Rendering of Voorhees Iron Hill
Michael Klein confirms that Ardmore will be getting an Iron Hill Brewery to call its own. It will be location number eleven for the brew pub chain which has been reliably opening a location a year.
The location will be in a former carpet store in the Ardmore Plaza at 44 Greenfield Avenue, next to the recently opened Beer Shoppe.
The Ardmore Iron Hill is looking to open in 2014. The Voorhees location is set to open in early 2013.

Trey Popp’s second review in the December issue of Philadelphia magazine is of Forest & Main. Popp finds that the Ambler brew pub might not be perfect but it’s just right. And the beers sound worth the trip as well.
Endicott learned brewing at the University of Sunderland, near Newcastle, and it shows in ales that derive their personality more from bacteria and wild yeasts than high alcohol. My favorites were the Lunaire, a pitch-perfect Belgian sour fermented partly in old chardonnay barrels, and the Zaftig, a dark farmhouse ale with a buxom malt bill and slight barnyard funk. At four and five percent alcohol by volume, respectively, each was a refreshing departure from our high-gravity craft-brewing zeitgeist.

Yesterday Vault Brewing Company, the brewpub coming to Yardley in Bucks County, began brewing its first beer. The first beer to make it to the boil is their Belgian Blonde. According to the brewery the blonde ale will be a light, crisp, refreshing beer with some Belgian spiciness and fruity notes. Yesterday Vault made nine barrels of the stuff in preparation for their opening day which, if everything goes as planned, will be the week of September 24th. Read the rest of this entry »

Craig LaBan reviews Forest & Main Brewing Co., the Best of Philly winner for Best Brewpub, and finds the atypical brewpub is a step-up from the norm.
The fish and chips are especially notable, hand-battered in Palomino beer batter that is light and crisp, with fresh chunks of cod inside, and tartar sauce made with capers and cornichons. The rich cup of creamy corn soup touched with coriander and citrus was a hearty evocation of summer.

The ‘burbs are getting a much needed taste of Philly’s beer scene. Vault Brewing Company is set to open on Main Street in Yardley this fall, bringing craft brews, pizza, tapas, and jazz to the small town. An odd combination? Maybe, but that’s exactly what John and James Cain, the owners, are going for.

The Sports Business Journal has the details on the $70 million refurb for ten-year old Lincoln Financial Field. Of most interest to the Foobooz audience is the mention of a stand alone brew pub.
A brewpub, which would be a free-standing building, also is proposed for the HeadHouse Plaza, a 100,000-square-foot area outside the stadium now used for interactive zones and corporate tailgating before Eagles games, college football and other special events.
No mention of what brewery would run the brew pub but that won’t stop us from hoping that the Eagles keep it local.

Iron Hill Brewery has announced it will be opening at the Voorhees Town Center in New Jersey this winter. It will be the tenth location of the award winning chain and second in New Jersey.
It will be in a bit of a different location for the brew pub chain which has been drawn to main street in traditional small downtowns. Voorhees Town Center is a mixed-use property owned by Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT) and aims to be the down Voorhees has never had.
Like all the prior Iron Hill locations Philadelphia-based Sandvold Blanda Architecture + Interiors will design the 250-seat restaurant.

The long awaited Forest & Main Brewing Co. in Ambler officially opens this Friday but the brew pub has been softly opened this week. Located at the corner of Forest and Main, the pub is situated in a 1880s Victorian that has taken more than a year to restore. Downstairs is a bar and some tables. Upstairs features additional seating. And we just think it looks great, adorable even. The large front porch has us dying to sit down in a rocking chair and to enjoy a beer, or three.
Owners Daniel Endicott and Gerard Olson are brewing English session ales and Belgian farmhouse style beers. The menu is beer friendly with items like bacon popcorn, fish and chips and mussels.
If you’re city-bound, sample Forest and Main Kinch IPA at Kennett.
