As of 2011, Iron Hill has 8 brewpubs in the DE-PA-NJ tri-state area. I am impressed this chain hasn't lost touch with its craft microbrewery roots, because the brewmasters each have autonomy to constantly invent bold new recipes. I almost always find a new brew when I go into any Iron Hill, and I have tasted almost 200 different Iron Hill beers over the past several years! Their selection has excellent variety, and they usually have 12+ well-crafted beers on tap. I highly recommend visiting any Iron Hill brewpub to try a sampler! The West Chester, PA location is bustling with college-town feel, and finding street parking can be quite a challenge for this location.

Iron Hill West Chester one of the best of their locations. I think they are up to 8 locations now, but even though they grow, their roots are still in brewing great beers and serving fresh, unique, and artisanal food. They have 5 or so house beers and a couple seasonals on at all times, and usually they have a cask and a nitrogen tap going as well. West Chester just got a new brewer a couple months ago after Chris moved to a new location in NJ. Chris did a great job with the beer culture and Larry is following right in his footsteps. I am part of a homebrew club that meets here once a month and they couldn't be more accommodating to us. I usually don't eat dinner here because it's pricey, but when I have had food, it's all been really good. I have had some service problems here, nothing real big, but sometimes I feel like they are catering to the diners who are spending a ton of money on dinner and drinks. If you're there for just a beer or two, expect to be neglected a bit. The bartenders are better at taking care of you if you can get a seat at the bar.
