September 21, 2026 · Allentown, PA Downtown Allentown just got a fresh pour across from PPL Center. McCall Collective Brewing has soft-opened at 732 Hamilton Street, the longtime home of Bru Daddy's, with wood-fired pizza, a beer garden, and the family-run brewery's own lineup ready for lunch and dinner downtown. McCall's third brick-and-mortar sits right on Hamilton Street at the old Bru Daddy's address. The space brings indoor seating, outdoor beer-garden vibes, private-event capacity, and a full food-and-drink menu that leans into wood-fired pizza alongside McCall beers, Pennsylvania wines, and spirits. It is an easy pre- or post-show stop when something is happening at PPL Center, and just as easy for a weeknight downtown hang. The brewery held a soft opening ahead of its September 17 public start, and larger grand-opening festivities are lined up for early October while outdoor construction finishes. Onsite brewing is expected to start later in October. Until then, the kitchen and taps are already welcoming guests. Check the downtown pages on McCall's site for current hours as the schedule expands toward seven days a week. Details and menus: mccallcollectivebrewing.com Female-owned and family-operated, McCall already runs production and hospitality on Susquehanna Street in Allentown plus a taphouse in Breinigsville. Adding a Hamilton Street restaurant-brewery puts their beer in the heart of downtown's walkable core. If you are mapping a Lehigh Valley beer day, this is the new pin to drop between arena nights, First Fridays, and a pizza-and-pint patio plan. Soft open now, bigger celebration early October. That is the kind of news we like to put first: a door you can walk through this week, with more reasons to return when the grand opening lands.
