Brothers Wade and Drew Leedy say opening Fourscore Beer Co. on July 31 was the big payoff.

Five years of dreaming, planning, and clearing hurdles paved the way for the South Washington Street brewpub to open its doors.

“It started out of a love and appreciation for good beer,” says Drew, 40.

While the Leedy family name is synonymous with good pizza in Gettysburg—Drew and Wade’s grandfather opened Tommy’s Pizza in 1973—the family’s newest venture into brewing is history in the making.
