Rebel Hill Brewing Company is expanding and opening another location in downtown Phoenixville. The brewery will open this new spot at 240 Bridge Street, in what many beer fans will remember as the former Crowded Castle Brewing location. This new location is expected to be open by mid-summer.

This 5,000 sq/ft building is located in the heart of town and will complement Rebel Hill’s original location just up the street at 420 Schuylkill Rd. Suite 100. The 420 taproom at Westside will be open as usual, and the brewery has some big plans in the future for this space, including adding a wood fire kitchen to where the existing brewery was.

In this new space, the brewery will be able to double its capacity with a brand new 10 BBL brewhouse with eight 10 BBL fermenters. They will also be taking delivery of a 10 BBL Foeder for Saisons, two 10 BBL horizontal lagering tanks, and will be installing a canning line. With the increased output of beer, Rebel Hill will also be looking to expand distribution in 2023.

The location currently has a 16-person, 14-tap bar, space for 27 tables, and seating for around 90. They will also be adding 2 hand pumps at the bar for cask ales, and 2 side-pull taps for lagers. The current kitchen will be expanded, and Rebel Hill will be serving a wide range of elevated pub food, with items such as smash burgers and wings.⁣ There will also be seating on the sidewalk and space for about 10 tables.

The town of Phoenixville has been blocking off Bridge street on weekends in the summer and allowing bars, breweries, and restaurants to put tables in the streets. Look for Rebel Hill to participate in this, as well as some pop-up events outside on the sidewalk after Memorial Day, while they work hard to renovate the space.

We will of course follow up with the brewery once they have a date for the grand opening. In the meantime, keep up with the taproom progress by following Rebel Hill on both Facebook and Instagram.
