Located at the end of a dead end street, in a neighborhood. Pretty bare bones tap room, games, very family friendly. Good selection of taps, flights available. Business ebbed and flowed on a Saturday afternoon.

Bare bones industrial style, with a food cart outside and picnic table seating both inside and outside. If you like that style, then it's great. When we visited, the food cart had Vietnamese food, which was excellent. My only complaint, such as it is, is that the website did not accurately reflect which beers were available. I had the impression from the website that "Falconry Club," the brewery's Grodziskie style beer, was available. I very much wanted to try it since I had never had the style and I like smoked beers. Predictably, I guess, there was no Falconry Club, and the lady behind the bar did not remember having seen it for at least a month. So--make sure you call ahead, especially if you want to try a featured special issue beer. It's quite possible it will not be available. And certainly call ahead` if you're trekking over from the other side of Philly (as we did). btw Neshaminy Creek State Park is nearby, and well worth a visit: from the shore you can see the confluence of the Neshaminy and the Delaware. And downtown Philly is visible in the distance. Wonderful!

The brewery is located in an industrial building in a small town north of Philadelphia, off Route 95. The tasting room is large and airy with high ceilings. During our visit, a football game was projected against a wall. There are numerous picnic-style tables and a pool table. The bar area is spacious and there's a cooler for can purchases. The facility has a true industrial feel. The vibe is great with lots of locals stopping in for pours or to purchase cans. The staff is very friendly. I don't believe the brewery serves food but there was a food truck parked outside. The Shape of Hops to Come is one of my favorite DIPAs and I enjoyed it at the source. I also had a Pastry Stout that was well made and enjoyable. I'm glad to have finally visited Neshaminy Creek. I'll continue to buy their beers here in New Jersey and hope to visit the brewery again with friends.

I would give this place a 5 star rating, except that they are often closed for private events without warning. You check their website (don't bother calling, they don't answer even when they are there), see no special events planned, drive all the way out, and are turned away at the door. I'm a regular, but looking for a new brewery...three strikes and you're out.
How hard is it to put "Closed for private event" on the calendar on your website??

DOG FRIENDLY : ) Good beer, from nice people. Pool, ping pong, air hockey, arcade games, large tables, large projector screen, and a bar. Fun place.

Awesome vibe here great place to grab some beers and hang, they have lots of games to play and it helps that it is the closest brewery to my house. However all of their good beers (in my opinion) are constantly kicked. I also feel like the people here are a little cocky in the sense that they think they have a better brewery then they actually do. Love this place they have great beers and I love coming here in the summer. But they have a few kinks they can work on.

Large inside. Colorful murals are very well down. Games and lots of seating. Huge brew house that they hold concerts and flea markets in as well. Awesome place.

I love this beer . I had it 2 years ago and couldn't wait for the release 2016!!! The brewery opened at 12 and of course I got there at 10 and was 3rd in line. I got my 2 bottles and was happy to have them then sit at the bar and have one on tap . Wow such and amazing beer and dosent dissapoint.
nice think dark tan head . Roasted malt, chocolate, creamy. Just a beautiful beer and I feel lucky to be so close to this fantastic brewery. I actually went with my brother and mom so we got 6 22oz bottles and went back the next day and got 2 more to age but there not gonna last a week !
If you can find this one get it cause it will be a long 2 years!!! CHEERS

Kind of out of the way place, located in a blue collar neighborhood. Very nice and chill people. People that work there are very nice and love talking about beer. Got to chat with one of the brewmasters about the place and was really cool. Arcade games and a projector TV. They have all of their year round seasonal beers as well as their experimental batches. Their steam beer is amazing. The tap room and brewery is all in one big room in the warehouse. Love this place, worth checking out!

I was very disappointed in my trip to this brewing company. I traveled two hours to get there only to end up leaving after an hour. We were not greeting upon entering, there was no description of their beer offerings, and the bar tender was too busy texting on his phone to spend any time answering our questions about the different types of beer.
They also do not offer flights, which is odd. Neither my friend or I felt comfortable in that place. It felt like if we didn't know walking in the door what we wanted to drink, we were out of luck. I do not plan on returning again. I did taste 5oz of Shape of Hops to Come and felt for me, it was too bitter. However, I cannot accurately rate the beer because the overall experience with the staff was so awful that I didn't get to taste any other beer. After sitting at the bar with my empty glass for over 5 mins watching the bartender text and wait on people who knew exactly what they wanted, I asked to pay my tab and left.

One of the best experiences I've ever had at a brewery. We had a lot of trouble getting there because of construction and some less than helpful flag wavers, but the guys were super helpful and patient in getting us in for some tasters. Lots of space and games to play, great music and great staff. Beer ranged from very solid to great, and in a number of styles. Highly recommended.

Great brew pub in Croydon. Growler fills and tasting flights. The shape of hops to come is the next great DIPA. Grab a can if you can. Try the juicy JAWN too.
