North Wales' Iron Hill Named Among PA's 30 Best Craft Breweries

NORTH WALES, PA — The craft beer scene continues to grow in the region, and Montgomery County is at the heart of it all.

A recent take on the 30 best craft breweries in the region included four with roots in Montgomery County, and several more in Philadelphia, Chester, and Bucks counties.

Those four include Ambler's Forest and Main Brewing, Sly Fox (Pottstown and Phoenixville), Tired Hands (Ardmore), and Iron Hill (numerous locations across the region).

Iron Hill has breweries in North Wales, West Chester, Phoenixville, Huntingdon Valley, Ardmore, Center City, and elsewhere.

The list was put together by Food and Wine.

They had the following to say about Iron Hill:

"While it might seem silly to include an aging chain brewpub (originally started in Jersey) on a list of top Pennsylvania breweries, Iron Hill should not be ignored. Nine of the chain’s thirteen locations are currently in Pennsylvania, with a crown jewel spot set to open in Philadelphia shortly. The brewpubs each have their own equipment and brewmasters who brew on-site—and they’ve won GABF medals for twenty straight years, the current record."
