The result of a collective effort to build the ultimate light reconnaissance vehicle, the Jeep became the G.I.’s best friend during the Second World War and subsequent conflicts. It then morphed into an all-terrain conquering civilian vehicle, giving birth to an entirely new segment of 4WD machines.
Butler-based Recon Brewing opens a satellite location in Cranberry
Recon Brewing is on a mission to bring craft beer to Cranberry Township. So far, the operation’s been a success.
On April 14, the Butler-based company opened its long-awaited satellite location at 301 Tillary Lane in the Crossroads at Meeder, a new Charter Homes & Neighborhoods community.

The 3,000-square-foot restaurant and taproom, which overlooks a three-acre green space, has indoor and outdoor seating for 200. Twelve draft beers are available, including the Karma Tap; sales of the rotating brew benefit a different local charity each quarter.
Guests can also get a pint of the brewery’s flagship offering, BRC. The brew is an IPA named after the Bantam Reconnaissance Car, the first Jeep prototype, which was manufactured in Butler. The site also serves KingView cider, mead and wine, specialty cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. Four-packs of beer are available to go. Recon
