Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Set for September 13 Brookville has a proud brewing history dating back to the 1800s, when local breweries like the North Fork and Spring Brewery served the community. That tradition has been waiting to be revived… until now. After more than a century, Brookville once again has a hometown brewery. Please join us and raise a glass to Temerity Aleworks! The Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce will officially welcome Temerity Aleworks, located at 98 Service Center Road, Brookville, PA, with a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 3:50pm, followed by the official Grand Opening celebration at 4pm. Guests will enjoy food from Bill Yum’s Good Eats food truck and live acoustic music from Amanda James and Sean Hook. Temerity means excessive confidence or boldness; audacity, a fitting reflection of the founders’ approach to brewing. Temerity Aleworks embraces traditional European beer styles with fearless creativity, inviting the community to experience beer “the way it was intended.” Founders Kevin and Jamie focus on English, German, and Belgian traditions, brewing beer with uncompromising attention to detail and respect for the craft. Using water science, yeast selection, and time-honored fermentation techniques, they strive to present light, crisp ales and lagers to rich, robust porters and stouts, creating classic flavors that invite everyone, even those unsure about craft beer, to savor the artistry in every pour. At over 8,000 square feet, the brewery and taproom is designed to bring people together, not just to enjoy beer. From live music and events to indoor cornhole, a pinball arcade, and food trucks, Temerity Aleworks is creating a versatile space for the community to gather, connect, and celebrate. While the brewery does not serve food in-house, guests can enjoy a variety of local food trucks to ensure their visit offers something delicious to pair with their carefully crafted beers. “We want to represent traditional styles of beer and open conversations about craft brewing, even for people who think they don’t like craft beer,” said co-owner Jamie. “Our goal is to make Temerity Aleworks a place where everyone feels welcome.” The opening of Temerity Aleworks is more than just the launch of a new business. It marks the return of an important part of Brookville’s heritage, while also creating a vibrant destination for both locals and visitors. The brewery enhances the local economy, provides a new gathering place for the community, and helps put the Brookville area on the map for craft beer enthusiasts across the region.

In many ways, this is exactly what the Chamber’s mission is all about, connecting members inside and outside the community while supporting local businesses.

BBQ crews fire up their smokers to compete for a trophy and bragging rights. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Unique treats like ice cream, kettle corn, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and handmade goodies add even more flavor to the day. With a vibrant mix of vendors, you’ll find handmade crafts, unique shops, and lively booths that give the event its authentic hometown feel. There’s something happening around every corner, from kid-friendly activities like bounce houses, face painting, and games, to a show-stopping car cruise-in that draws auto enthusiasts from across the region. Live music keeps the energy buzzing well into the evening, making for an unforgettable day of entertainment. This year’s Brookville BBQ Bash will also feature Relay for Life of Jefferson County, honoring cancer survivors and their caregivers with a special gathering during the event. Visit their booth to purchase luminaria bags and play the crowd-favorite Human Slot Machine. The celebration kicks off with entertainment by John Cornman starting at 6pm, followed by a meaningful Survivor Ceremony and recognition at 7pm, complete with cake and ice cream! As dusk falls, gather for the moving Luminaria Ceremony—symbols of remembrance and hope. Stop by the beer tent, where we will be offering custom souvenir mugs for purchase that can be refilled throughout the day as you enjoy the festival. Craving something other than beer, Twisted Vine Winery will be at the BBQ Bash! Purchase a glass to sip while you stroll or a bottle to share with friends. Be sure to enter the Boatload of Beer raffle for a chance to win two brand new kayaks and more than a dozen cases of beer. Raffle tickets are $10 and available now through the Chamber office. At its core, the BBQ Bash is about connection, connecting people to each other, to great food, to small-town charm, and to the local businesses that keep our community thriving. Surrounded by historic charm and beautiful countryside, whether you’re a competitor, shopper, foodie, or just here for fun, you’ll feel right at home.

More Than Just a Good Time Each summer, the Jefferson County Fair brings families and friends together for a week of fun, food, and tradition. With popular grandstand events including demo derbies, tractor pulls, and rodeo along with classic carnival rides, live music, all of your favorite fair foods… it’s one of the summer highlights in Brookville, Pennsylvania. But behind the excitement and entertainment lies something even more meaningful — the fair’s deep agricultural roots and its ongoing support of 4-H and youth development. The Heart of It All: Agriculture and Youth The Jefferson County Fair began in the 1870s with a simple mission: to promote agriculture, community, and education. Over a century later, that mission continues through the hard work of local 4-H and FFA members who showcase livestock and agricultural projects each year. These dedicated young participants spend months raising and caring for animals — including cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and poultry — often before or after school and in all kinds of weather. Their responsibilities rival those of full-time farmers. The fair is the highlight of their hard work, where they showcase their efforts to judges, neighbors, and potential buyers. What is 4-H? 4-H is a nationwide youth development program rooted in hands-on learning, leadership, and community service. With project areas ranging from livestock and agriculture to science, cooking, and public speaking, 4-H empowers kids to become capable, confident leaders. At the Jefferson County Fair, 4-H members present their projects, explain their goals, and participate in friendly competition. It’s more than ribbons — it’s about building responsibility, communication skills, and self-confidence. Why It Matters Supporting 4-H and FFA at the fair isn’t just about applauding a show ring performance. It’s about investing in the future of our rural communities. These programs teach lifelong skills: how to manage time, work as a team, take pride in a job well done, and handle both success and failure with grace. When community members attend livestock shows or bid at the youth auction, they’re helping fund scholarships, next year’s projects, and the next generation of farmers, veterinarians, business owners, and leaders. Join Us The Jefferson County Fair is a celebration of where we’ve come from and where we’re going. While the rides, food, and grandstand events bring the crowds, it’s the barns — and the youth inside them — that represent the true heart of the fair. Make plans to attend this year’s fair, running July 13th–19th at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. Spend a little time in the show rings and livestock barns. Cheer for the kids. Ask questions. Support their work. Because while it’s fun to enjoy the fair from the Ferris wheel, it’s even better when you experience it from the ground up.
