This is a big place in an industrial area. The brewery and tap room are 16,000 sq. ft. The taproom has about 15 beers on tap, apparently some are even Kosher certified. I had a couple of IPAs that were nicely done. Their cans are increasingly available in the region. My wife said their Imperial Espresso Stout was the best stout she has ever tasted. It’s a very lively vibe with lots of young people, couches & other comfy seating and multiple big TVs. No food is served but there is a rotating selection of food trucks and they seem to happily accommodate bringing your own food.

Manor Hill was a bit of a surprise for me. The beer is good, but I will get back to that. They are located in a residential area – so they have a hard-zoning cap of 50 patrons at any time. I saw something on their web site about reservations, but I tuned out assuming it applied to groups or brewery tours. Nope – you need a reservation, to visit the tap room, at least on a Saturday afternoon. Fortunately, a foursome with a reservation was a no-show and we were able to stay until 4:00 when another group – with a reservation – was expected.

The web site says 12 beers on tap, but there were 9 on my visit; including 3 IPAs, Amber, Gose, Kolsch, Grisette. I had a couple of IPAs that I enjoyed. The setting is beautiful. 3,000 hop plants are grown on site. The staff was very knowledgeable on beer and the local beer scene. It’s worth a trip (with a reservation).

Roy PItz.

Not one guy but two; friends since elementary school, fellow graduates of the prestigious Siebel Brewing Institute, born & raised in Chambersburg, 30 miles-ish from Gettysburg and beer geeks from the get-go.

Their brewery resides in a 100+ year old brick warehouse that’s hard, HARD, to find…but find it!

It’s a joy!

Your GPS tells you to turn right (or left) on to 3rd street….except you can’t. There is no turn there. There are houses there. You gotta go around…to find Roy Pitz Avenue!

It’s a 20 barrel system, solar heated with un-pasteurized and un-filtered beer distributed throughout parts of the mid-Atlantic area.

Artwork is by a local & very unique, impressive.

The brewpub (Yes, they serve food and quite a good, extensive menu!) is all brick and pine with an old-time, rustic feel.

My wife Persimmon and I (indulging our quest to find out-of-the-way breweries and brewpubs on our year-long journey across the USofA) tried the Belgian Strong (delicious!) and Barleywine (not enough fruit flavor – needs to mature a bit longer) and listened to the bartender (Don) tell us that he agreed, that the Belgian was “flying” out of the tap and people kept clamoring for the barley wine aging in Turkey Whiskey barrels!

IPA, Maerzen, Shwartzbier, Blonde and Brown round out a wide variety of brews.

Acoustic music on Thursday and Saturday nights…food prices are very reasonable ($7 for 3 sliders)….parking…outside beer “garden”…good people with good conversation….

Yep…Roy Pitz has it all together.

I mean, c’mon man!! To get the street you work on named for you???

That’s doing something right!!
