Hurry in to Iron Hill Brewery Lancaster, PA


This autumn, ever-popular beer and dining destination- Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant is offering guests a hearty, two-course Oktoberfest Menu at all seven of its award-winning locations. This special meal will be available from September 15 until October 31, and costs $19.95. Each course pairs with one of Iron Hill’s handcrafted beers, available in 10 oz. draughts for $2.50 each.
“For brewers, Oktoberfest is one of the highlights of our year, an age-old tradition that began in Germany and is now one of the most exciting beer events in the world,” says Director of Brewing Operations, Mark Edelson. “We love all aspects of beer culture, and this is such a natural way to celebrate by combining our two favorite things: great food and great beer.”
The first course of the Oktoberfest Menu is a Grilled Sausage Platter, with bratwurst, knockwurst, braised lentils, watercress and a stone-ground mustard drizzle. Iron Hill suggests their Vienna Red Lager, an amber Austrian lager with bread-y malt aroma and flavor and a crisp, clean finish as an ideal complement to the flavorful sausages. The entrée is a Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin, with Yukon gold smashed potatoes, beer braised cabbage, house-made apple sauce and gingersnap gravy, paired with Oktoberfest, a seasonal, full-bodied amber lager with firm malt flavor, balanced with mild bitterness and a clean, dry finish.
Sweet T and I shared this dinner today. I love Iron Hill's Oktoberfest brew and also enjoyed their Vienna Red lager. The staff was excellent and even prepared separate plates for our sharing. There was a bad restaurant review in the local Lancaster Sunday News but we found the review unfounded and love Iron Hill. Get to Iron Hill before this Friday and try this wonderful special.
