Watching this space come to life from our vantage point has been a reminder of how lucky we are to live, work, and build a business in the heart of such a vibrant downtown. State College is full of people who care deeply about this community, and it’s exciting to see what can happen when those people come together to make an already great place even better.

There will be no trivia tonight as the East End of downtown officially celebrates the ribbon cutting and launch of East End Social, right outside our doors. It’s been incredible watching this space come to life, and we feel so lucky to be right in the middle of it.

Come join the community celebration this evening on the 100 block of Hiester Street. Ribbon cutting begins at 5 PM, followed by live music, block party energy, craft beverages, and a chance to experience what makes downtown State College so special.

A gentle reminder that due to open container laws, beverages purchased at The Press must remain within our licensed seating areas and cannot be carried out into the street festival area.

We’re so thankful to be part of such a forward-thinking and community-driven downtown. See you tonight 🍻

Our leading lady and PA Cider Guild board member, Morgan, was recently interviewed regarding our taproom, The Press and how it all started ⬇️

We were genuinely surprised and delighted to learn that The Press made the Centre County Favorites ballot this year.

As a new small business, being included alongside so many established local favorites means the world to us. Every person who has stopped in, brought friends, shared a post, attended an event, or simply told someone about us has helped make this possible.

Voting is open now through June 5, and you can vote once per day. If you’ve enjoyed your time at The Press, we’d be honored to have your vote.
