Craft Ale House is located right on Ridge Pike in Limerick, PA – about 30-40 minutes outside of Philadelphia. The building is a modestly sized establishment with an occupancy around one-hundred people. The layout is split, with the bar on one half and the dining area on the other half. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the lighting. It is dim and very relaxing, but not too dark.

The wait staff is always courteous and are willing to give their recommendations on the food and beer. The place is clean, has a modern appeal and will house about fifteen microbrews on tap. The normal draft list has a solid variety, usually consisting of a few stouts, pale ales, seasonals and a whit. The beer is moderately priced and can range from $3.00 for a 10 oz pint to $7.50 for a 16oz. If you stop by on the weekend, they normally have live entertainment, also.

The focus of Craft Ale house are the microbrews. They always have something new and adventurous on tap to try.  If you have questions or need to sample before you gather the full indulgence of one of the fine brews, the staff are more than happy to oblige. One of the nice things about Craft is that if they run out of one of their taps, they usually replace it with a similar style. This gives you the opportunity to try the same general style, should they run out.

The food at Craft is reasonably priced and exceptionally good. I’ve personally tried a multitude of items off the menu and have yet to be disappointed. They have everything you’d expect from a small pub but have they best chicken tenders I’ve tried, in my opinion. Normally, my order consists of the chicken tenders based in their delicious honey-chipotle sauce coupled with one of their microbrews.

If you make the trip to Craft Ale House you won’t be disappointed. The food, staff, and most importantly the beer, is amazing!
