Englewood Hershey Pauses Restaurant Operations for a Refresh: Reopens in 2025 with New Look and Menu

Englewood Hershey, the popular restaurant and music venue in Derry Township, has announced a temporary closure starting today. Located at 1219 West End Ave. in Hershey’s “vibrant” West End, the venue is pausing its restaurant services to undergo significant changes aimed at enhancing its dining experience.

(See: A Taste of The Englewood – Our Review Of The Englewood’s Opening Day)

Why Englewood Hershey is Closing: A Strategic Hiatus

Co-owner Rick Russell shared that this temporary closure is a strategic decision to “evolve” the restaurant into something more in line with their original vision. “Restaurants go through evolutionary periods, and we are experiencing that right now,” Russell explained. “We’re fortunate enough to be able to pause operations and make these changes.”

The plan is to keep the restaurant closed through the start of 2025, but the venue will remain open for private events, live concerts, and comedy nights during the interim. Brewing operations will also continue without interruption, ensuring that Englewood Hershey’s craft beers will still be available to guests.

A Reboot for Englewood Hershey: What Changes Are Coming?

Englewood Hershey originally opened its doors in 2020, housed in a historic barn, as part of a multimillion-dollar project. The establishment quickly became a staple in the Hershey area for its combination of great food, craft beer, and live music. But, according to Russell, the experience has drifted towards a more casual atmosphere than initially intended.

Russell and business partner Jeff Sharp, who operate under Loto Station, LLC, are committed to refining Englewood’s identity. The reboot will include changes to the dining room, a refreshed menu, and an overall more upscale vibe.

Russell emphasized that these updates are necessary to keep Englewood relevant in the fast-paced restaurant industry. “It’s a reboot, and I think it’s part of the evolutionary change of restaurants,” he said. “We want to make it stronger and more customer-focused.”

Englewood Hershey’s Brewing Continues – And So Does Roasting

Though the restaurant is on hiatus, guests can still visit Englewood Roasting Company. This establishment, located at the former Cocoa Beanery on the same property, will remain open with extended hours and an expanded lunch menu during the restaurant’s closure.

Past Closures and Challenges: Water Damage Issues

(See: The Englewood Re-Opens)

Englewood Hershey has had to close twice in the past due to water damage. In late December 2022, a cold snap caused pipes to burst, forcing a seven-week closure. A year prior, a faulty sprinkler system also flooded parts of the venue, resulting in a temporary shutdown. Despite these setbacks, Russell and his team remain committed to ensuring the long-term success of the venue.

Republican Rally at The Beerded Goat

Democratic U.S. Senator Bob Casey from Pennsylvania has called for a series of debates with his Republican opponent, David McCormick, in the lead-up to the November general election. McCormick has agreed to the proposal.

The upcoming Senate race in this key battleground state is expected to be one of the most expensive, with outcomes that could influence the balance of power in the Senate.

Casey proposed that the debates take place in the fall, with one debate each in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg before the November 5 election. He cited Pennsylvania’s strong tradition of political debates as his reason for the proposal. McCormick, responding at a campaign event, expressed support for the debates as a valuable opportunity for the candidates to present their platforms to voters.

Both candidates had no competitors in their respective parties’ primaries this past Tuesday, setting the stage for a direct contest over the next six months.

The tradition of televised presidential debates has seen a decline, with their effectiveness as a platform for voter evaluation being questioned. However, the proposed three debates for the Pennsylvania Senate race would be the most significant since 2006 when Casey and then-GOP Senator Rick Santorum held four debates.

The likelihood of a debate in this year’s presidential race is iffy — and the time-honored tradition of televised debates as a forum for voters to evaluate candidates has declined in recent years.

The San Diego Union-Tribune

Historically, debates have been less frequent in recent Pennsylvania Senate races, with only a few taking place close to election time. For instance, in the 2022 Senate race, Democratic nominee John Fetterman participated in just one debate while recovering from a severe stroke, which impaired his speech and auditory processing abilities. His Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, had aggressively pressed for more debates, questioning the extent of Fetterman’s health issues.

Additionally, the 2022 Pennsylvania gubernatorial race saw no debates between Democrat Josh Shapiro and Republican Doug Mastriano. Mastriano opted out of a traditional media-moderated debate, instead hosting an event with a partisan moderator, a former Trump administration staffer, just two weeks before the election.

The Rally at The Beerded Goat

As we announced on our site on April 17th – Dave McCormick to rally with statewide Republican candidates in Dauphin County at The Beerded Goat – a Republican rally was held today at The Beerded Goat; Union Station – just outside of Harrisburg, PA.

Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Dave McCormick is set to join forces with other statewide candidates for a rally in Dauphin County next week.

Craft Beer Sales Are Starting to Go Flat

The Craft Beer Conundrum: Navigating the Troubled Waters of the Craft Beer Industry

The craft beer industry, once a beacon of innovation and camaraderie, is navigating through its most challenging era. A perfect storm of economic pressures, changing consumer behaviors, and internal industry dynamics has led to a state of uncertainty. This blog post delves into the multifaceted troubles facing the craft beer sector and explores potential paths forward for these beloved breweries.

The Hurdles on the Horizon

Economic Pressures: The economic landscape for craft brewers has become increasingly perilous. Rising costs of raw materials, such as hops and barley, coupled with the inflationary pressures on equipment and utilities, have squeezed margins to their breaking point. Additionally, the craft beer market is not immune to the broader economic downturns, which can dampen consumer spending on premium beverage options.

Market Saturation: The explosive growth of craft breweries over the past decade has been a double-edged sword. While it has led to a rich diversity of options for consumers, it has also resulted in a crowded marketplace. With over 9,000 craft breweries in the United States alone, according to the Brewers Association, competition for tap and shelf space has become fierce, making it difficult for smaller operations to gain or maintain visibility.

Changing Consumer Trends: The preferences of beer drinkers are in constant flux, and staying ahead of these trends is a monumental task. The recent surge in interest in hard seltzers, low-calorie, and non-alcoholic options has diverted attention and market share away from traditional craft beer offerings. Additionally, younger consumers are increasingly drawn to novel experiences and flavors, pushing brewers towards a never-ending cycle of innovation, which can be both costly and risky.

Distribution Challenges: For many small to mid-sized craft breweries, the distribution landscape presents a significant barrier to growth. The three-tier distribution system in the U.S., while beneficial in some respects, can also limit a brewery’s ability to expand its reach. Furthermore, the dominance of large beverage conglomerates within this system can stifle the visibility of craft brands on a national or global scale.

Charting a Course Through Troubled Waters

Is the craft beer bubble bursting?

Despite these challenges, all is not lost for the craft beer industry. There are several strategies that breweries can adopt to navigate through these turbulent times:

Innovation with Intent: While innovation is key to capturing consumer interest, breweries must approach it with a strategic mindset. This means not just chasing trends but creating unique, high-quality products that align with their brand identity and values. Collaborations with other breweries or local businesses can also offer new and exciting products to consumers while sharing the burden of innovation.

Community Engagement: Craft breweries have always been more than just places to drink beer; they are community hubs. Strengthening ties with local communities through events, partnerships, and sustainability initiatives can enhance brand loyalty and create a dedicated customer base that values more than just the product.

Diversification: Expanding product lines to include options like non-alcoholic beers, hard seltzers, or even craft spirits can help breweries tap into new markets and consumer segments. Additionally, exploring alternative revenue streams, such as merchandise, subscription services, or on-site experiences, can provide financial cushioning.

Lean Operations: In times of economic uncertainty, operational efficiency becomes paramount. Breweries can look into more sustainable practices, not only as a cost-saving measure but also as a marketing point, given the growing consumer interest in sustainable and ethically produced goods.

The Craft Beer Community’s Collective Strength

The craft beer industry’s greatest asset in these challenging times is its sense of community and shared passion. By supporting one another through collaborations and shared resources, and by engaging actively with their local and global communities, craft breweries can weather this storm. The path ahead is undoubtedly fraught with challenges, but the craft beer industry is no stranger to overcoming obstacles. Through resilience, innovation, and community engagement, the craft beer industry can emerge from these troubled waters stronger and more unified than ever.

Closings vs Openings

By one report – in Pennsylvania – 26 breweries opened in 2023, where as 23 closed. Some are listing 43 locations opening; but this would include side projects, tap rooms, and “Fresh Market Pop Ups” and similar spaces. We detailed all the breweries in Pennsylvania that opened in 2023 here: Breweries that Opened in Pennsylvania in 2023. We are working on more articles discussing the current economic issues facing craft breweries in Pennsylvania, and the United States as a greater whole; as well as things like craft beer recession, what the outlook for 2024 is, is the craft beer bubble bursting, etc. Stay tuned for these articles and more.

Craft Beer Trends for 2024

As craft beer enthusiasts, we are constantly on the lookout for what’s next in the vibrant world of brewing. This year, we’ve seen brewers push the boundaries of creativity and innovation, bringing forward bold flavors, sustainable practices, and surprising collaborations that have captivated our taste buds. Here are the top craft beer trends to watch in 2024.

1. Rise of Non-Alcoholic Craft Beers

Non-alcoholic (NA) beers have been gaining traction over the past few years, and 2024 is poised to see an explosion of options in this category. Brewers are perfecting techniques to brew NA beers that retain the complexity and depth of their alcoholic counterparts. From hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, alcohol-free no longer means flavor-free. This trend caters not only to health-conscious drinkers but also to those looking to enjoy beer flavors at any time of the day without the effects of alcohol.

2. Local and Hyper-Local Ingredients

Sustainability continues to be a key focus, and more breweries are turning to local and hyper-local sourcing for their ingredients. This practice supports local economies and reduces the environmental impact associated with transportation. Expect to see more beers proudly advertising their use of local grains, hops, and adjuncts like fruits and herbs, which can also provide unique, regional flavors that set these brews apart from the pack.

3. Experimental and Hybrid Styles

Brewers are not just sticking to traditional styles; they are increasingly experimenting with hybrid beers that blend the lines between established beer categories. Think lagers with ale-like hopping levels, or stouts brewed with wild yeast strains typically used in sour beers. This experimentation is also seeing the rise of ‘fusion beers’ that incorporate elements from different brewing traditions, culinary techniques, or even other beverages like cocktails and wines.

4. Revival of Historical Styles

While innovation is key, there is also a growing interest in historical beer styles that had previously fallen out of favor. Styles like Gruit, made with herbs instead of hops, or traditional farmhouse ales from various European regions, are making a comeback. These beers offer a glimpse into the past and celebrate the rich history of brewing.

5. Craft Maltsters on the Rise

As craft brewers look to distinguish their offerings, there is an increasing focus on the role of malt in flavor profiles. Craft maltsters are popping up, offering malts that are not only locally sourced but also crafted to provide unique colors, flavors, and aromas. This trend is pushing brewers to explore new malt varieties and push the envelope on what malt can contribute to beer beyond the basic foundation.

6. Sour Beers Continue to Sour… and Evolve

The sour beer category continues to expand, with more nuanced and complex sour offerings hitting the market. Brewers are moving beyond basic kettle sours into more sophisticated fermentation techniques, including mixed fermentation and the use of wood aging to introduce deeper flavors. Additionally, the use of non-traditional fruits, spices, and even vegetables in sour beers is on the rise, creating endless possibilities for innovation.

7. Eco-Friendly Brewing

Finally, sustainability isn’t just about local sourcing. Breweries are increasingly adopting eco-friendly practices across their operations, from solar-powered breweries to water reclamation and waste reduction techniques. Consumers are more conscious than ever about their environmental impact, and supporting breweries that share these values is becoming a significant factor in purchasing decisions.

As we continue through 2024, these trends suggest that the craft beer industry will remain as dynamic and exciting as ever. Whether you’re a brewer or a beer lover, there’s much to look forward to—new flavors, old classics revisited, and innovative practices that make us proud to be part of this community. Here’s to another year of great beer and great company! Cheers!

]]> 14810 New Years Day https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/12/31/new-years-day/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-years-day Sun, 31 Dec 2023 05:05:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=13454 New Years Day

Ok, my Pennsylvania Dutch is about to come out a little bit.  Pork and Sauerkraut on New Year’s Day is a tradition in my family.  Served with mashed potatoes of course!  I know, I know, sometimes the sauerkraut isn’t so pleasant.  My mom perfected the recipe to take out quite a bit of the tartness and sourness.  We always cut up an apple to put in the sauerkraut, to give it a little sweetness.  Also sautéing some onions and searing the pork in the sautéed onions.  Mix those sautéed onions in with the sauerkraut.

Then roast the pork in the sauerkraut to cook it through in the oven.

I’m at a bit of a cross roads when it comes to pairing a beer with this yearly meal.  I think a very malty and sweet hefeweizen will pair nicely with the palate cleansing of the sauerkraut.  I’d reach for a Level Up Hefeweizen by Idiom Brewing Company.  Level Up comes in at a 3.79 overall rating on untapped.  It has a 5.6% ABV, just like a good Hefeweizen should!  It is described on Untapped as “Brewed with 60% malted white wheat and a touch of honey malt, then fermented to provide a balanced profile that sits squarely between clove and banana.  Super smooth, super creamy with a bready finish and light bitterness”

When you are enjoying that pork and sauerkraut dinner pair it with a hefeweizen if you are still afraid of the sour or tartness of the sauerkraut. Then when I go for seconds I will pair it with a good sturdy stout.  A strong stout is usually what you would reach for to compliment a nice pork dinner.  I’d grab a Wookies and Cream Oatmeal stout from Tall Tails Brewing Company.

Wookies and Cream comes in on Untapped with a 3.77 overall rating.  It has a 6.11% ABV and is given a rather.  This stout is so smooth it is dangerous.  It will go down even smoother with a delicious pork dinner.  

  • Happy New Year!
  • Drink More Beer!
