Craft Breweries Near AmishView

• Rumspringa Brewing Company, 3174 Old Philadelphia Pike, Bird in Hand, PA

Rumspringa is produced and bottled by the main brewery, Swashbuckler Brewing Company, which is on the grounds of Mount Hope Estate & Winery in Manheim. However, the nana brewery is on the second floor of the Lancaster County Beer & Wine Gallery. It’s a barnlike building and less than a half-mile from AmishView Inn & Suites (a 2-minute drive).

Here, you can taste locally made wine, beer, and ciders on draft and purchase bottles and growlers to go.

The name comes from the Amish term for a period of time when their youth (typically ages 14-16) are given the freedom and are no longer under the Amish church authority. During this time, some Amish youth will explore “worldly” events and activities, including dances, parties, and sometimes experimenting with alcohol.  When rumspringa ends, they must decide if they want to be baptized into the Amish church and renounce such activities.  Rumspringa is not practiced by all Amish groups, however.

Note:  Tastings only at this time: 5 wine samples, 5 brew samples; Open 11-5 Wednesday through Sunday. Takeout available.

• Smokehouse BBQ & Brews at Plain & Fancy Farm, 3121 Old Philadelphia Pike, Bird in Hand, PA

Enjoy smoked turkey, chicken, or pork barbecue cooked low and slow, while sipping on handcraft brews at this local favorite. Even better: It’s within walking distance!

Although not a brewery itself, Smokehouse gathers some of the best craft beer offerings from nearby towns, like I Love Lamp Pineapple Hefeweizen by Evil Genius of Philadelphia and Paideia Pale Ale by St. Boniface of Ephrata.

They also serve tasty signature cocktails and local wines.

Note: Temporarily closed. Check website for updates.

• Lancaster Brewing Company Taproom, 2323 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, PA

The main brewery is in the city of Lancaster, but their taproom is just a 17-minute drive, where they offer popular, locally brewed craft beers including Milk Stout, Strawberry Wheat, Hop Hog IPA, and the Double Chocolate Stout. An ample food menu is also available, and their wagyu meatloaf has achieved rave reviews online.

Lancaster Brewing Company was among the first craft breweries in the area. It’s committed to local, sustainably grown products and produces more than 30 specialty, seasonal, and all-year ales and lagers. The menu changes as they try to use fresh, local cheeses, meats, and other items grown and raised on Lancaster County farms.

Note: Closed Jan. 13-17; Reopens Jan. 20. Indoor dining, to-go beer, curbside pickup.

There are plenty of other craft breweries throughout Lancaster County and its surrounding areas. View this online Ale Trail listing for the most up-to-date information.
