About Forbes Trail Brewing
Forbes Trail Brewing is the fruition of a long term dream. For owner Mike Fahy, it started like many brewers with a love of homebrewing in 2013. With the help of friends, homebrewing became an obsession and got the moniker "Bad Moon Brewing". Inventing new flavors and trying different styles became a passion that continued to grow.
After meeting now-wife, Kaitlin, in 2018, Mike ventured into commercial brewing at Whitehorse Brewing and Olde Bedford Brewing gaining invaluable knowledge in regards to the functions of a large brew system while Kaitlin learned taproom operations.
After those experiences, opening a brewery felt like it could become a reality but it never seemed like the right place or time. Then in the summer of 2021 a commercial building near Flight 93 & Patriot Park in Somerset County, PA became available. After several months of renovations and equipment purchases the brewery officially opened July 8th 2022.
It always takes a lot of work to get a business up and running so good friends and Bad Moon members, John & Ronna Maurizio, decided to come on board as partners. Kaitlin's parents, Brad & Kathy Smith, are also a part of the ownership team and help with the day-to-day business operations!
With the hard work and efforts of the owners, the location now has a warm and welcoming feel inside and a large outdoor space that will be very inviting to all patrons.
