Operating less than 10 miles outside of Philly, Prism Brewing is as hometown as you can get. In fact, our name Prism is derived from the now defunct Philly based TV channel; in part to pay homage to our roots as well as to the owner’s previous career working in TV & Film. The creativity nurtured from that experience shows in the beers we brew today as does the anti-establishment nature of his favorite band, Pink Floyd. We treat beer like a chef treats food in that you will only find us using whole, natural and fresh products to create balanced flavorful ales. This means we do not use any extract flavors or even purees. This is how we achieve more palatable balanced flavors that provide you with diverse tastes, ranging from subtle to bold, but always balanced from the use of these whole natural ingredients, sourced fresh and as close to home as possible. We use no preservatives or finings and leave it unfiltered to keep our flavors fresh. After all, beer is food, so let’s make it flavorful!

When deciding on how we would package our beer we thought about a few things. First, we liked that cans provide a light tight environment which reduces ‘skunking’ by keeping UV light away from the isohumulones in the hops. But cans have bisphenol-A (BPA for short) and we do everything we can to avoid anything man made from coming into contact with our beer.

That’s when we found a company willing to try something new. Working with our supplier, we created the first 6-pack fully enclosed box in the US. This provides with light tight packaging and helps us reduce our paper waste because we do not use a ‘mother carton’ to put our 6-packs in. Instead we have a custom cut tray that reduces waste and is gentler on the environment.

Another first from Prism!
