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.)

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.

More Information on Rubber Soul

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.”

Minimum Security by Ever Grain Brewing Company (…and popcorn from Maritza’s House of Style Grand Opening Celebration)

It’s that time of night.  What snack can I get into?  The leftover popcorn from Martiza’s new shop’s grand opening celebration.  I decided to pair my snack with an Ever Grain favorite, Minimum Security Hazy New England, IPA.  It weighs in with a 6.8% ABV and an overall Untapped rating of 4.05.  It goes perfect with the leftover popcorn.

Maritza’s House of Style – Grand Opening

My big sister Maritza DeJesus Patterson was celebrating the opening of her new hair salon with all her clients and supporters as she fought to keep her business in Hummelstown the past 3 years.  The entire newly remodeled and opened hair salon was packed as well as the surrounding yard and sidewalk. 

The backyard of 400 East Main Street is filled with tables of snacks, balloons and fun stuff for the kids.  The driveway is taken up by the trailer from Sweet Dawgs serving up ice cream to party goers.  Inside you find free raffles to enter, cupcakes, cookies and waters. 

Maritza’s old hair shop – the original Maritza’s House of Style (located across from the 7-11 on South Hanover Street, in Hummelstown PA)

I sip my hazy but light IPA as I recall my May 11 hair appointment with Maritza at the old shop.  The dye was in the hair and we had full on started chatting away.  All of the sudden we heard a loud bang.  It was a car accident right outside the shop.  Without even thinking Martiza and Liz both sprint across the street to check on both cars involved in the accident.  They stay on the scene until emergency personal arrive to assess the situation.  Liz comforting a hysterical driver and Maritza clearing the road for traffic to continue to move.

I took a moment and looked around, even peaking my head outside the shop covered in dye, and dozens of people gawking.  I’ve been involved in accidents several times before, not that many stop to check on you.  Maritza will always check on you.  Always.

Beer and Snacks

I polish off my pop corn and dive into the cookie from Maritza’s too.  It helps settle the rest of the delicious IPA.  Minimum Security is described on Untapped as a full bodied hazy IPA, dry hopped with Chinook, Simcoe, and a touch of Citra.  Flavors and aromas of mango, and orange creamsicle with a soft finish.

As I’m reminiscing about Maritza’s old shop I remember it felt like cheers.  And I chuckled thinking about running into my first grade teacher, Mrs. McGarvey, who also gets her hair done at Maritza’s.  Maritza managed to move her own ‘Cheers’ to her new shop. 

I’m all out of snacks and I’m out of beer.
