Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company

I am a beer guy, I pride myself on being from Philadelphia. I’ve hit every local brewery in the area. These guys are doing everything right! Excellent beers! My favorite by far is the Croydon cream ale! It’s my new addiction. I wish these guys nothing but luck, quality beer and at a great price. I’ll be back, well worth the trip.

This place gets it correct, right out of the gate. Choose any beers for your flight, taco truck outside, air hockey, old nostalgic video games and wait, did I say you choose whatever beers you want they have on tap for your flight. This was my favorite brewery on the tour for my brewery crawl for the day with my boys.
Love it.

It took me way too long to visit NCBC. The space is super cool and the beer prices are great.
A couple Saturdays ago when our wives were having a girl’s night my buddy and I decided to take a road trip out to Croydon. This was such a good decision.
Neshaminy Creek is inside a warehouse (shocking for a brewery) but that’s not all of it. They have large bench seats, punk rock on the jukebox and a free, yes I said free, pool table. This won me over.
I ran into people I knew from Philly while up there. I guess other people know about the goodness this place brings and also decided to make the pilgrimage. It’s so worth it.
So, get here early and keep a watch for their special events. This place is well worth the drive.

Things to know before you go:
1. Bring quarters to play pool and games
2. Bring food because they don’t have a kitchen
3. Bring a Designated Driver to get you out of Croydon
The whole place has tons to do, it feels like the dream of a Freshmen College boy come true: a place full of beer, arcade games and sports. They also had a football game projecting on the wall which was cool. They also had a pet adoption event going which I absolutely loved!
I came on a Sunday afternoon and the place was comfortably packed. It seems like it is well attended by locals, people came with their families (and small children) and even dogs to grab a beer. Many people brought in pizza from a nearby place, but there is nothing actually walkable to get food from. I know some reviews mentioned food trucks, I guess that’s only on certain days.
I love breweries because I like tastings, and although they won’t sell you a flight, it is a $ 1 a small pour (the size of a small tasting glass) and if you get four, they do give you a contraption to hold them in. A larger beer is $ 2, so not a bad deal either! I had the bartender pick out 4 and we picked another 4 to taste almost everything on tap. The bartender asked if it was our first time here and gave me a few tastes on the house! Thanks!
I would really like to come back with a group of friends and get some healthy competition going with all the games they have here. I wouldn’t mind returning for a game either, as the place seemed pretty lively for a Sunday afternoon as well. Overall, look forward to coming back!

Night and day with NCBC from the carpeted tasting room to huge open garage space with arcade and pool. Skip going to Yards and make the trip up to Bristol.
Shape of Hops to Come is easily the best production Double IPA in PA. Expecting more great offerings for hop heads in 2016. The hype is real… pretty unbelievable growth from these folks over the past year or so.

I’ll start with the issues —
1) They don’t sell flights anymore?
2) Service is kind of rude.
3) You can only get growlers of their year round line, and they don’t bottle or can any of their seasonal specialties. So if you want a seasonal or specialty beer you can only get it in pint form there.
Aside from these problems, I really like NCBC. You can get a four ounce pour for two bucks, but good look hauling more than two glasses to from the bar to your table. I find it strange they got rid of flights; I mean, even if they want to sell by the glass they don’t offer a tray or wood cut-​out for easy transportation? Whatever.
Anyway, I’ve been drinking their brews for quite a long time, having started a few years back at the Churchville Inn. Back then I was not impressed with their Churchville Lager, which while an alright lager, is very forgettable. Their tripel on the other hand is a delicious, highly alcoholic favorite of mine. As far as I know it is available year round, so I implore those who like tripels to give it a shot. Along with this, their porter and steamer are drinkable and even pleasant, but also suffer from being forgettable; they get lost in a crowd of better beers, even amongst the other beers brewed here.
That being said, aside from the tripel they have two awesome beers that make my mouth water. Punkless Dunkel and the White Chocolate Pumpkin Porter are literally heavenly. And of course, they’re only available in the fall and you can’t get them in growler, can or bottle form. This makes me very sad. Both are very heavy beers both in terms of alcoholic content and mouth feel. I might become a regular in the next few weeks just to get my hands on these delicious brews before they disappear.
I like their tasting room a lot, there’s a ton of arcade cabinets to play and even billiards for if you get bored. There’s also ample seating at picnic benches inside, however the seating at the bar is very limited. So on a busy night good luck getting a drink. I think NCBC has some flaws, but they also have a few saving graces. Every once in a while they hit something out of the park and make a truly amazing beer. Sometimes it’s worth being a fan for that.

Awesome brewery, awesome tour by Steve, very chill vibe and I loved how when I closed my tab the bartender said «Thanks for hanging out with us today.» I’ll deff need to go back! :)

Neshaminy Creek brewery is located in an industrial park type setting. There are two big garage doors they open which gives the place an open air feel. The inside is essentially the brewery and warehouse with the bar setup as an island in the front of the space. This is not that uncommon of a setup for some of the breweries I’ve visited over the years. They however raise the bar by having a some nostalgic video games, pool, air hockey and foosball tables. There are picnic table to sit down and enjoy a beer or you can sit at the bar. Overall its a great place to hang out and have a beer and have some fun.
The service is quickly and friendly. Oh, yeah the beer is good.

I am a beer drinker and I make it my business to check out the local breweries, so this one has been on my to-​do-​list for some time. Upon arriving, I enjoyed the open space of the place and the arcade games.
Neshaminy Creek has some good beer and I like the art work on the bottles. I enjoyed the County Line IPA & The Shape of Hops To Come. I found the bartender friendly and knowledgeable and he offered samples of most of the beers I was curious about.
If you are into new, fresh beers that are local, give Neshaminy Creek Brewery a try.
Note: Be aware — they don’t serve food, at least this is how it was when I visited.

This is one of those places that I’ve been wanting to check out forever. A couple years back I tried their County Line IPA and Pumpkin Dunkel and was a big fan of both. When I found out that they released one of their more popular small batch IPAs, The Shape of Hops to Come, I made it a point to come here.
The set up here is pretty rad. It’s a big open garage with a bar, some picnic tables, and arcade games/​foosball/​air hockey. On certain days of the week, they even have a rotating food truck parked out front, movie nights, and bands. Needless to say, these guys are keeping pretty busy.
I sampled their Croydon Cream Ale and Blitzkrieg Hops as well as the 2 IPAs listed above. I was a pretty big fan of everything I tried. I even bought a 4 pack of Shapes and a bomber bottle of their Concrete Coffee Imperial Vanilla Porter. My one minor complaint is that there was no price on the bomber bottle and it ended up costing close to $ 25. Their gift shop is in another room, away from the brewery and there was no one in there to ask and purchases are made at the bar inside the brewery. I probably wouldn’t have bought it knowing it was that expensive but there’s no doubt in my mind that it will be delicious.
If you’re looking to spend a few hours at a brewery, then this is the place to do it. Just make sure that you come on a cool day. My air hockey game got pretty intense and I was sweating bullets by the end of it.

Neshaminy creek brewing! I used to love you! Back when you were a tiny brewery and you looked more a store than a brew house.
Pros: They do have some good beers. I personally like variety though and I don’t feel like they have a lot. Also, I used to really like the cream ale and the last two times o got it (in and out of the brewery) I regretted it. I don’t think I’ll order it again.
Food trucks: they have food trucks outside. Yum!
Cons:
I hate the way it looks now. It’s like an industrial frat house. Seriously, that’s how it feels to me. And maybe I’m wrong but I have yet to have a positive experience with its new layout.
They stop serving flights at weird hours. Who doesn’t like a flight? Why? I actually don’t get the reason for this
They have the same beer each times I’ve gone there and I’m done. I want something new.
Oh and a side note, the bathroom is gross. Or at least it was the last time I used it. Just clean it, please. People are drinking beer. They will have to use the restroom. It doesn’t take that much effort.

NC J.A.W.N. is my beer of choice this summer, so we went to check out the brewery this weekend. there was a really fun crowd during our sunday-​afternoon visit … they had some FIFA world cup large-​screen video-​game tournament going on and people were really into it, which made for a lively vibe.
all the beers here are good but NC shines brightest when it comes to IPAs. the standard county line is great … the semi annual imperial, the shape of hops to come, is even better … and the double blitzkrieg hops is also solid (and has the best label).
everything about this place is laid back with zero frills, but if you’re down for a casual day of drinking quality beer, come. (bring your dog!)

NCBC provided for a very hoppy Sunday afternoon. The «flight of the day» included a pale and three DIPAs, and for $ 4/​flight, you couldn’t beat the value.
Three of the four beers were new-​to-​me, and it was the first time I was able to try the JAWN on tap too, so that was nice. Also enjoyed the Blitzkrieg Hops and a Good Problem to Have (brewery exclusive), but the Shape of Hops to Come was my top choice of the day. I could’ve had a whole glass of that one instead and have been happy!
NCBC is right across the river from Jersey and easy to access. Their brewery/​sitting area is all open, expansive and bright. I hear they sometimes have food trucks, but they didn’t yesterday (maybe because it was a Sunday).
My only qualm is that the guy working the bar made a comment about how slow I was drinking my flight. Apparently having a conversation and sipping my samples (especially since it was my second brewery visit of the day) meant that I didn’t like the beer. Okay, then.
Nonetheless, this place is definitely on my to-​return list. There’s still so many others to try!

This is the most fun you will have at a brewery!
I haven’t been to a bar in a long time with table soccer, air hockey, and vintage video games like this place has. Throw in some high level craft beer and a knowledgeable and fun staff and you have a recipe for a good time.
My only «complaint» is they had so many beers on tap, I had to order two different samplers to try all the beers. I particularly liked the lager and IPA, very happy. They also had a two year old burboun aged offering, which is definitely worth a try.
My only complaint is the restroom was not very clean.

I visited here on the way back from a trip to the Poconos. They have a great beer selection at very low prices.
They also have food trucks because there’s no kitchen on site — when I was there it was Mucho Bueno which was delicious.
The place itself was very clean and the staff were polite and knowledgeable.

NCBC offers an excellent range of beers on a flight for an excellent price. Visiting them helped me realize how big of a difference having a beer directly from the source could change my opinion of it. County Line IPA fresh from the tap at the brewery was so much better than having it any where else, and helped the can’s artwork (pine vs. citrus) a better context that I wasn’t getting before.
I was also lucky to be there while their artist for the cans was working on a mural within the brewery.

$ 4 flghts?! Love it here! When our office was down the street, we use to go on Fridays during lunch. The downside, no food. But we can bring our own food in, or get delivery from one of the local pizza places. I suggest picking up Croydon Pizza before you head here! It’s right around the corner, they don’t deliver but It’s the best pizza in the area. NCBC has food trucks on Saturdays, events/​games always going on. It’s such a great place to meet up with friends, or a nice little Saturday Fun Day. The beers are all delicious. Personal favorite, pumpkin punkless dunkel during the Fall.

It was a nice crowd. Nice beer options. Also dog friendly!
Taco truck was cool. Video games, pool table, and foozball table on site too.
Generally a fun atmosphere. Music was kind of stuck on ska– not a fan. It was also kind of cold in there.

Did a self guided brewery tour in this area with 6 or 7 others. This was stop one and we were there when they opened at noon on Saturday January 17^th. We would have happy to skip the other stops and stay here all day, but we were on a mission.
Great beer selections, great atmosphere with classic arcade games, pool table and Foosball table. They were expecting a food truck but it was scheduled to arrive after we left. They were also setting up some live music, but again, we were on a mission.
This is a great place to spend a cold winter afternoon. Wish I was closer, but am glad I can get their beers in my area.
I’ll definitely make the trip again.

Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company was new on my radar (and is relatively new to the scene), but I had been dying to go ever since I found a six-​pack of their County Line IPA on sale at the liquor store.
My friend and I missed the tour times, but the large door to their warehouse was open, so we peeked in to see a copious amount of casks for aging the beer, with the brewing rig near the back. We walked into the tasting room instead, which was very small and cave-​like, and I proceeded to try every brew on tap. Other than the County Line IPA, I also really impressed by their Cream Ale. Definitely try that if you are there. I was quite happy to get so much beer (and for free), that I ended up buying a shirt – reasonably priced at $ 15. The beer was rep assumed my friend and I knew absolutely nothing about beer, which irked me a bit, but he was friendly otherwise.
This brewery has some room for growth and improvement and I am really interested to see where they go in the next few years. I will be back periodically, especially as the tasting room is currently free.
