Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company is a brewery founded in 2010 in the town of Croydon in lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA. It is considered to be the first production brewery in the county, and borders the city of Philadelphia.[citation needed]
History
[edit]Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company was founded in 2010, and is currently owned by Rob Jahn, Steve Capelli, and Jenna Ball. It takes its name from the nearby creek of the same name, from which it draws water for its beer.[1] The facility itself, located at 909 Ray Avenue, officially opened on June 1, 2012.[3] In 2013, the Churchville Lager won a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival.[4] In 2016, Neshaminy Creek won two bronze medals at the Great American Beer Festival for Churchville Lager and Croydon is Burning. In 2021, Croydon is Burning was awarded a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival in the category of smoked beer, out of 73 entries.[5] In May 2022, the Warehouse Lager placed first at the World Beer Cup in the "International Pilsener or International Lager" category, out of 231 entries.[6][7]
Neshaminy Creek has grown exponentially over the years and expanded distribution across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and New York. In summer 2020, Neshaminy Creek opened another location inside the Ferry Market located in New Hope, Pennsylvania, where guests can purchase on-site pints and beer to-go.
