History
One of Philadelphia's best known beer makers, Brian O'Reilly spent the last chunk of his career turning a suburban brewpub into a regional powerhouse, with respected recipes and a broad portfolio. Awarded dozens of brewing awards including 10 Great American Beer Festival medals, O'Reilly has brewed and formulated hundreds of beer recipes over the years and now, he is excited to expand that portfolio at Mainstay. As a second act, Mainstay Independent is a creative dream for brewmaster Brian O'Reilly whose passion for creating authentic beer and original drinking experiences runs deep.

With an objective of creating and maintaining a portfolio of honestly balanced brews, Mainstay's independent approach to brewing is a salute to the origins of the craft brewing movement--when makers cared about quality more than creating a buzz.
