Barrels Bourbon & Bugs… Chestnut Hill Addition

About four years ago as the Head Brewer in Maple Shade I started this event.  It’s turned out to be one of the biggest multi-tap events that Iron Hill does (the third biggest in the company in fact).  Barrel-aged beers are really sought after these days so to have 12 of them on tap at [...]

Beer & Chocolate Night

I first met Chris Curtin of Éclat when he set up shop in West Chester back in 2004.  Iron Hill and Éclat shared a PR agent and she told me I should go by and introduce myself.  “He’s a really nice guy and he LOVES beer” she said.  When I did introduce myself I learned [...]

OK, Here’s my Ice Bucket Challenge…

Just thought I’d share my ice bucket challenge for those of you who haven’t seen it yet.  (And yes, I did donate!) If you got a kick out of this, please feel free to donate at The Angel Fund or The ALS Association. Cheers, Chris

Congratulations Kelly! We’re taking you to Denver!

Yesterday we closed the restaurant and invited the entire staff (that’s from every Iron Hill location) to Dorney Park for our annual “GABF Party”.  Being in the hospitality business, it’s not easy for us to throw our folks a holiday party the way many offices do, so we show our appreciation in the summertime.  In [...]

We’re closed today!

All Iron Hill locations will be closed today so we can bring our staff to Dorney Park!  It’s their well-deserved annual party.  It’s also when we find out who from each location will go to the Great American Beer Festival ON US!  See you Tuesday!

Anyone like IPAs?

Everyone does it seems.  When I first came to Maple Shade I couldn’t believe how much of it you all drank.  I thought then that there was something magical about Burlington County that made people crave hops.  It turns out though, that 2009 just happened to be the start of a huge spike in IPA [...]

I’ve never heard of Garagista and have certainly never drank it.  But man do I love their advertising campaign.  This sums up the feeling most brewers have about the mania that surrounds those “ungettable” beers.  Good stuff, watch it when you can!

It’s Battleship Fest Time!

One of my favorites.  How often do you get to drink beer on the deck of an historic battleship?  It’s also pretty cool to go to a beer fest that features the beers of just one state.  And there’s been a LOT going on in our state lately.  You’ll get a chance to try some [...]

Saison Wood takes second Place at the Inquirer’s Brewvitational!

This is our third win at the Philadelphia Inquirer’s blind competition of local beers known as the Brewvitational.  And it’s the second win for an incarnation of our Saison.  The base Saison has done pretty well for itself as well, taking a gold medal at the 2008 Great American Beer Fest.  Since then I’ve been [...]
