Had a nice afternoon here today! They have a good amount of beers they make in house, and options for wine and cocktails as well. The place is so nice on the inside and the staff were nice. We would definitely return! read more

They don't serve food but the food trucks always have amazing food. The service is very good. I love the look of the place. The stools are comfortable read more

I always love coming here. If it was closer to home I'd live here on weekends. Food is always food trucks. But they have always been very good. The beer is exceptional, especially if you are more old school styles. Relaxing setting, dog and family friendly. read more

NORRISTOWN, PA: When we were chatting with locals at this brewery, they asked us how we found the place because apparently it's a locals favorite and they don't get many tourists! Well, now we are putting it out there, go visit von C Brewing Co.!! They have a beautiful and modern indoor tasting room and big outdoor beer garden that allows leashed-dogs! There are over 15 beers on-tap with a nice variety and they even have an Uncle Jerry's wheat beer (Brie's Mom's favorite style and hard to find with IPAs still dominating the market). A rotating schedule of food trucks are available and you can bring your own food. They have pet adoption and other events, fundraisers, bingo nights, and nice TV's to watch the game! read more

The beer is good & they have a lot of varieties. The vibe is chill, indoors are great, very nice to sit outside when the weather is good. I like the variety of food trucks, and you can bring your own also. Kid & pet friendly! read more

Older Philadelphians remember Schmidt's Beer as a classic brew that represented the city proudly for over a century back in the day. Times and economies change and sadly there is little left of that tradition except in old photos and dusty corners of antique shops where an old metal sign can still fetch decent prices from those who fondly remember Schmidt's trucks rumbling down the narrow streets of Old City, Society Hill, the wilds of the Main Line and other small, yet evolving suburbs. Well, that DNA is alive and well in the descendants of that family who have now brought us "vonC Brewing Company" in Norristown, PA, the county seat of Montgomery County. They have ownership of a former industrial factory/warehouse and have brilliantly given it new purpose while maintaining its workaday heritage. This is what adaptive reuse is all about. In its current incarnation it has become a modern brewery with large tasting area with hightop and picnic tables in front and full blown stainless steel fermentation operation in the rear. There are floor to 18' ceiling photo murals of the old Schmidt's plant in honor of the connection between this generation of brewmeisters and the originators in the 19th Century. It is a pleasure to hang out, sample their curated list of available choices, and shoot the breeze with friends and coworkers on a Friday evening, as I just did. (I did notice that there did not appear to be any accommodations for the disabled in the tasting room, something that should be addressed.) My 10 oz. of what was described as the closest thing to the venerable Schmidt's lager, was very good and bathed in golden amber. We brought in a large Corropolese Tomato Pie to balance the alcohol intake, and I ended up spending more time with office mates than anticipated. Fair to say, a great time was had by all. read more

Pros: stunning indoor space, cool outdoor seating. Cons: none of the bartenders are engaging or friendly, the beers were okay. I think they attempt too many varieties. They should stick with a few to find their groove. If they have special events I might come back, but it doesn't give the friendly brewery vibes I enjoy. read more

Von C Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

Great drinks and they had the best food truck with pizza and wings when we went. I know they relate food trucks so we will definitely be going back to try some of the other trucks. I'm not a beer drinker, so their cider was a great option. Very crisp and not too sweet. This is a great place for some casual drinks! read more

So glad to see this in Norristown! It's a cool space- huge, industrial and pays homage to their lineage- Schmidt's. No A/C but ceiling and floor fans did the trick. Cute outdoor area as well. I'm not a beer drinker but really enjoyed the kolsch. They also have wine and cider, all from PA. Hubs had a flight- $16 for 6 and not a miss in the bunch. He then enjoyed 2 rounds of their OG Pils- a throwback to Schmidt's which uses the original yeast. No food truck today, but they'll be adding more to that rotation. It had a nice crowd at mid-day on a Saturday. I wish them well and will be back. read more

It's the opening day at Von C. The location is unique - industrial strip facing abandoned Norristown State Hospital. Kinda cool view. Inside bar, hightops and picnic tables, outside barals and picnic tables available. Since it's their "soft opening ", they have 4 beers in tap, when we got there only 2 left. We tried both, the NE IPA was pleasant, and the ESP is more complex and well balanced. Staff was very friendly and attentive, despite the fact they were overwhelmed. We plan to come back next week when they brew more. read more

10/2021: I really enjoy this place, environment, and staff. Everyone is extremely friendly. We have our own neighborhood version of "Cheers". (This reference is for those who are from the same generation as me, lol) A very welcoming, family-friendly, dog friendly environment to watch the football game. When they don't have caterers on the premises you are allowed to have food delivered. I would suggest checking with management JUST AS A COURTESY. Also, they close at 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. read more

I recently went on a Tuesday night for a fundraiser. The ambiance was beautiful inside and out, very spacious. The service was great, staff were friendly and engaging. We will definitely be back for the outdoor music and food this summer! read more

Great spot! Enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking to one of the owners - service was friendly. Great ambiance. They have food trucks on different days. Look forward to going back . read more

Von C was just what Norristown needed!! Great beers from a historic family with roots making some of the best beers in the Philadelphia area. They have done a great job at renovating the building across from the state hospital into a brewery that is both modern and classic. Strongly recommend if you are in the area! Great outdoor space and lots of fun community events - check out their Instagram! read more

Von C Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

Great atmosphere! I would say this is an excellent spot to hang out with a group of friends, maybe watch a game, and drink some IPAs. Had a flight of 6 beers (you can do 4 or 6) and the beer was good, nothing super unique or out of this world about any of them, but they were good. Love the aesthetic and detail put into the atmosphere of Von C. Also love that they offer more than just beer (wine and vodka with mixers from local distilleries and wineries). They support other local businesses such as Ana's Corner Store and food trucks to incorporate food into the brewery which I think is great too. Definitely a lot of Pros, would come back for the vibe, just not quite in love with the beer personally. read more

They really need to clean their cob webs up on their sprinkler pipes by the exterior roof windows. One fell off into my drink. Beer is good though. read more

My new favorite place I'll be a regular for sure. Several beers on tap- loved the stony creek. Super cool vibe in this place - industrial look and feel and concrete floors. Lots of bar seating indoors and a ton of room outside for seating, kids, dogs. Music outdoors. Cornhole available to play. Just a fun local place that is a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Sorry, but the staff weren't very friendly. Just saying "hello" would go a long way instead of feeling like your bothering them. Venue is nice and clean, the beer that I had was decent (cutlloose juice), not sure I would go out of my way to visit like I did today. read more

Can honestly say Von C is a top notch brewery that won't disappoint your taste buds. Family friendly as well! We go often with family!

Best beer and bartenders around. A brewery that does every style well. Good rotation of food trucks and very dog friendly. Great open outdoor space. read more

Cool place with lots of character. Beer was good and staff was very friendly. Limited food choices like many breweries, but owner provided some takeout menus and we had food delivered. Great experience. Will definitely go back. read more

Tasty beer. Pretty atmosphere. Really appreciate they are servicing a broadly underserved area.

Very welcoming staff and great outdoor activities as well as great indoor ambiance. Something for everyone, I am not a big beer drinker but loved the uncle Jerry's and cutloose joose. Also a great place to go to support local business as the caterers are local as well as the wine they have. Would definitely come again! Be aware the cornhole boards are slippery (or I'm just bad at cornhole :/). read more

Extra special spot to get an extra special brew. Staff is kind, attentive, and well versed in brew knowledge. Plenty of options for beer drinkers and non-beer drinkers. My husband and I love coming here after a long day of work or on a Sunday afternoon to kick back and relax. read more

Great spot. Travelled a bit to get there. Staff was super attentive, beer was great, atmosphere was awesome. Plenty of parking. Awesome music over the speakers. Check it out. read more

Cool atmosphere, odd location. Very hot inside building. Outdoor space as well. Beers were very well-made, just not a great selection. Has a lot of potential! read more
