A new addition is coming to downtown Hershey.

The Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant is expected to open on West Chocolate Avenue later this year or in early 2019. This will be the thirteenth location that founders Kevin Finn, Mark Edelson, and Kevin Davies have opened.

The brewery and restaurant started in Newark, Delaware in 1996, and it has only grown from there. Today there are 12 locations all throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York. With their new location in Hershey, they will now have 10 locations within PA. The company is also looking at opening a new location in South Carolina as well.

The downtown Hershey location appealed to Finn.  “It’s an exciting place to expand,” Finn said, “and share our passion for our scratch kitchen and craft brewery.”

The Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant will be housed in a 9,000 square foot space and will be able to seat up to 290 people. There will be an onsite brewing facility as well as a bar area and outdoor seating. The restaurant will also have its own scratch kitchen.

The Iron Hill Brewery will be located next to a new Starbucks and Primanti Bros, and it will be across the street from Knock Knock Boutique.
