Otto's Pub & Brewery

Otto's Pub & Brewery is a brewpub in State College, Pennsylvania, USA. It first opened in 2002 and has been at its current location since 2010. It is located approximately three miles from the main campus of the Pennsylvania State University.

History

Otto's was opened in October 2002 by Charlie Schnable,[1] previously the brewmaster of Williamsport's Bullfrog Brewery, and Derek Duffee, roommates when they were undergraduates at Penn State. Schnable managed the microbrewery operations, while Duffee handled all of the restaurant operations. Duffee eventually sold his portion of Otto's.

In 2005, Roger Garthwaite became a partner in the business. In November 2010, Otto's Pub and Brewery moved down the street to 2235 N. Atherton Street, a block away from its former location. The new space, previously a Quaker Steak & Lube restaurant, provided additional parking, more seating and a larger brewery. The new location also provided space for a full bar.

Many of Otto's beers are named after local Central Pennsylvania attractions. In-house beverage production has long included a root beer soft drink in addition to the microbrew selection.
