USA, PA: The Brewery at Hershey to open in August

The Brewery at Hershey is preparing to fill its first bottle, pennlive.com reported on May, 18.

Partner Jason Reimer said that the business, which already includes The Vineyard at Hershey, has been approved by the Liquor Control Board. “We're looking at a grand opening of the brewery around the first weekend of August and we could be doing a soft opening in July. We'll be brewing beer within two to three weeks now," Reimer added.

Reimer said the new building on the property outside Middletown, is almost completed. Winemaker L. Paul Vezzetti and brew master Ryan DeLutis will share the ground floor of that building. The brewpub will be located upstairs.

Beer and wine tastings will be permitted in the winery, but customers only will be permitted to buy the beer in the brewpub and brewery. The brewery is planning to start by producing four types of beer, including Watermelon Wheat.
