Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery in Middletown, PA

Tattered Flag Brewery & Still Works Sold to California-Based Tower Investments: A New Chapter for Middletown’s Historic Brewery

The beloved Tattered Flag Brewery & Still Works, a (former) staple of Middletown’s craft beer and spirits scene, has officially changed hands. California-based Tower Investments, operating locally as Middletown South Union Street, LLC, has purchased the historic property at 1 S. Union Street, according to Dauphin County deed records. This sale marks a significant moment for the community, as Tattered Flag was more than just a brewery; it was a gathering spot that held a special place in the hearts of local craft beer enthusiasts.

July 28th, 2023 Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery announced their closure. It was announced that it was for sale (and was actually up for sale before the announcement of its closure). (Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery For Sale.) After a while of being unable to sell the business, Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery Ended Up For Auction. They went on the auction block in May 2024.

According to Nik Sgagias of NAI CIR, Tower Investments is actively seeking tenants for the space, hinting at possible new beginnings for the 13,000-square-foot property. Tattered Flag, known for its veteran-owned roots and innovative brews, closed its doors on October 1, 2023, following a public auction in June. The auction had a starting bid of $275,000, highlighting the historic and commercial appeal of this full-service restaurant, brewery, and distillery space.

The story of Tattered Flag began in 2015 when military veteran Pat Devlin and friends from Susquenita High School took on the massive renovation of the former Elks building. They transformed the two-story structure, which previously held three storefronts and a meeting room, into a unique brewpub and distillery, blending community spirit with a passion for craft beer and cocktails.

Over the years, Tattered Flag expanded to various locations, including taprooms in Lancaster, Gettysburg, and Derry Township. Unfortunately, these expansions—coupled with challenges from the pandemic, inflation, and labor shortages—eventually led to financial strain, and the decision to close the business was made earlier this year. The original Middletown location, however, remained a cherished landmark for both locals and visitors.

While Tower Investments has yet to comment on future plans, the company’s focus on real estate development suggests the property will likely find new life soon. Tower is a family-owned company specializing in real estate investment and development, with experience transforming properties across the country.

As Middletown awaits the next chapter for this historic location, locals can look back fondly on the memories made at Tattered Flag Brewery & Still Works, and many of us will be watching to see what the future holds for this beloved space in the heart of our community.

Fuzzy Few Organization Presents the Fuzzy Few Festival With Beer Garden 2024 https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/08/10/fuzzy-few-organization-presents-the-fuzzy-few-festival-with-beer-garden-2024/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fuzzy-few-organization-presents-the-fuzzy-few-festival-with-beer-garden-2024 Sat, 10 Aug 2024 14:15:13 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15419

Fuzzy Few Festival 2024

Fuzzy Few Organization Presents the Fuzzy Few Festival With Beer Garden 2024

Fuzzy Few Festival

Previously known as the Fuzzy Few Carnival, this year the Fuzzy Few Organization is renaming and rebranding it as a Festival rather than a carnival.

For the past 55 years it has been the Fuzzy Few Carnival and has happened near or around the middle of August every year. With the Hummelstown Fireman’s Carnival happening in the end of June each year.

Unfortunately, as with most things – COVID – 19 changed a lot of the way events, activities, and things like this work. And with all of that it became harder and harder for the Fuzzy Few Organization (FFO) to be able to secure carnival groups to come help assist their carnival each year. Last year they were unable to have rides and other vendors due to this, but they did procure some inflatable activities and playground stuff for children.

(See last year’s article: Fuzzy Few Organization Presents the Fuzzy Few Festival With Beer Garden 2023.)

So pivoting for 2023 they announced the Fuzzy Few Festival (instead of the Fuzzy Few Carnival).

Now in its second year as the Fuzzy Few Festival, it returns for 2024 from August 12th through August 17th.

It will run from August 12th through August 17th 2024 at Schaffner Park (Boro Park).

Beer Garden

The Beer Garden has moved from the caged in basketball courts to right directly in front of the band stage – and as a bonus – they will allow guests to purchase the alcohol and move about the festival rather than having to stay within the basketball court like last year.

Known beer will be Troegs Independent Brewing (who has graciously donated eight [8] cases of beer to the event) – Perpetual IPA, Sunshine Pilsner, and Graffiti Highway IPA – as well as Blue Moon, Coors Light, and Miller Lite. (More could be announced.) Also on top of beer there is mixed drink, wine, cocktails, and select other beverages.

Pentagon

The band Pentagon are hosting their “farewell tour” and one of their final gigs will be the closing day of the Fuzzy Few Festival 2024. This might be your last chance to catch them in action, so be sure to come out Saturday August 17th. The festival runs until 11:30 PM.

Amy and the Alzheimer’s Association

Make sure you stop out to visit Amy at her Alzheimer’s Assocciation stand. (I’ll also be helping out a few nights after work). Raising awareness for Alzheimer’s and for the Alzheimer’s Association.

She will have a stand at the Festival, so you can stop in, talk with her (or us) and hang out, and get information, fliers, pamphlets and information about Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association, and their work raising awareness, looking for a cure, charitable work, as well as the upcoming End ALZ Walks.

Band Lineup

The bands lined up for the First Inaugural Fuzzy Few Festival are:

  • Monday (August 12th) – Honey Pump
  • Tuesday (August 13th) – Smooth Like Clyde
  • Wednesday (August 14th) – Class Act
  • Thursday (August 15th) – Luv Gods
  • Friday (August 16th) – Soul Solution
  • Saturday (August 17th) – Pentagon

History of Fuzzy Few Organization

The founding of the Organization, know as the Fuzzy Few, came about during Hummelstown’s 200th Anniversary. It was formed as a Bearded Brothers Club to participate in that celebration. After playing a very active role during the time of fun and merriment, the men in the club decided to apply for an official charter and operate as a non-profit organization in the community of Hummelstown.

The organization’s official emblem was registered and approved on December 29th, 1963. The emblem also indicates the clubs desire to promote goodwill and fellowship not only within the organization but also throughout the community and surrounding areas.

The goal of the organization since its founding has been to establish and support community and youth related programs.

Benefit for CJ (YAH Brew) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/06/30/benet-for-cj-yah-brew/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=benet-for-cj-yah-brew Mon, 01 Jul 2024 01:45:24 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15214

Benefit for CJ Flyer

Benefit for CJ at YAH Brew (Hershey)

 

The Benefit for CJ Facebook Event

Quick shout out links:

CJ Corbin

On June 22 CJ Corbin was in a bad accident.  The other driver ran a red light and hit CJ while driving his motorcycle.  The other driver is only getting charged with a traffic violation but that is another story for another time.  CJ has lost part of a leg because of this accident.

My next question is how can I help?  No matter what the situation I think to myself; what am I capable of doing to change this terrible outcome?  I feel this is where my passion for working for a nonprofit comes from. One thing that has me obsessed with the brewery community is the unwavering support your local breweries support the community.

It reminded me of all the support and help for the Hemauer family – Helping the Hemauer Family.

(See our Instagram from the other day for pictures of when we were at YAH Brew to drop off the raffle basket on Thursday night.)

Benefit for CJ

The Callahan Kolsch from YAH Brew (100% of proceeds went to CJ)

This is a brewery community.  It was no surprise that YAH Brew was going to be holding a fundraiser for CJ, also part of their kitchen staff.  The event was held on Sunday June 30th from 3 pm – 8 PM.

While attending the event we overheard friends of CJ’s worrying about how he is handling this.  What I can gather; from looking around in the short time I was at the brewery; is that CJ has a very large community rallying behind him.

According to the YAH Brew Facebook page Performance Foodservice donated over 20 lbs of brisket, rolls slaw and BBQ Sauce.  100% of the sales of that food would go to CJ.  The food was sold out by the time we got there at 6:20 PM.

The basket Grandma SueAnn made for the silent auction.

There was a monumental feeling of support in the air as we enjoyed our beers.  Our own Grandma SueAnn put together a silent auction basket to help out the cause.  They had several silent auction items all from other local breweries and businesses.

There is a Go Fund Me Page to help with CJ’s care – GoFundMe: Support for CJames’ Recovery (PennLive’s Article about CJ’s Crash). The goal has been increased on the page since they have surpassed the goal and as of the time of writing this article is over $13k.

Baskets for the silent auction at YAH Brew for the Benefit CJ event.

We got a strong feeling that this may be the first of other fundraisers for CJ.  If it involves the love I felt for the community this evening, count us in!

Drink More Beer!

Amy

Wrap Up

Editor Ben notes: After the event ended, and the clean up began, we got to talking with Justin and Aimee about CJ, the event, how their Mount Joy location is doing, how their all doing with all the stresses and headaches and everything going on, as well as Hummelstown happenings, and so much more. With just ball park numbers, and not getting the exact specifics and everything, but from the various forms of donations tonight – food purchases, straight up cash donations, the silent auction purchases, tips to the guest bartenders, as well as the sales of The Callahan Kolsch; they raised roughly over 7,000$ today for CJ. As well as whatever was also donated via his GoFundMe page which there was QR codes for at the brewery.

All in all, the event was a complete and total success. Justin did also mention that The 1762 Tavern at The Warwick Hotel will likely be doing a fundraising event in the near future for CJ as well, with 20% of all sales during that event (or that day) will be going towards CJ’s medical bills.

The outpouring of support from the community has been incredible, with baskets for the silent auctions coming in from friends and family, as well as breweries such as Troegs Independent Brewing, Lancaster Brewing Company, BierHall Brewery, and more.

Beers We Enjoyed

We both of course immediately got The Callahan Kolsch (20 oz) to start off the evening. While they wrapped up the silent auction, I walked down to Jersey Mike’s to grab a cheesesteak for us to enjoy while having the beers, and then once I got back, we got another round of beers. Amy got a second Kolsch, while I got the Go, Ninja, Go! collab that YAH Brew did with Country Club Brewing and Weathered Souls Brewing (the stout I wanted to try at their Mount Joy soft opening but was unable to).

Rubber Soul Brewing to Open New Taproom Saturday https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/06/21/rubber-soul-brewing-to-open-new-taproom-saturday/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rubber-soul-brewing-to-open-new-taproom-saturday Fri, 21 Jun 2024 15:18:30 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15185

Rubber Soul Brewing to Open New Taproom Saturday

This Saturday – June 22nd, 2024, Rubber Soul Brewing is set to open their brand new taproom on North Hanover Street, in Hummelstown PA.

After quite a while building the brand new building (and not without some town controversy) the opening is right around the corner. The new taproom will also host their brewery in the lower level (visible from the giant parking lot). Their original location will now just be a full restaurant and taproom. (See: A Sneak Peek at Rubber Soul Brewery.)

Original Location

Rubber Soul Brewing was originally intending to open their first location in Hummelstown around March of 2020, but with the pandemic, things got pushed back, and they finally held their grand opening in October of 2020. Their current location is in the old Hummelstown Police and Borough Building, located at 136 S Hanover St, Hummelstown, PA 17036.

The current plan for the original location is that they have removed the brewing production from the location to their new brewery facility and taproom, and extending the seating and restaurant.

New Location

The new location is located at 17 N Hanover St, Hummelstown, PA 17036, just 0.3 miles north of their current taproom (on the same street). The new facility took over an old warehouse that formerly sat on the property, as well as Maritza’s House of Style, which they had removed for extra parking. The new taproom has their brewing facility on the lower level, and the upper level features a deck and patio area that faces the 7-11 across the street and some abandoned buildings / businesses.

Hummelstown is currently in the midst of a big tourism push, including the mayor, the governor, and other officials and board members (some of which are involved with Rubber Soul Brewing). At a town meeting where they got permission to bulldoze the Maritza House of Style (despite having full ownership technically as per law at the time), Rubber Soul Brewing stated that their parking lot would be usable by the public for events in town including the parades, carnivals, as well as parking for other Main Street square activities (2nd Friday’s, Memorial Day, etc.)

Opening on Saturday – June 22nd, 2024

A quick map from their current location to their new location: From Rubber Soul Brewery to Rubber Soul Brewing Company’s New Taproom. Their current location is still not listed on Google Maps. The old warehouse which was removed was listed as 17 North Hanover Street. As per their Facebook post their brewery’s address will be “21 North Hanover Street”.
Rubber Soul Brewing Company was originally a brewery located in Salisbury Maryland. They were bought and are now owned by Ghost Brewing LLC. They were bought whole-stock, meaning the equipment, recipes, and social media passcodes and usage were all part of their purchase.

The following comes via Untappd.

They are listed as a brew pub from Hummelstown, PA. They have 123 unique beers and over 51,000 ratings, with a global average rating of 3.77 (as of 6.21.24). Their Untappd description reads: “We are pumping the air back into the tires of Rubber Soul Brewing Company. New location, new owners, new (and familiar) beer…same old sOul! In this world of instant gratification, superficial “likes” and followers instead of friends, we think it’s more important than ever to find your sOul. See, more and more often, people are so focused on doing what’s ‘right’ by someone else’s standards, obsessed with how other view them that they forget who they are. They give and give and give, follow all of the rules and do all of the ‘right’ things, until one day they wake up and realize their empty. Spend 5 minutes on social media and you will see countless bright pictures of smiling faces, but how many of us are genuinely satisfied? We’re talking deep, within your sOul, fire blazing, satisfied. At Rubber Soul, our mission is to refuel each and every sOul that walks through our doors. Our craft beer and local vibe is the end result of people who decided to just go for it and follow their passion, regardless of the opinion of others. We look forward to welcoming you to our brewery. No judgements. No impossible standards. #NoFilter. All that we require is that you do a little sOul searching.

Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery is Now Up for Auction https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/05/22/tattered-flag-brewery-and-distillery-is-now-up-for-auction/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tattered-flag-brewery-and-distillery-is-now-up-for-auction Wed, 22 May 2024 22:29:07 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15046

Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery

Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery is Now Up for Auction

The retail property at 1 S. Union St., is scheduled for auction on June 24, according to Nik Sgagais of NAI CIR, a commercial real estate company in Lemoyne, previously the location of the Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery – which closed last fall. The former site of Tattered Flag Brewery going up for auction; starting at $275,000.

According to a recent listing on Crexi, the former Tattered Flag Brewery at 1 South Union Street in Dauphin County will be auctioned on Monday, June 24. The bidding for this 13,000-square-foot space will start at $275,000.

This property includes a full-service restaurant with seating for up to 200 guests and is located just 2.5 miles from Harrisburg International Airport.

Interested bidders must register for the auction by clicking here or by contacting Nikolas Sgagias of NAI CIR for any inquiries.

The Tattered Flag Brewery, which opened in 2015, was renowned for its award-winning handcrafted beer, spirits, and cocktails. The business closed on Sunday, October 1.

Auction

With its distinctive big-city vibe and prime location in downtown Middletown, this must-see property offers an unparalleled investment opportunity.

-Auction Notice

For those eyeing a prime location to launch a restaurant or event space in Dauphin County, the former Tattered Flag Brewery & Still Works in Middletown presents a unique opportunity.

Initially listed for sale last summer, Tattered Flag was founded in 2015 by military veteran Pat Devlin and his high school friends from Susquenita. They transformed the former Elks building, a two-story structure with three storefronts and a meeting room, into a vibrant brewpub and distillery after extensive renovations.

The owners announced the closure last summer, attributing it to various challenges including rapid expansion, the pandemic, and the inflation/labor crisis.

The property is now up for auction as a short sale, meaning the mortgage lender is permitting the sale for less than what is owed. The 13,000-square-foot full-service restaurant, which seats about 200 guests, has a starting bid of $275,000. While the real estate is included in the auction, the brewery and distillery equipment will be sold separately, as noted by NAI CIR.

Tattered Flag was known for its diverse beer offerings, especially New England-style IPAs and sour beers. The distillery produced award-winning spirits including gin, vodka, and blue agave.

Over the years, Tattered Flag expanded with several satellite locations, including a briefly operated taproom in Derry Township, and additional outposts in Lancaster and Gettysburg.
