    Shrimp tacos
    Chris J.

    Nice atmosphere, friendly waitresses and staff, very clean restaurant. Food was definitely very good. Service was fast. 5 stars if the menu had a bit more to choose from. But definitely worth the visit !

    Inside

    Stopped here after Cabelas for a quick bite. The burgers were great and came out as I ordered. Cheese curds were liked by everyone. The beer selection was large. Our server was great. Friendly and knew the menu. The inside was large, clean and had an open feeling. I did not expect such a large place walking in from a small town and small store front.

    Along with the tacos, be sure to enjoy some Brussels and buffalo chicken dip! Our server Kayla was delightful and all smiles! The building is from the 1800's. The renovations mixed in with the old architecture cements the historic yet chill vibes. Oh, the beer is delicious too!

    Nice dog friendly place! The friendly waitress brought out a bowl of water for our dog to drink from. What a nice touch. The fried cheese curds were very tasty. They are burgers were what they called smash burgers, but in reality they were two thick patties. I would say they were good but not exceptional. They were served with potato chips. We ordered a side of fries to share, but probably need not have done so. They had a nice beer selection, and they had an array of glass sizes ranging from 5 ounces on up.

    Cool open air front to enjoy the great list of microbrews or one of the specialty drinks spiked with local hooch! The menu is brief but covers all the bases: burgers, tacos, flatbread pizza & a basket of fries! Start yourself off with some Buffalo chicken dip or a big pretzel! Great place for a group of friends to hang out! This is not a fine dining establishment, it's just simple done right!

    Great atmosphere in this small town brewery. The Vibe is very laid-back and the staff are extremely friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel welcomed.

    If you are a regular yelp user, as I am, you've had your success stories and you're not so great recommendations by using stars and ratings. The 1787 brewing company was one of the best ones I've had. We were on the highway looking for a place to stop. Our thinking was going through Hamburg Pennsylvania we should stop for a hamburger! 1787 was the top rated place for burgers in the Hamburg area. We were traveling with the dog and so I called ahead to see if it was OK to sit outside with a dog. They said of course! When we arrived, it was rather warm, but they had fans blowing nicely and there was plenty of space out on the patio. We ordered three different kinds of smash burgers, french fries, and fried cheese curds. Of the three categories, the cheese curds were probably the best. The burgers were solid, not bad, but not something to get very excited about. I was pleased, though, that the meat was not over cooked! I had The come back burger. But wished I had tried the all American. The fries were fine, they were a little over cooked. Yes we're getting picky here ;-). The service was excellent. Our server look like she had a lot of tables and managed to stay very friendly and even fawned all over our dog. The other patrons were also friendly. It makes a big difference when you stop in a small town and feel welcomed. We sure did. As we were driving on the highway, we did not sample a lot of the beers; however, they had a very good selection, and fortunately for us, at a variety of glass sizes. They even had one as small as 5 ounces. It was actually the glass they use for their tasting flights. But it was perfect to have a taste rather than a giant glass of beer. If you're looking for a hamburger in Hamburg, this is the place for you!

    When we arrived we had a short wait but were seated within 15 minutes. Our server came to our table quickly and asked about our tastes for beer and when we said we were going to each get a flight offered suggestions that met both of our tastes (I'm more of a hophead and she likes the lighter stuff to lagers). The beer is of good quality with a couple standout brews. On to the food, they have a limited menu which can be a great thing. Theydon't have a grill but an oven they make their burgers in. They only come cooked one way and the one I had was bland but had a great cheese on it which made up for the lack of seasoning on the actual burger for the most part. The tater tots I ordered as an appetizer were honestly the best thing out of everything we ordered. They were crispy and the toppings were on point. If your looking for a good meal in the area with good craft beer this is a solid choice. I will return to see what they do with their menu as it seems to be ever changing from what the staff told us. Stopped in last Sunday for a late lunch and had one of the most incredible wraps ever. The chicken was perfect pair with feta and olives it had a wonderful Greek flavor but with and interesting pesto that made it a home run. They have also added a new sour that contains an insane amount of blackberries which was probably the best sour I've tasted or at least a very close second. The service was excellent and and they have really gotten in stride as the food and service now equals the quality of the beers they brew.

    Nice decor and atmosphere, good food and just OK beer. That about sums it up. I really wanted to love this place because of the decor: from the open-air fire pit up front and wood and stone motif throughout, but everything else fell a little short. The beers were a little weak and flat, most of the similar beers tasted too similar to each other (the IPS tasted alike, the stouts tasted alike, etc., not enough difference to distinguish them). Most of them tasted a bit flat as well. Im going to chalk this up to being a young brewery, only open for several months at the time we visited. Hopefully this will improve over time, as ive heard this same complaint from a number of people that went there for the first time. The food was pretty good, slightly better than typical bar food, which it should be for a brewery. The note on the menu for the burgers almost stopped me from ordering one, as i like medium rare, but the burger came out better and less cooked that well :"~ALL BURGERS ARE COOKED JUICY AND WELL-DONE by our patented UNOX machine." The pretzel was really good too. Street parking is limited and can be tight, especially on the weekends. We plan on going back after a few more months to see if this place has aged and matured a bit. If the beer gets better, this place will surely be a winner, especially for the area. Hamburg is a small town, and they could really use a nice, successful restaurant to attract the locals and out of towners.

    This place is phenomenal. If you are acquainted with the fundamentals of the craft beer scene of…read moreCentral Pennsylvania, you know and love Troegs, their solid IPAs and world-changing Mad Elf series. A visit to the brewery provides fresh pours of the classics as well as a host of specialty brews (e.g., bourbon barrel-aged Mad Elf Grand Cru, which is nothing short of magical). Many of these brews are high-octane. Handily, Troegs also serves food - and it's not the typical compliment of fried bar nibbles. The menu offers a wide and changing variety of dishes of all sizes that are damn near gourmet (e.g., braised short rib, duck confit, crab lasagna). The Bavarian pretzels with beer cheese is an obvious must. And I like the way they do payment. After you sit down, a member of the wait staff will find you, take your name, credit card, and (first) beer order, after which you can just give your name to the bar or snack bar and they will add order(s) to your tab. Also, epic gift shop (that sells beer and all related things).

    I went to lunch here with 3 friends and the staff members were very nice. The menu had lies of…read morethings I don't like and a few things I do like. You give a credit card to your server and that opens the tab. You go to the "snack" counter to order but drinks are brought by a server. Water is self service. After you place your order you get an alarm square (like Panera) and then you pick up your food and silverware and water. Two of us ordered the BBQ brisket sandwich. It came with cole slaw and Bbq sauce and a side of fries. Dining partner really liked the brisket and said it was so tender. I asked for the bbq sauce on the side and I'm glad I did because it was a vinegar base sauce. I didn't like it at all. I found the brisket to be a little too fatty and not well seasoned. The slaw in the sandwich wasn't seasoned either. I was disappointed. Both of us thought the fries were meh. Not hot enough and not crispy. Mine were kind of soggy. Diner 3 got grilled cheese. It was a sandwich in thick bread and came with a side of marinara sauce. She said the sandwich was good. Diner 4 got the Mediterranean plate. Hummus, tabuli, zucchini fritters and tahini. She graciously offered me tastes. The tabuli was really good and the zucchini was prepared like felafel. They were ok. The pita triangles looked good. I didn't try anything else. The other diners all ordered sodas which came with twist off caps in small bottles. They liked the sodas. Overall, the food was ok. There is a gift shop with a variety of merchandise and lots of beer for sale. I asked if the beers and 'cocktails' were available as singles rather than 6 packs. And I was offered a taste. I chose the freaky fruity cherry limeade cocktail. It had too much of the taste of hops for me. The server said it's not made with hops but on the same equipment and although it was tasty, I couldn't get past the taste if hops. Not something I like. The place is nice looking, people were very nice, the menu just didn't work for me.
