Join us in congratulating Ship Bottom Brewery who officially opens its Blendery and Barrel House located at 5 Park Ave in Swarthmore, PA. Brewing for this new location will be lead by famed Pennsylvania brewer Hannah Gohde.
While customers will be able to purchase all of Ship Bottom’s core traditional beers, as well as new releases, the concept of this new space will be a “Blendery”. Opening as a blendery means they will not have wort production equipment, but instead will get the wort from an offsite location or a contract brewery.
The experience will be all about the beer and unique barrel-aged creations. This will not be a sports bar or garage door brewery setting, but a cozy barrel-aged conversation piece. Barrel-aged beer is deeply appreciated by the most discerning of consumers who have an affinity for barrel-aged libations.
The brewery plans to work with everything from bourbon to red wine and tequila barrels and will also produce Koelschip spontaneous fermentation brands as well. The blendery will also serve some of Ship Bottom’s most popular brands such as Shack IPA, Hop & Hazy, Barnegat Lager, Swell Dorado, Mermaid Blonde, Hard Cider, Seltzers, select seasonals, and limited release products.
“This project is very unique from other projects that we have done in the past. The focal point and the fermentation process whether in wooden or spirited barrels. We will have a blast developing funky sours, Saison’s & barrel-aged stouts for our friends to enjoy. We will use a lot of local ingredients in our concoctions We are looking forward to harvesting a yeast culture from different locations in our Borough” says Ship Bottom owner Rob Zarko.
The Deleware County location will officially open Friday, February 25th starting at 3:00 PM. And be sure to follow the brewery on Instagram to keep up with updates on this location.
