Iron Hill Brewery

Today, I had the opportunity to visit the Iron Hill Brewery for lunch while I am out in West Chester (work related off-site testing). The brewery / restaurant was excellent! Great food and even better beer. While being a weirdo and taking pictures of the brewery, one of the brew masters inside asked me if I wanted to come in. So, I chatted with the 2 brew masters at Iron Hill for about 20 minutes. They were making a special spicy Wheat beer concoction that contained Grains of Paradise (also used in my Sam Adams Summer Ale clone recipie). I mentioned to them about the beers I have fermenting in my basement and said I used the Grains of Paradise for the Summer Ale. This was the first time the guys at Iron Hill were using them, so they were curious how much I used and how the batch tasted. Sadly, I could only comment on the raw taste (which was awesome) because the beer is still young (1 week into bottle conditioning). Below are some pictures of the Iron Hill brewery...
