Iron Hill
Est · 1996 · Newark, Delaware
A working brewhouse in the room, a tap list that changes by location, and a kitchen that cooks with the beer. Here is what a visit looks like.
The most award-winning brewpub East of the Mississippi, with 22 straight years of winning medals at GABF.
Iron Hill opened in Newark, Delaware in 1996 on a single conviction: brew every beer on site, cook every plate from scratch, and treat the room like a neighbor's kitchen.
Thirty years and 80+ medals later, that idea carries forward across Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Read our story →Every Iron Hill runs a from-scratch kitchen alongside the brewhouse, plated to sit beside the beer poured next to it. Not an afterthought to the taps, a match for them.

See the awards →Every Iron Hill brews where it serves. The tanks are part of the dining room, not a facility somewhere else with a logo on a truck. It is the reason the tap list at one location never quite matches another, and the reason the one-offs never leave the building.
Each brewpub runs its own lineup, rotating through the season alongside the year-round beers. Every location publishes a live tap list synced with Untappd, so you can see what is actually pouring before you decide where to go.
This is a scratch kitchen, and a fair amount of the menu is built on what comes out of the tanks: Vienna Red Lager in the BBQ, Pig Iron Porter on the ribs, White Iron Wit in the pretzel cheese. Hand-stretched pizza, flame-grilled burgers and shareables round it out.
Iron Insider is free, starts you at 100 points, and earns a point per dollar spent on food and non-alcoholic beverage purchases. Members drink 22oz for the price of a pint on every visit, which pays for itself somewhere in the first round.
Most locations handle private dining, semi-private areas and full buyouts, and all of them take reservations online. Groups, rehearsal dinners and corporate bookings go through the events request rather than the standard table booking.
Iron Hill has taken 80+ medals at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup since 1996, including three World Champion Brewpub titles. It is the most decorated brewpub East of the Mississippi, and the beer in front of you is made by the same people.
