Article on South Jersey’s Beer Culture

The Courier Post wrote a great piece about southern New Jersey’s growing craft beer culture.  I’m really impressed with how much the beer scene has grown in my home state and I’m proud to be a part of it.  Check it out, it’s a good read. Cheers, Chris

So long Andy Musser

I’m probably the least sports savvy male I know. In fact I know less about sports than most women I know. But I value every time I got to meet Andy. I knew him as a beer lover, not really as a sports announcer. Andy was an investor and a semi regular customer at Dock [...]

Goodbye 2011 Hello 2010!

Thought we’d see in the new year with a little old cheer.  At 11 pm on December 31st we’ll be tapping a one-year-0ld keg of Russian Imperial Stout so you can great 2011 with something a bit classier than champagne.  We’re also launching this year’s Russian Imperial Stout when we open the restaurant.  And for those [...]

Chestnut Hill is moving right along!!

I always get excited when we open a new location.  I also love watching the whole thing unfold from four walls and a roof to a full-fledged restaurant.  Well it’s been a few weeks since I helped get the tanks off the truck and set the brewhouse.  Just a week ago Paul sent me a [...]

Congratulations Vince, we’re going to Belgium!

This may be old news by now, but I’m getting sent to Belgium!  It turns out that the Philly Beer Week event I mentioned a couple weeks ago turned out very favorably for me and for one of our regular customers / mug club members.  The event was a raffle in which one lucky beer drinker [...]

Pumpkin Ale Redux

I’ve been holding out on you, but it was for your own good.  I thought it would be a shame to have no pumpkin beers to ring in Thanksgiving with, so I saved a little of each style for Thanksgiving Eve.  At 4 pm tomorrow afternoon we’ll be tapping one keg each of Pumpkin Ale, [...]

It’s time again for the organizers of Philly Beer Week to send one lucky beer drinker and one Philadelphia-area brewer to Belgium to brew the Beer Week collaboration beer.  This year the brewery is DuPont (as in Saison DuPont) and the brewer representing Iron Hill is….. Me!  Tickets are only $5 and the winner wins [...]

Two Russians on tap tonight.

My inability to keep up = your ability to drink reserve beers on a random Tuesday.  This time of year always kills me.  Brewing four batches of Oktoberfest really ties my tanks up.  (Lagers require at least 3o days in the tank).  So once they kick, they tend to leave a big gap in seasonals [...]
