Voodoo Brewery

Break the Mold, Get Away From the Grind

About Us

Voodoo Brewery. Even the name is mysterious. How did we get it? We’ll never tell. What we will say is that we’re a band of brothers (and sisters, and brothers-from-another-mother) united by a common, glorious purpose: to bring our bold, innovative barrel-aged beers and eclectic, locally-curated pub food menu to fans everywhere.

Our love for the liquid we brew and our commitment to quality and attention to detail is evident in every sip. Our Brew Master, Curt Rachocki, and his team do all the heavy lifting as far as the actual brewing is concerned, but we firmly believe that every single team member and Franchise Partner in our wild and crazy tribe directly contributes to our success and makes us the outstanding craft brewery we are.

After much success with brewpubs across Pennsylvania, we’re now franchising the Voodoo Brewery concept in cities all over the country- but we’ll never be a run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter pub chain. We don’t just want you to “franchise” with us- we want you in our tribe!

Why Us

How many more lookalike beer franchise locations are we going to put on this planet? Voodoo Brewery is shattering the status quo and humanizing one of our great nation’s favorite pastimes: drinking beer! What started as a simple brewing operation and pub in Meadville, PA has evolved into one of the top-rated breweries in the country, and now we’re taking our laid-back pub atmosphere, our delicious eats, and- of course- the liquid to cities all over the U.S. of A. So, what makes us so different from the rest?

• We Brew It, You Move It: Be the hometown hero who brings some of the most reputable beers on the planet to your neck of the woods (all without brewing a single keg yourself)
• The "Anti-Franchise" Pub Franchise: A solid opportunity for those who don't live by corporate rules, but like that little safety net that comes with being a part of a larger organization.
• Tight Operations: Our European beer hall design lets you operate on a lean staff of 6 people or less, which translates to fewer headaches (and more profit)
• Local Beer God: Having FUN and making people happy? All in a day's work

Training and Support

Over the last 10 years, we’ve learned how to create some of the best beers on the planet. We’ve also learned how to fill pubs with new customers, who soon become brand loyalists.
