,500 sq. foot production brewery and pub. Now, with over 40 passionate employees, the company has expanded its production in Pennsylvania and now features a Barrel House located in Center City Philadelphia. Roy Pitz now brews, bottles and distributes over 20 varieties of their Liquid Art each year, many of which have been recognized with countless medals at The World Beer Championships.
