Spinnerstown Hotel Restaurant and Tap Room

THE BREW

For close encounters of the beer kind, head for Spinnerstown’s comfortable and spacious Tap Room – complete with bottle shop. John Dale, third-generation owner of this historic hub of hospitality, pours his passion for craft brews into a stellar selection of 17 rotating taps and 350-plus bottled beers. Beer enthusiasts can explore seasonal and hard-to-find specialties, enjoy tap-takeovers and tasting events, or pair a pint with the bar’s scrumptious pub fare.

THE DECK

A rustic barn-roof over the spacious deck gives any meal a country feel. Chef Ricky Heinrich’s eclectic farm-fresh menu – with changing specials – puts a twist on tradition with such homey comforts as Blackened Shrimp with house-made pasta, signature Hunter’s Pork with sweet potato gnocchi, and juicy burgers and frites. Inventive fare and trend-setting brews attract crowds to memorable beer dinners hosted here.
