Stubborn Goat Brewing


At Stubborn Goat Brewing, we've created a space for everyone — families, friends, and neighbors — to connect over local brews, PA-made wine and spirits, delicious food, and an always-fresh lineup of live music and events. Whether you're here for a pint, a plate, or a laid-back outing with the kids, there's something for everyone at The Goat.

The Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce was proud to partner with Covenant Wealth Strategies as they celebrated the grand opening of their third location!


The celebration brought together community members, local leaders, and the Covenant Wealth Strategies team for an evening of celebration, connection, and conversation. Guests had the opportunity to meet the team, enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres and ice-cream, and tour the newest office.


We’re honored to celebrate this exciting milestone and Covenant’s continued commitment to serving families, business owners, and communities throughout Chester County and beyond. Congratulations to the entire Covenant team on this exciting new chapter!
