Berg Brewing to Open in Chambersburg PA

Berg Brewing to Open in Chambersburg PA

Berg Brewing is all set to open in Chambersburg, PA. They just posted a few hours ago at 6:25 AM about ‘having all their t’s crossed’ and ready to go. They will be located in Chambersburg Pennsylvania; alongside GearHouse Brewing, TBC Brewing, and Maxie’s Brewhouse.

You will be able to find them at 100 South Main Street, Chambersburg PA.

This was their post on Facebook from 2 hours ago:

We’ve officially dotted every “i” and crossed every “t,” and we’re thrilled to announce we’re moving in to 100 South Main Street! 🍻🏠
A huge thank you for your patience while we kept things under wraps to make sure this could be our permanent spot (we owe you all a pint)! 🍺 Special shoutout to @_maneandco for partnering with us on the space and build-out—y’all are the best!
Stay tuned for updates as we settle in and start collaborating with our fantastic neighbors (looking at you, @neighborsfoodhall 🤩). 2025 is shaping up to be an epic year, and we can’t wait to raise a glass with you soon!
•••
In a year where we have seen far more brewery closings than brewery openings, its so great to see some growth still happening in the industry. Check back with us as we have a more in-depth report on their opening.

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.

Old Soul Brewing Starting up in Waynesboro Pennsylvania https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/01/01/old-soul-brewing-starting-up-in-waynesboro-pennsylvania/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=old-soul-brewing-starting-up-in-waynesboro-pennsylvania Mon, 02 Jan 2023 01:08:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=10123
Old Soul Brewing – Waynesboro, Pennsylvania

And the Brewery Count Goes Up

So good to start off the new year with good news. And few things are better than announcing a new brewery is in the works.

The Waynesboro brewing scene is picking up. Announcing today on Facebook that they have secured a building is Old Soul Brewing. They will be located at: 2 South Mulberry Street, Waynesboro, PA, United States, Pennsylvania. The building is currently the Nu – Way Cleaners (a former dry cleaner business in Waynesboro).

Obviously not much is known at this time of their announcement, but we are definitely keeping them on the radar.

Announcement

Old Soul Brewing announces that they have secured a location

Old Soul Brewing made the following announcement via their social media pages earlier today:

Happy new year! The new year brings exciting news for us! Big thanks to Mike and Sharon from Iron Valley Real Estate of Central PA Carlisle Office for finding a home for our project!

Clean out is well underway! Working on drawings and permits to start the buildout. We’re looking to open mid summer this year if all goes well.

Old Soul Brewing – Facebook Post

To go along with their announcement, Lindgren Craft Brewery also made an announcement:

Remember when we told you about our 2-bbl system getting a new home in Waynesboro? Be sure to follow Old Soul Brewing to follow their adventures as they work on getting their brewery open!

Lindgren Craft Brewery – Facebook Post

Its so awesome to see a brewery getting to reuse a local brewery’s supplies and tanks. Good to see Lindgren Craft Brewery’s 2-BBL system going to a good home.

This is what’s so great about the craft beer industry. How teams and breweries work together. Lindgren Craft Brewery gets to upgrade their system, recoup some of the money from their old system, and in the process their old system finds a new home with a starting brewery and helps them out.

You can read more about Lindgren Craft Brewery and how they are moving into a bank in Duncannon Pennsylvania here: Lindgren Craft Brewery – Back the Bank. And – Lindgren Craft Brewing – Duncannon’s Newest Brewery: Inside a Bank.

The Facebook summary for Old Soul Brewing reads:

We are a 2bbl brew house with a six tap tasting room. All styles from clear to thicc will be offered.

AJ Brechbiel

Longtime readers of the blog here will recognize the name of AJ Brechbiel. He has written a few articles for us, and been longtime friends of the blog. We first met AJ a long time ago at various home brewing events and other craft beer related events in the area and got to know him and reached out to him to write a bit for us.

He has been an assistant brewer for both Rough Edges Brewing Company in Waynesboro Pennsylvania and for Gearhouse Brewing Company in Chambersburg Pennsylvania.

You can read about our one trip here: Hiking Pen Mar Overlook and Park and Visiting Rough Edges Brewing.

AJ has been a big help here at the blog and great supporter as well. You can read his articles here:

We have reached out to AJ and hope to get more word on the upcoming brewery. You here at The Beer Thrillers will certainly get all the news when we get it!

Thanks For Reading

Thanks for reading everyone, and I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year’s. Hopefully you didn’t tie one on too much last night at your New Years Eve parties… maybe didn’t go straight for all the barleywines or 14% pastry stouts? Maybe chilled and settled for a few pilsners and lagers? Here at The Beer Thrillers HQ we had a a pretty slow day. I had to do some housework, getting a room finished painting, and had to do some computer training for my work. I finished two books to hit my 2022 Book Challenge goal of 110 books.

Scarlet, Amy and I, just stayed inside for New Years Eve, and today – New Years Day – I worked. But its so good to come home to this great news. And fills me with much hope for the 2023 year! I can’t wait to get at it!

Cheers All! And a very Happy New Years!

Von C Brewing Company

VON C BREWING COMPANY out of Norristown, Pennsylvania!

Congratulations Von C Brewing and all of the brewers, staff, workers, and fans who helped vote, share, and come to the blog.

Thank You

First, I’d like to give a big shout out to everyone! I mean – absolutely everyone! From all the different breweries, staff, workers, fans, and readers of the blog. You have made this a tremendous success. The tournament this year totally blew away the tournament last year, both in volume of results, number of breweries involved, in shares, likes, comments, in clicks and views and visitors to the blog, to every possible metric I could use. Wow. I just want to say thank you to everyone.

Which leads me to the next point….

Blog Crashing

For the first time in the history of the tournament – and in the blog itself – the site has crashed due to amount of people visiting it. This is one of those “bad good things”. Its bad that its crashed, and I apologize to all those who were attempting to vote and it was down. (Difficulties with the host being a weekend, and it being a holiday weekend meant slower times getting them to respond, and literally had me on the phone waiting for over an hour.)

So needless to say, I was disappointed with the crash and the downtime, but was grateful for what that meant – so many visitors to the site! So congratulations to everyone who was able to crash the site (haha…..)!

Quick Recap

I’m going to do a quick recap of the finals and announce the winner with this article. And then do a full, big, recap, award ceremony, finals, whatever you want to call it on Monday.

Due to the downtime, I had extended the tournament until this morning ending it effectively at noon (11:59AM EST) (so technically – morning). With having to do some mowing, and family obligations (my sister was throwing my nephew’s 7th birthday party), things got a bit wonky for the day, and I didn’t quite complete things like I wanted. (Tried to get this recap article done by 2PM… started it… but didn’t get a chance to finish it until now.)

So enough rambling, lets get to the recap.

Lead Up

Coming into the finals fatal four-way, we had a winner from each conference. And those winners were:

  • Brock Lesnar Conference: Axemann Brewery
  • Roman Reigns Conference: Von C Brewing
  • Ronda Rousey Conference: Gearhouse Brewing
  • Charlotte Flair Conference: Bunnyman Brewing

All four breweries did a tremendous job to get to the finals. Each conference was 32 breweries (for a grand total of 128 breweries). Meaning just to get to the finals, each brewery beat out 31 other breweries. That’s no small feat.

Results

Like true pro wrestling, in a fatal four-way they often do it as an “elimination match”, meaning one wrestler after another is eliminated until you have the winner. Technically, we didn’t do eliminations in the voting, but for the results here, I am going to list the breweries in order of their “elimination” (or placing).

  • Eliminated first: Gearhouse Brewing (429 votes) (4th place)
  • Eliminated second: Axemann Brewery (682 votes) (3rd place)
  • Last elimination: Bunnyman Brewing (3582 votes) (2nd place)

Winner: Von C Brewing (3824 votes) (1st place)

For a total of: 8517 votes. That is an amazing total number of votes!

The breakdown for voting percentages goes:

  • Gearhouse Brewing (429 / 8517 votes) – 5.04%
  • Axemann Brewery (682 / 8517 votes) – 8.03%
  • Bunnyman Brewing (3582 / 8517 votes) – 42.05%
  • Von C Brewing (3824 / 8517 votes) – 44.89%

It was extremely close Thursday, Friday, and the bonus Saturday time between Bunnyman Brewing and Von C Brewing. It was anybody’s ballgame / race / competition / brewing duel to the death.

But once again, I want to congratulate Von C Brewing as being the champion!

Thank You Everyone

Just to reiterate, thank you everyone for visiting, voting, sharing, liking, commenting, and discussing the 2nd Battle of the Breweries. Look out for the full results on Monday, where I’ll break down the full tournament. (It will most likely get posted after I come home from work Monday, so later in the evening, around 8-10PM…. possibly Tuesday morning.)

Again, congratulations to all four final breweries. They all did amazing in the tournament. Especially Bunnyman Brewing and Von C Brewing, putting up some amazing numbers. And obviously, huge congrats go to Von C for winning it! They now will live on in the annals of the Battle of Breweries here on The Beer Thrillers, as being the second ever champion! (First champion was The Isle of Que Brewing).

For some related articles, you can check out last year’s two result pages:

This year’s results page, and the voting page:

Thanks for voting everyone!

Thanks For Reading

Check Monday for the full results page! Thanks for reading everyone! Lots of fun articles in the future, so make sure you keep coming back! Thanks for making this such a great and fun tournament!

Cheers Everyone!

The Battle of the Breweries (2022) – Conference Finals Results https://thebeerthrillers.com/2022/04/08/the-battle-of-the-breweries-2022-conference-finals-results/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-battle-of-the-breweries-2022-conference-finals-results Fri, 08 Apr 2022 12:08:54 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=9119
The Battle of the Breweries (2022) – Bigger, Bolder, Badder

Conference Finals

Things certainly heated up in the conference finals! In fact thats an understatement really! We are now down to our final four breweries (competitors) who will face off in a fatal four – way for the tournament final! Unlike past rounds where I did a results post for each conference, but with this round just being one match for each I feel it would be better to consolidate into one post.

Firstly, I want to say congratulations to all eight of the breweries that even made it this far. As I discussed in the rules and opening article – March Madness (2022): Bigger, Bolder, Badder – this year’s tournament included 128 breweries! Thats a lot of breweries! So to even reach the final eight of this tournament is a big accomplishment for all of the breweries involved.

And all eight of these breweries are slinging some excellent brews and pure fire for everyone to drink. So if you are looking for a list of breweries I’d recommend – all eight of these breweries would certainly make that list. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

The final eight includes:

  • Axemann Brewery
  • 1787 Brewing Company
  • Human Robot
  • Von C Brewing
  • Troegs Independent Craft Brewing
  • Gearhouse Brewing
  • Rough Edges Brewing
  • Bunnyman Brewing

Results

Ok, lets get to the results and see who moves on to the final four death match to determine who is truly the best brewery of this tournament! So we now have the final four of this tournament of arbitrarily picked breweries (breweries that I – B. Kline – The Beer Thrillers – have visited), but none of these breweries are arbitrary! They all battled hard to get here, so let’s see who did it and how!

Brock Lesnar Conference

  • (24) Axemann Brewery (256 votes) defeated (25) 1787 Brewing Company (50 votes)

Roman Reigns Conference

  • (19) Von C Brewing (332 votes) defeated (4) Human Robot (29 votes)

Ronda Rousey Conference

  • (24) Gearhouse Brewing (151 votes) defeated (20) Troegs Independent Craft Brewing (47 votes)

Charlotte Flair Conference

  • (23) Bunnyman Brewing (2,631 votes) defeated (5) Rough Edges Brewing (2,479 votes)

Factoids and Notes

That had to be the most insane round of voting in the extensive (…two year) history of this tournament. The Charlotte Flair conference has resulted in the site hitting its bandwidth and over running its capacity three times, blowing up my phone and e-mail with alerts as I scrambled to the host to get it all fixed to get it back up. What an outpouring of voting! Its a shame the two couldn’t reach and compete in the finals, but both Bunnyman Brewing and Rough Edges Brewing definitely showed up and voted! I’m sure both will do amazing in next year’s tournament!

  • Ironically, Von C Brewing will be the lowest seed in the final four-way with their 19 seed. The other breweries will be a 24 (Axemann Brewery), a 24 (Gearhouse Brewing), and a 23 (Bunnyman Brewing).
  • Outside of the finals of last year’s tournament, this is the most votes any two breweries have received. (In the final triple threat of last year’s tournament – Isle of Que brewing received 3,744 votes, runner up Rubber Soul Brewing Company received 3,353, and third place Troegs Independent Craft Brewing received 90 votes.) (For more information: And the Winner of the Battle of the Breweries 2021 Is…..)
  • With the elimination of Troegs Independent Craft Brewing, there is no longer any competing breweries from last year’s finals Triple Threat.
  • Despite having the most votes of the tournament (thus far, for any round) – Bunnyman Brewing did not have the largest margin of victory. That went to Von C Brewing with 303 votes over Human Robot.
  • Other margins of victory are: Axemann Brewery defeated 1787 Brewing by 206 votes, Gearhouse Brewing defeated Troegs Brewing by 104 votes, and Bunnyman defeated Rough Edges by 152 votes.
  • The locations for the final four are:
    • Axemann Brewery: Bellefonte, PA
    • Von C Brewing: Norristown, PA
    • Gearhouse Brewing: Chambersburg, PA
    • Bunnyman Brewing: Fairfax, VA
  • The combined total of votes this round was: 5,975.
  • Will that be enough votes to win the tournament? Last year’s finals triple threat match had over 7,000 total votes between its three competitors.

Look for more information on the final four coming soon

I will be doing some articles on each of the final four breweries during the week of the voting, so be on the lookout for those articles. Hopefully this will give anyone unfamiliar with the breweries a chance to read and learn about them and hopefully eventually get to visit these great breweries! Last year’s final triple threat had Isle of Que, Troegs Independent Craft Brewing, and Rubber Soul Brewing Company. After their win, the Isle of Que brewers and owners came down to visit and hang out for the day with Rubber Soul Brewing Company, which Josh Doncevic got to sit in with them and hang out and had a blast.

So be on the lookout for more news and articles on the different breweries involved. Perhaps some interviews with the brewers / owners and more.

Voting

The voting for this round won’t be any different than past rounds, except you just have a different format (more options) on the voting. Instead of being a heads up match – 1 v 1 – its now a fatal four-way! The finals are Axeman Brewery vs. Von C Brewing vs. Gearhouse Brewing vs. Bunnyman Brewing in a fatal four-way to determine the true champion of The Battle of the Breweries (2022)!

Voting will start up in about a half hour with its own post and article here on the blog (be on the lookout for it momentarily) (around 8AM). The voting will run until April 15th and 11:59:59 EST. Be sure to get out and vote! You can vote once per day. Be sure to share the post on all of the different social media platforms you use – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Discord, Untappd, Google Hangouts, Myspace, LinkTree, Snapchat, WhatsApp, OnlyFans, Chalk Boards, White Boards, Post Office Most Wanted Signs, Public Library Community Bulletin Boards, websites, Twitch, your old GeoCities site, Tumbler, Pintrest, Reddit, whatever and wherever you socialize. Let’s see if we can beat last year’s 7,000 vote total!

(Update: I will post a link here to the voting page as well.)
