February 25, 2005 - Appalachian Brewery Creates "Abbey Bar" on Second Floor
Appalachian Brewing Company is putting the finishing touches on a completely revamped second floor at its Harrisburg brewery and restaurant, converting the long-time sports pub there to a sparkling new Belgian beer bar.

Named The Abbey at ABC, the pub is modeled on the popular SteelGaarden in the basement of Bethlehem Brew Works in Bethlehem, according to Artie Tafoya, Appalachian's brewmaster and director of operations.

"I know the Fegley family very well," Tafoya explained, "and have seen the success they had with their pub. We followed their plan almost to a tee. As part of the change-over, we've moved the bar, redone the entire color scheme and put in a really cool digital music system."

The bar has 14 taps and will feature a 50-bottle selection of Belgian brews, Tafoya said.
