MEADVILLE, Pa. — Voodoo Brewing Co. is raising a glass to National Beer Day on April 7 by spotlighting new beer releases, fan-favorite brews and the elevated food and community experience that sets it apart. 

Voodoo has built its reputation on pushing the boundaries of craft beer while expanding into a full-service restaurant concept, and the brand is using the holiday to highlight both its brewing approach and its focus on quality across the guest experience.

“At Voodoo, the beer is still very important to us — it always will be — but as we’ve grown, it’s become more about creating a full experience centered around food, community and quality,” said Andrew Volanski, senior director of operations. “We wanted to take what is normal bar food and take it up a notch, and everything we do reflects that.”

For National Beer Day, Voodoo Brewing is highlighting two key releases: Midnight Silhouette, a brand-new porter, and the return of Crick Crusher, an American wheat beer designed to be light, refreshing and highly drinkable.

“We have two new beers coming out. One is a porter called Midnight Silhouette, which is a brand-new beer, and then we’re bringing back Crick Crusher, an American wheat,” said Jake Hornick, director of operations and quality manager at Voodoo Brewing Co. “That series is really geared toward light, drinkable, sessionable beers that you would enjoy floating down the creek.”

The new brews are part of Voodoo’s well-balanced portfolio, which includes bold options as well as approachable beers that appeal to a wide range of drinkers. Whether it’s a lighter beer at 4% ABV or an 8% hazy IPA, there’s something for everyone. 

The brand’s portfolio includes standout staples like its famous green-colored Lacto-Kooler, a flavor-packed sour that helped put the brand on the map, and Good Vibes, a balanced IPA that remains a go-to for guests.

Beyond brewing, Voodoo continues to differentiate itself through its food-first approach and commitment to quality ingredients. House-made sauces and dressings, hand-cut fries and the use of beef tallow instead of seed oils are a few ways that the brand emphasizes transparency and scratch-made preparation across its kitchens.

“Nothing is coming frozen out of a bag,” Volanski said. “There are people in our kitchens preparing everything before we open each day, and we’re very transparent about what goes into our food.”

As a growing franchise system, Voodoo Brewing blends consistency with local creativity by offering a core menu alongside location-specific “local flair” items.

“We’re not naive enough to think we know what every market wants,” Volanski said. “We give our franchise owners the ability to showcase what’s important to their community and let their chefs be creative.”

On National Beer Day, several individual locations are expected to introduce their own specials or pairings that reflect local flavors while celebrating the holiday.

Whether guests are trying a new seasonal release, enjoying a fan-favorite brew or gathering with friends over scratch-made food, Voodoo Brewing Co. is inviting guests across the country to celebrate National Beer Day together, with great beer, scratch-made food and community at the center.
