The Hulmeville Inn has been a staple of the northeast Philly suburbs craft beer seen for a long time. This tavern has 20 well chosen national crafts on tap, as well as 80 craft varieties in bottles and cans. The beer menu is designed to have something for everyone. The building is three-story white stone construction with black trim. There is a small dedicated parking lot around the side. In front is a sun room with a few dining tables. The main bar room has a J-shaped composite-topped wooden bar with 18 stools. The floor is ceramic tile and the low ceiling is dark wood. The place is decorated with brewery signs and they take pride in their beer offering. In addition to pints, you can also order 4-beer sampler flights, and they fill growlers and crowler cans. The staff is casual and friendly. Their simple food menu consists of pub appetizers, simple salads, quesadillas, burgers, and a variety of sandwiches. For entertainment, they have a game room with a couple pool tables, darts and a video game. The place also has plenty of televisions for sports, creating a subdued neighborhood bar atmosphere. The food is just average, but it is a good place to find some new craft beer.

The Hulmeville Inn is a terrific beer bar with a great selection. It's home to the ALEiens Home brew club and also the home bar and sponsor of the 2010 and 2011 Philly Beer Geek winners.

Selection was great, there were several beers that I would've had. I only had time for one, so I went with the Founders Breakfast Stout which was a good call.

I didn't get a chance to speak with the bartenders much, they were setting up for a BBQ that afternoon, but in the little bit that I interacted with them, it appeared that they knew their stuff and could help out with finding something you'd like.

I didn't try any of the food, so I can't comment on it, but they did have a small menu of mostly bar-food.

The Hulmeville Inn seriously stepped up their beer a few years ago, and continue to: they just got a beer engine last week after running firkin on the bar for some months. It's a bar, not a restaurant: the food's okay, but it's not the main reason you're there. It's the beer, and they get beers that will surprise you, given the location in a tucked-away blue collar little town, across from the firehall. It's an easy drive for me, and I'm finding myself down there more often all the time. Don't like the smoking, but that's just me; the beer's worth it.
