PENNSYLVANIA - The team at PhillyBite Magazine and WherePhilly is excited to report that a longtime regional favorite has officially returned. Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant is opening its doors once again across Pennsylvania and Delaware, marking a fresh chapter for the beloved brewpub chain.
The "Reborn Better" Vision
With a new "Reborn Better" initiative, Iron Hill is refocusing on what made the brand a local staple. The leadership team is dedicated to returning the business to its roots, delivering world-class craft beer, fresh-from-scratch food, and a genuinely welcoming neighborhood brewpub experience.
Reopened Locations
Iron Hill successfully reopened five key locations throughout the spring and early summer of 2026, bringing their signature thoughtful food pairings and craft drafts back to the following communities:

Leadership Driving the Change
Matt Gundrum, Director of Brewery Operations, is driving this renewed direction. Starting at Iron Hill in 2006 as a server and bartender before climbing the ranks into brewery leadership, Gundrum's goal is straightforward: bring the brand back to its roots through exceptional beer, fresh-from-scratch cooking, and highly knowledgeable, attentive service.
Joining him is Walter Weddington, who provides critical insight into enhancing the brand's overall hospitality and culinary experience. Together, their vision focuses on reconnecting with local communities and ensuring that every guest experiences the high standards that Iron Hill stands for today.
