About Sly Fox Brewing:
Sly Fox Brewing is a Pennsylvania-based, family-owned craft brewery founded in 1995 that is considered a pioneer of the craft beer movement in the Mid-Atlantic. The company is known for its wide selection of award-winning beers, innovative canning practices, and community events.
History and innovation
Family roots: Sly Fox
was started by the Giannopoulos family as a brewpub in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. The family-run business has since grown significantly, with Pete Giannopoulos’ son, Peter, taking over as president in 2021.
Pioneer of canned craft beer: In 2006, Sly Fox
became the first craft brewery in the Mid-Atlantic to install a canning line. The following year, its Pikeland Pils was the first canned craft beer to win a medal at the prestigious Great American Beer Festival.
360 can end: The brewery also led the way in 2013 by becoming the first in North America to use the innovative 360-degree can end, where the entire lid can be removed.
Expansion: After outgrowing its original facilities, Sly Fox
moved its main brewing operations to a larger production facility and tasting room in Pottstown, PA, in 2012.
