Happy Friday! This week the gang gets together to taste some delicious beers from Chatty Monks Brewing Company. A local favorite of ours, Chatty Monks is located on the hip West Reading Street of Penn Ave, right in the heart of Berks County. Chatty Monks offers a rotating tap of fresh new beers regularly as well as a tasty menu with many options. Their brewery on Penn Ave provides a nice welcoming cozy place to relax, enjoy a meal and try out some of their many brews. Beers are available on location or to go in crowlers or growler fills.

From their website, Chatty Monks gives a little history of how they came to be:
"It all started with Joe & Rob. Nearly every weekend, there they were, tasting every craft beer under the sun, along with a pint or twenty under the moon. And then they heard the calling from the sky (or perhaps from their empty glasses): “brew, and ye shall be blessed.” Not ones to ignore such powerful signs, they quickly set to work in their Beer Bunker (others might call it a kitchen), concocting their own tasty Belgian style ales.

By July of 2013, the Chatty Monks were receiving an abundance of requests to open a tasting room in the Wyomissing area. While this appeared to be quite a daunting task, they took the challenge upon themselves and, not surprisingly, owned it like the Chatty Monk Brethren that they are."

For us, Chatty Monks is a hometown favorite and we highly suggest checking them out. If you're ever in the Reading area and need a place to locally support, Chatty Monks is near the top of the list of places to go to. Let us know if you check them out or have been there before! We would love to hear what you think!
