Member Spotlight: The Proper Brewing Company

 
Where silent films reigned in the 1920s a bustling family owned and operated microbrewery invigorates Quakertown’s downtown.
 
Enjoy a Surf & Turf burger with aged sirloin, onions, crumbled bacon and shredded lobster, alongside a premise made glass of Gabi Wit beer or G’s Revenge.

The Proper Brewing Company, owned and operated by Brian and Kris Wilson, is the newest business venture to occupy the former Palace Theater, and it’s the latest addition to Quakertown’s restaurant line-up.

Onsite brewed beers with names like Blondie Bree and Panther Pale Ale are available as tasting flights, pints, growlers and bottles. 

The building has long been a Quakertown staple and before The Proper incarnation was occupied by family-owned and operated Dimmig Electric, a home appliance store which closed its doors in 2012.
 
Kris Wilson said living in Quakertown and raising children here were ideal reasons to open a business.
 
“We love the community so we thought it was the best place to start our family business,” Wilson said of settling The Proper in Quakertown. 
 
Giving back to a welcoming community of supportive local officials, community members and patrons means a lot to the Wilsons so they host community fundraisers and events.
 
“We will continue to give back as much as we can,” Wilson said of the couple’s commitment to Quakertown.
 
Continued economic vitality benefits everyone in downtown Quakertown, and Wilson said hosting events like a bike night, or bringing First Friday events to the downtown are on her to-do list.
 
But food and beer are the main attractions at The Proper Brewing Company.
 
Creating and maintaining a menu aimed at seasonal, sustainable fare is an evolving process, according to Wilson.
 
The new launch of spirits (hard liquor) at The Proper is targeted for August, although no other details were available.
 
Wines by the tasting flight and glass are also available at The Proper, as is a varied menu including snacks, pub fare and salads, inventive takes on classic sandwiches, burgers and more.

The Proper Brewing Company offers a dozen beers brewed on the premises, as well as banquet hall rentals and private party accomodations.
 
The Proper Brewing Company is located at 117 W. Broad Street, Quakertown.
