According to founder and VP of Beer Mark Edelson, the path to opening Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant's Lehigh Valley outpost was paved with careful preparation and a great deal of research. The mix of possible new and existing brand awareness, along with the lively population in the neighborhood, had a role in the selection. With its built-in audience and proximity to area attractions, the Lehigh Valley Mall was considered the perfect location for Iron Hill's development. “We feel like we've been welcomed with open arms,” Edelson says. The restaurant has something for everyone, with offerings ranging from beer-inspired menu items like the Drunk Monk Burger and the Beer-Brined Pork Chop to vegetarian options like the Kennett Square Mushroom Soup, Tuscan Vegetable Flatbread and Spent Grain Beer Bread with Chive Butter. “Those who want to splurge and be decadent can go for the Beer-Battered Fish and Chips or our Baby Back Ribs,” Edelson suggests. He calls the Vienna Red Lager one of their best-selling craft beers—find it in some of their most popular food items—and says locals love Steel Works American IPA, the location's hometown tap. They're looking forward to serving more local offerings in the future!
