Sadly, the Hanover brewery staple – Something Wicked Brewing has announced today via social media that they will be closing on September 6th, 2025. Located at 34 Broadway, Hanover, PA 17331, the craft brewery will be closing its doors for the last time on the 6th of September. A nod to Ray Bradbury (Something Wicked This Way Comes) Something Wicked Brewing has been a staple of Hanover for 10 years; opening their doors in June of 2015, with their soft opening in May of 2015.

Something Wicked Brewery

A Bittersweet Farewell from Something Wicked Brewing Co.

The following is Something Wicked Brewing Company’s announcement via Facebook:

After much reflection and with incredibly heavy hearts, we must share the news that Something Wicked Brewing Co. will be closing its doors. Our final pints will be poured on September 6th.
Just a few months ago, we proudly celebrated 10 incredible years of brewing craft beer, building friendships, and being part of the vibrant heartbeat of downtown Hanover. Over the past decade, we’ve had the honor of watching strangers become friends, and friends become family. We’ve shared laughter and tears, stories and songs, first dates and farewells — each moment leaving its mark on our hearts.
We had hoped to toast another ten years with you, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.
To our patrons and friends, our Sinners & Saints — thank you. You are the soul of Something Wicked. We wish we could name every one of you, but two very special people deserve a shout-out: Billy Miller and Spencer Shirk, thank you for being not just loyal patrons, but unwavering friends. You’ve been there for every event — from the wildest Bloody Mary Brunches to quiet weekday pours — and we are endlessly grateful.
To our amazing staff, thank you for pouring your hearts into every shift, every pint, every conversation. You made this place what it is. Special thanks to:
– Jon Sanders, for being the face of Something Wicked for so many years.
– Our talented brewers Matt Tharp, Jacob Auer, Bry Harvey, Wes Phebus, Adam Grim, and Josh Kinard, who crafted through the years the beers you’ve come to love.
Let’s Celebrate Together
As we begin winding down over the next five weeks, we invite you to celebrate “The Wicked Dog Days Pawlooza” with us this coming Saturday and join us for the final epic moments still to come. Let’s share more stories, more laughter, and raise a few more pints — together.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Hanover — for welcoming us, supporting us, and choosing us again and again. It has been our deepest honor to serve this community.
Here’s to the memories, the friendships, and the wickedly good times.
Cheers to you all, and thanks for the memories — The Something Wicked Family
🍺❤️
Something Wicked Brewing Company has been in business for 10 years in Hanover, and have truly helped make the local community the community that it is. Ming and I got to stop there in 2020 and loved the brewery, the food, and the location. They will be truly missed, not just in the local community, but in the greater craft beer community as a whole.

Emlenton Brew Haus Closes https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/11/20/emlenton-brew-haus-closes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=emlenton-brew-haus-closes Wed, 20 Nov 2024 23:30:21 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15732 Emlenton Brew Haus Closes: A Final Cheers to a Beloved Local Spot

Today, craft beer lovers in Western Pennsylvania were met with disappointing news: Emlenton Brew Haus has closed its doors permanently. In a heartfelt announcement on Facebook, the owners expressed their gratitude to the community, former staff, and loyal patrons who supported the Brew Haus over its 3 ½-year journey.

Emlenton Brew Haus’s social media post and announcement

A Bittersweet Farewell

“We are sad to announce that after 3 ½ years, the Emlenton Brew Haus will be closing effective immediately,” the post began. “The Brew Haus Owners, management, and staff would like to thank the community, and all of the prior staff for all the help and support during this adventure.”

The message struck a chord with customers, many of whom took to social media to share their memories and express their sadness.

“I am very sorry to hear this. Great food, beer, and hospitality. I would drive from Pittsburgh just to have your beers,” wrote Martin Smith. “This is just too bad, and Emlenton needs to try and develop the area more for tourists, like boat, kayak docks, etc.”

“Totally bummed to hear this,” commented Jim Ernst. “I loved stopping in for a beer or a bite to eat during my travels across PA.”

These heartfelt responses highlight how much the Brew Haus meant to locals and visitors alike.

Emlenton Brew Haus was located at 610 Main St, Emlenton, PA 16373.

A Hub of Craft Beer and Community

Since opening its doors, the Emlenton Brew Haus made a name for itself with its commitment to craft beer, locally sourced food, and family-friendly fun. Owned by the Garis and Page family, the brewery offered more than just beer—it provided unique experiences like refurbished duck-pin bowling lanes, shuffleboard, and a pool table. It was a space where the community could come together over shared meals and drinks.

The food, helmed by Chef Julie Terwilliger, a graduate of the Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts, featured fresh, Pennsylvania-sourced ingredients. Customers loved not only the brews but also the thought and care poured into every menu item. From the best old fashioneds in the state to beers crafted with local flair, the Brew Haus left an indelible mark on those who visited.

Why Did Emlenton Brew Haus Close?

While the owners haven’t elaborated on the reasons for the closure, location and accessibility may have played a role. Emlenton, a small town along the Allegheny River, boasts natural beauty and charm but can be challenging to reach for those outside the immediate area.

“This was a very cool place,” reflected Torie Neal. “It was just a little out of our driving range for frequent visits. My siblings and I all came right when it opened and really enjoyed the duck-pin bowling.”

A Loss for Emlenton

The closure is a poignant reminder of how difficult it can be for small businesses, even beloved ones, to thrive. The Brew Haus wasn’t just a business—it was a part of the Emlenton community.

“So sorry, guys,” wrote Meg Cratty Dreher. “Your addition to the town was a great, costly venture. It didn’t go unnoticed how much time and effort you put forth in trying to help better our town.”

As Emlenton Brew Haus closes its doors, locals and visitors alike are left with memories of good times, great beer, and the unique experiences it offered. The future of the building remains uncertain, but its impact on the town and the people who frequented it won’t soon be forgotten.

A Final Toast

While it’s sad to see the Brew Haus go, it’s important to celebrate what it brought to Emlenton—a vibrant space for craft beer enthusiasts, families, and friends to gather. To the Garis and Page family and everyone who made Emlenton Brew Haus what it was: thank you for the memories, the beer, and the joy you brought to the community.

The Mixing Room at Broken Goblet: A Brand-New Distillery and Taproom Are Here! https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/02/29/the-mixing-room-at-broken-goblet-a-brand-new-distillery-and-taproom-are-here/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-mixing-room-at-broken-goblet-a-brand-new-distillery-and-taproom-are-here Thu, 29 Feb 2024 16:52:12 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15809 The Mixing Room at Broken Goblet: A Brand-New Distillery and Taproom Are Here!

Big things are brewing (and distilling) over at Broken Goblet Brewing in Bensalem! If you’re a local craft beer fan, you’ve probably already sipped a pint or two at this beloved spot, but now there’s a whole new reason to visit: The Mixing Room – a brand-new distillery and taproom.

Broken Goblet, in collaboration with the Mutual Respect Brewery Collective (a name that screams local camaraderie), has truly upped the ante. They’ve transformed a once-abandoned space into something special: a 6,000-square-foot hub that’s part distillery, part taproom, and soon-to-be kitchen. And yes, it’s right next door to the original brewery.

A Bit of Background: From Dormant to Delightful

The space originally had a different future in mind. It was meant to house Key Spirits and a pizza restaurant until the pandemic threw a wrench in those plans. The property sat empty for years until Broken Goblet stepped in with their vision. Now, thanks to their hard work, The Mixing Room is alive, thriving, and serving up something for everyone.

This new space is part of the growing Mutual Respect Brewery Collective, which includes:

  • Broken Goblet Brewing
  • Trauger Brewing
  • Lucky Cat Brewing Company
  • CaféDilla
  • And a soon-to-be-revealed distilling brand (yes, the suspense is real!).

Inside The Mixing Room: Inviting and Intimate

Everything is made with Mutual Respect at Broken Goblet (photo courtesy of Broken Goblet)

So, what can you expect when you walk into The Mixing Room? Think cozy and chill vibes. The taproom offers a mix of seating options:

  • Low tables for laid-back hangs
  • High-tops for a group night out
  • Lounge couches for maximum comfort

With seating for about 75 people and a bar that fits 10, the space is designed to feel personal and relaxing. Whether you want to enjoy a beer in peace or catch up with friends away from the usual buzz of the main venue, this is your spot. As co-owner Mike Sweeney puts it, “This was an answer to the questions, ‘Where do we go to get away from the noise?’ and ‘What if we just want to visit for a beer?’”


Beer, Spirits, and Seriously Good Cocktails

Craft beer lovers, don’t worry – you’re still covered. There are 16 taps pouring beers from all Mutual Respect brands. Grab a pint to stay, or pick up some cans and four-packs to go.

But here’s the exciting part: craft cocktails. While the distillery waits for its official Pennsylvania license, they’re serving drinks made with PA-based spirits. And to make those cocktails sing? Meet Anders, the new in-house mixologist with over a decade of experience working at top-notch speakeasies and whiskey lounges like Philly’s iconic Hop Sing Laundromat and The Local in New Jersey. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just looking to try something new, Anders has you covered.

Once the distillery gets rolling, expect clear spirits like vodka, gin, and white rum to kick things off. Down the road, they’re planning to dive into aged spirits, fun liqueurs, and maybe even some canned cocktails. If you’re into sipping locally-made spirits, keep your eyes on this space – big things are coming!


A New Taproom, But the Music Still Plays

If you’ve visited Broken Goblet before, you probably know their large music venue space. Here’s the deal:

  • The original taproom is now officially the Music Room, a space for private events and live music shows.
  • The Mixing Room is your go-to for a laid-back beer (or cocktail) experience.

It’s a win-win: grab a drink and relax in the new taproom, or head next door for live tunes when the mood strikes.


Hungry? CaféDilla Is Coming Soon

No taproom is complete without good food, and The Mixing Room is no exception. CaféDilla – one of the Mutual Respect Collective partners – is prepping to open their full kitchen this spring. For now, they’re serving up a limited menu, with more details to come as things heat up. Keep an eye out for updates because good beer + good cocktails + great food? That’s the trifecta.


The Verdict: Why You Should Visit The Mixing Room

Broken Goblet has always been a gem in the local craft beer scene, but The Mixing Room takes things to the next level. It’s intimate, creative, and brings together beer, spirits, and community all under one roof. Whether you’re stopping by for a fresh pint, exploring their cocktail menu, or just checking out what’s new, there’s something for everyone to love.

So, grab your friends, check out this new space, and support the folks at Broken Goblet and the Mutual Respect Brewery Collective. Cheers to great beer, excellent cocktails, and a little bit of local magic!

For More Information on Broken Goblet

The following comes via Untappd.

BierHall Brewing Coming to Lancaster https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/11/03/bierhall-brewing-coming-to-lancaster/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bierhall-brewing-coming-to-lancaster Fri, 03 Nov 2023 16:23:27 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=13197 BierHall Brewing Opening

BierHall Brewing is set to have their Grand Opening on Saturday, November 18th (2023) in Lancaster PA at 1703 New Holland Pike.

Jim and Chris Rommel are the powerhouses behind BierHall Brewing.

The Start of BierHall Brewing Company

It all goes back to over a decade ago, when Chris Rommel was in Germany, and earned a degree in Fermentation. Since then he has worked professionally for both breweries and distilleries. From places such as Lancaster, Philadelphia, and Richmond.

This is the main genesis for the idea and the backbone for why its “BierHall Brewing”.

Much like Troegs Brewing where Chris and John wanted to emphasize the atmosphere of a German bierhall – BierHall Brewing will be doing the same. Inspired by Jim and Chris’s trip(s) to Germany where they discovered that even the small towns have their own bierhalls with their own breweries. They very much wanted to transport this back to America. A German culture of beer and brewing with an American flair.

 

 

Guests can expect traditional beers in a German bierhall type setting (for a mental image – think of Troegs Brewery or Ever Grain Brewing). Inside – the roughly two thousand square foot – taproom will feature long tables with the ability to fit over a hundred and fifty guests. Amazingly – outside will also feature an additional two thousand foot area that will be utilized as a large outdoor beer garden space.

1703 New Holland Pike

Located at 1703 New Holland Pike the building was once the Eden Hotel as well as a night club. It was originally built in 1829 – as the Eden Hotel. It was in the 1970s when it was transformed into the night club. There was extensive renovations done to transform it into the BierHall Brewery. One of the biggest changes they had to make to the building was to cut out the window space for natural lighting, as well as a way to get the tanks and brewing equipment into the building – and to display and showcase the equipment.

They have a 10 barrel brewing system. Their system features four of the horizontal lagering tanks (see picture below). These are perfect for brewing lagers of all different styles – Helles, Schwarzbiers, Bocks, etc.

Speaking of lagers – the styles they will mostly be brewing are lagers, Helles, Schwarzbiers, darker lagers, and Pilsners. Occasionally they will brew some of the more “modern” types – ones you see across the country in America – West Coast IPAs, Hazy IPAs, and the such.

Their bar will be running a twelve draft system – meaning twelve taps. They are planning to keep ten of the taps for themselves, while the remaining two taps can be potentially used for guest taps.

They also have a Brewery – PA license, meaning they can serve beer from any brewery from within the state, as well as any liquor or spirits distilled within the state, and any wine from within the state.

They have a crowler machine but no growler machine, and are potentially looking into doing canning in the future.

They do have a kitchen at BierHall Brewing. It will be mostly German but with an American blend (kind of a mash up between the two). On the German side of things they’ll have your typical German fare (think of breweries like Gunpowder Falls or Desperate Times Brewery) – Bavarian Pretzels, bratwurst, schnitzel, potato salad, Brot and Brötchen, and other German food. On the American side they will be having the “traditional” items on an American food menu – burgers, hot dogs, fries, and potentially wings.

They will be having their Grand Opening on Saturday, November 18th 2023.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:

We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.
