Neshaminy Creek Brewing Co. to Open New Taproom in Harleysville

Tony Di Domizio | North Penn Now•

A brewery and taproom established in 2012 in Bristol Township, Bucks County has decided Harleysville will be its third taproom location.

The award-winning Neshaminy Creek Brewing Co. announced on its Facebook Friday morning that it will open in late Spring at the former Harleysville National Bank on Sumneytown Pike near Maple Avenue in Lower Salford Township.

Neshaminy Creek will take up about 3,100 square feet inside the 82,000-square-foot bank, built in 1929.

"We are particularly stoked to be taking over the old Harleysville National Bank that was originally constructed in 1929 with some beautiful stone architecture. This place has some really cool features and will be part of a mixed-use complex that’ll include a variety of eateries, retail shops, office space, and potentially some residential space,” stated the Facebook post.

Kyle Park, Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company’s director of sales and marketing, said the business has been looking for another space to open a third taproom as way to make direct connections with customers and continue to build the Neshaminy Creek community right in their backyard.

"This Harleysville project caught our eye because we love being part of the resurgence of town centers and providing a place for people to come together. Jenna Ball, one of co-owners and CEO, grew up not far from Harleysville and still has a lot of family in the area so it was especially appealing to her,” Park said.

Redevelopment of the bank property, which was bought by 480 Park Inv LLC for $5.7 million from VV483 LLC (Velocity Venture Partners) in February 2023, will comprise two detached buildings across a seven-acre campus, per the post.

"We’ll be bringing a little of our personality and plenty of fresh beer to this vibrant new community center in the heart of the family oriented, historic area of Montgomery County and can’t wait to share a few pints with you later this year,” said the post.

Park said the new Harleysville location should have a similar atmosphere to its taproom in Dublin, which opened in 2021.

"(We) have enjoyed seeing a community grow around since then as that area has gone through a bit of its own resurgence. This is part of a larger project and we're excited to see what other local businesses join us throughout the campus,” he said.
