Located at 732 Hamilton St., the popular restaurant and beer garden will remain open during the transition.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">Bru Daddy\u2019s has recently expanded its distribution to 27 Pennsylvania counties and is now also manufacturing and packaging beverages for other companies.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">\u201cWe have a very good relationship with the Bru Daddy\u2019s team,\u201d said Kaitlin McCall, owner of McCall Collective. \u201cOur very first craft beer was a collaboration with them. We congratulate them on the growth of their craft beer distribution and appreciate them thinking of us as they look to transition out of the restaurant. The timing could not be better for us, as we have been looking to expand our beer production and our restaurant business to new locations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">\u201cAlthough we love our Allentown brewpub and will miss our customers, the demand for our beer has been growing, which requires us to focus on our core strength,\u201d said Rich Ryan, Bru Daddy\u2019s CEO. \u201cAs we build our manufacturing and distribution business, we can\u2019t think of a better successor for the brewpub. We have been working with Kaitlin and Chris since they launched and congratulate them on all their successes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">McCall will immediately start working with the Bru Daddy team on the transition, and the restaurant will remain open as Bru Daddy\u2019s until the scheduled September launch of McCall Collective on Hamilton Street. McCall Collective will continue to operate its original restaurant and brewery on Susquehanna Street in Allentown and will brew beer at both locations.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">\u201cWe are looking forward to meeting new customers and working on some new menu items. We plan to merge some of our most popular food items with theirs to create a unique menu,\u201d said Chris McCall, CFO. \u201cAt the same time, we will get ready to start brewing McCall\u2019s craft beers onsite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">For updates on opening information, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McCallCoBeer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">McCall Collective Brewing on social media<\/a> or visit <a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mccallcollectivebrewing.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiRjs6Eoo6VAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQwgE\">www.mccallcollectivebrewing.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bru Daddy\u2019s Brewing Co. and McCall Collective Brewing Co. announced today the transition of Bru Daddy\u2019s downtown Allentown&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":221346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120,96349,96350,96351],"class_list":["post-221345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-bru-daddys","tag-mcall-collective","tag-mcall-collective-bru-daddys"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
