The Pocono Brewing Company, also known as PBC, is coming back. And it may feature beers like Big Pocono and Grey Towers. The restaurant is reopening sometime in April under the new management of its owners after closing a year ago. It will spotlight Italian-American food offerings and a variety of on-site brewed beers in a family atmosphere. Silvio Vitiello of Tobyhanna bought the restaurant in 2014 after his Gilbert restaurant, Luna Rosa, in Polk Township, burned down. He then leased it out to a third party.
"The major issue with the other owners, they were doing nothing different," Vitiello said. "The food was the old diner food you could buy anywhere." The restaurant has undergone remodeling since last July. He's bringing in new equipment, including a new brewing system.
