Craft beer fans, take note: Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant is hosting the 13th annual Brandywine Valley Craft Brewers’ Festival at its location in Media on Saturday, May 18, from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. The event will showcase the latest offerings from more than 25 regional breweries, with all proceeds being donated to the Media Youth Center.
“Over the past 13 years, we’ve poured and tasted some very special beers at the Festival—appropriately, during American Craft Beer Week. It’s our way of celebrating the culture and contributions of craft beer while also giving back to our community,” says Mark Edelson, Iron Hill Director of Brewing Operations.
Invited breweries include Appalachian Brewing Company, Bethlehem (Fegley’s) Brew Works, Flying Fish Brewing Company, Lancaster Brewing Company, Old Forge Brewing Company, Prism Brewing Company, Rock Bottom Brewery, Round Guys Brewery, Ship Bottom Brewery, Sly Fox Brewhouse and Eatery, Stewart’s Brewing Company, Stoudt’s Brewing Company, Tired Hands Brewing Company, Triumph Brewing Company, Troegs Brewery, Twin Lakes Brewing Company, Victory Brewing Company and Weyerbacher Brewing Company.

The rain-or-shine event will include unlimited beer tastings and live music; food will be provided by Iron Hill and will be available for purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis. All proceeds will be donated to the Media Youth Center, which provides a safe environment and a wide array of recreational and educational programs for area youth. Since its inception, the Brandywine Valley Craft Brewers’ Festival has generated more than $140,000 for the Center.
Tickets, $45 per person, are available online. Advance ticket purchase is strongly suggested, as this event often sells out early. Remaining tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for $50 per person at the door. Designated driver tickets are $5 per person.
