Iron Hill Hershey, PA Location Now Open

Today is the day! On Nov 19, 2018, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant’s 16th location has finally arrived. Why is THAT so exciting to us? Well, it’s a relatively short drive for us compared to their other locations in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and South Carolina. The newest Iron Hill is located at 101 W. Chocolate Avenue at the recently completed Hershey Towne Square in Hershey, PA. As you may recall, we’ve been to the Lancaster, PA and Ardmore, PA locations. Great food and well crafted beers are everything that Iron Hill is about.

READ ABOUT OUR ARDMORE VISIT

We took a sneak peek of the new 9,000 square-foot Iron Hill Hershey restaurant and brewery. Between the dining room, bar and outdoor patio, there’s about 290 seats for guests. The bar is simply massive and glorious. Lots of natural light streams in from the floor to ceiling windows while you watch the hustle and bustle of folks walking around and exploring the many Hershey Towne Square shops and restaurants.

The Food

Everything we’ve tried over our many visits to Iron Hill establishments is delicious. Really there’s something for everyone whether you crave a juicy bacon cheeseburger, shareable snacks, fresh salads or a full blown entree. How about we just show you some pictures and cut the chatter…

The Beer

While Iron Hill is known for their ability to craft world-class lagers and stouts, there are also some experimental and trendy beer styles being brewed as well. During the preview, we tried all of the IPAs and were pleasantly surprised. Not all breweries can pull off the style well. And, especially those complex NEIPAs that are oh so popular right now can be hit or miss. Here’s where we tell you to definitely give Iron Hill’s IPAs a try! Chewie IPA is killer. On point with the New England IPA style. Money, Cash, Hops Double IPA and Lap Bar IPA were quite nice as well.

Not sure what might appeal to you? No worries. Opt for a flight of small pours to explore and discover your next favorite.

Pick up some cans for the upcoming holidays to share with family and friends. Iron Hill’s award-winning Russian Imperial Stout is always a good choice. It’s a “full-bodied stout that starts with a complex, malty sweet and high-roasted character that is wonderfully balanced with the use of citrusy American hops.” Or perhaps you’d like the festive Reindeer’s Revenge American Tripel which is an “American-style Belgian golden ale with complex aromas and flavors of grapefruit, spice and banana with a refreshing hop bitterness.”

The On-site Brewery

Fresh is best! Iron Hill Hershey has an on-site brewery with the capacity to produce approximately 900 barrels of craft beer annually. While not all of the beer served on tap is brewed at this location, a lot of it is. There are a few selections that are even exclusive to the Iron Hill Hershey brewery. Rest assured, there will always be a beer with chocolate notes on tap. Mmmm!

Derek Testerman is the brewer for Iron Hill Hershey. Derek has brewed at multiple Iron Hill locations over the past 9 years. He even brewed for 4 years on the West Coast in California diversifying his skills and has a degree from the American Brewers Guild in Vermont. It’s safe to say the beer here is in very good hands.
