Hemauer Brewing Co. - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Friday night we had the best time at Hemauer Brewing Co! Amazing live music good food (I’m a sucker for jumbo pretzels, and their aioli was great) and the BEST espresso martinis! Their regular one was fantastic, but I couldn’t resist trying the chocolate peanut butter one too😊 (and try the pumpkin pizza… sounds weird, tastes like heaven)

Fantastic hole in the wall bar with good atmosphere, live bands, and micro brew beer.

Pros: Some of the best home brew level beer I've ever had. Easily rivaling any local brewery and approaching more well known brands like troegs. Below average beer pricing. Very friendly and personable staff (who also own/operate the place). Live entertainment: local small time artists, but very good.

Cons: Very small place with limited seating, though this could easily be in the pro category depending on your taste. Very limited menu, only pizzas. I really want to give 5 stars because this is a truly special place.

Recently found this place and instantly fell in love. The neighborhood/local community bar feel really drew me in. This truly is a diamond in the rough.

We stopped in because of the great reviews but we were pretty disappointed. We were convinced to get the espresso martini and perhaps should have stuck to beer. It tasted like watered down coffee and you couldn’t even taste any alcohol in it. They pull their own shots of espresso but it doesn’t seem like it is dialed in properly or something. The pretzel is just a premade frozen pretzel that was way over toasted. The cheese sauce was separated, thick and gloppy. One of the sauces seemed to just be mayo and yellow mustard mixed together? There is nothing on the walls, it really does feel like you’re in a strip mall (which you are). It was also extremelyyyyy quiet which made it kind of an awkward experience.

Hemauer Brewing Co is such a special place. The owners and staff make it feel like a classic local pub where strangers become friends and friends become family. The beer selection (both to enjoy in-house and to take home) is phenomenal. There is a style of beer for every beer drinker. If you go on a weekend make sure to try the Buffalo chicken dip! You truly cannot go wrong with Hemauer Brewing Co.

Great beer! Now that they have food, this has to be a place to go. I had the Cuban and crab dip loaded tater tots , and my wife had the crab and corn dip with fresh tortillas... So Good!

We stopped in early on a Friday night. The place was about half full. By the time we left there was live music and the place was full. Not bad for a joint in a strip mall.

The beer and cocktails were ok and reasonably priced. We ordered the beer cheese corn dip, the smashed burger and the pulled pork tacos.

For the smash burger I substituted tots for the corn chips and added bacon to the burger. The waiter went to put our order in and then came back to inform us that they were out of tots and bacon. Four of the nine appetizers were tots based.

The corn dip was not dip at all. It was a plate of stale corn chips drizzled with liquidity sauce and what appeared to be some colonels of corn, that came from a can tossed on top. When it was delivered I actually told the waiter I think he had the wrong table but he said no. This is the corn dip. I looked at it in disbelief. There was nothing "dip" about it. We did not eat it.

When the tacos came out they had no flavor and were bone dry. Disappointing.

The two patties in the smash burger were not smashed. They look like the frozen pre-made burgers you buy at a grocery store. Also a disappointment.

Service was ok, although I wish we had the guy looking guy as our waiter as her send friendly. Our guy seemed annoyed that everyone was there.

One of the best breweries in PA, period. Friendly, knowledgeable, personable, with a range of beers that will give everyone something to try. Lucky Lobsta is possibly the best house IPA in the region; smooth, hazy, hoppy and citrusy. I could talk about every one of their offerings, but I don't want to write a dissertation. Just go check them out. Get a cheese or Italian panini and a pint, or the buffalo chicken dip on Fridays & Saturdays. Get a 4-pack or bomber from the fridge to take home, or find them at RT 15 Beverage Express in Dillsburg.
