Hemauer Brewing Co., Mechanicsburg PA

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.

We are here from Kansas. Hemauer was next to our hotel. Bartender she was AWESOME. Beer and food were great.

Absolutely phenomenal microbrewery that brews all types of beer (pilsner, lager, IPA, porter, seltzer, stout, etc). The owner, Brooks, is there slinging beers & food along with his very friendly & helpful staff. I love that they remember your name & what you like to drink & eat when visiting. They own a food truck that makes chips & dip, tots, soft pretzels, paninis, sausage subs, sandwiches, etc. They've got brunch on the weekends & non-alcoholic drink options are always available. Most of the beer they sell is house-made but they also have 2 guest taps, 2 wine taps, adult slushies & 4-5 mixed drinks. You can get beer to go (4 packs & crowlers) along with curbside pickup. It's easy to see that they put their heart & soul into brewing beer!

Great beer and atmosphere! Happy to see another local brewery in Central PA; can't wait to come back!

Nice brewery. Tried several beers and they were all good. Come check this place out!

The atmosphere in this place is amazing! The beer is great, the floors and tables (and bathrooms!) are super clean, and the food is good! It's a "small town bar" feel in the middle of a growing town and I always feel so welcomed in!

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!
