LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A locally owned brewery recently unveiled its new German-style beer pub in Lancaster County.
The new BierHall Brewing (pronounced ‘Beer Hall’) is owned and operated by two brothers named Jim and Chris Rommel, who were both born and raised in Lancaster County, PA.
Jim says that about a decade ago, his brother Chris received brewing training in Germany and has since continued to hone his craft back here in the States. Together, the brothers’ new BierHall Brewing location in Lancaster offers a wide variety of German-style brews, such as Ale’s, Stouts, Lagers, and more!

In addition to their personally brewed beers, the new BierHall Brewing also features a full food menu for guests to enjoy as well.
“We serve a mix of German-American bar food, like our schnitzel and potato pancakes, which we make in-house,” Jim added.
BierHall Brewing officially opened on Saturday, November 18, at their inaugural location at 1703 New Holland Pike. Jim says that the new site showcases a 10-barrel brewing system, as well as a 2,700-square-foot dining area that can hold approximately 150 guests at once.
The interior of the establishment also features big, German-made beer hall tables that Jim believes help create a “German feel” inside the newly remodeled space, in addition to fostering a communal atmosphere for its visitors.
The current operating hours of BierHall Brewing are:
Mondays // 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Wednesdays – Fridays // 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Saturdays // 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Sundays // 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Jim indicates that in the future, he along with his brother, might contemplate extending their operating hours to include lunchtime service during weekdays.
“Opening BierHall Brewing feels unbelievable,” expressed Jim. “The journey here has been quite tumultuous. We spent almost two years just looking for suitable property.”

“Finding a location at home [in Lancaster] was a pleasant surprise. This market is absolutely perfect for this type of business! The bar is set high here, and we’re striving to surpass it,” he concluded.
Since their November 2023 grand opening, the Rommel brothers have created about 28 new jobs at their pub.
