My first time in New Hope so I wanted to try a new beer joint. I thought this place was interesting enough since they are locally grown and brewed craft beer. We opt for the flights and the taste is not my fav. I've tasted many IPAs in my life but maybe my tastebuds didn't appreciate the "organic" brewed taste. Price: reasonable Ambiance: nice outdoor seatings Service: AWESOME. The owner was extremely accommodating by allowing me to use his phone charger and was attentive to us.

If you like a good view, to people watch, and beer...this is your bliss. Bartender was sweet and welcoming:)

We love stopping at Great Barn Taproom any time we are in New Hope! It is a great farm microbrewery sitting right by the Delaware River bank; relaxing, great beer and views! We have been here a few times and have seen a few favorable changes with time... They have added sausages, pretzels and other light fares to accompany their beer selections. They have also added a few tables that almost reach the water... Among my favorites, (dark), I enjoy their peanut butter/chocolate beer! Yummy! I also enjoy their Trailer Juice milk stout! Winner! Overall, a great spot to stop by either before or after dinner in NH!

I attended a private holiday party at this location, thought it had its charm next to Nektar this bar backs Into a smaller stream with outside seating and smoking area. We catered the food to the event and brought servers for the party. Cool venue to host a private party

Hey hey Adventurers! This place is awesome ! The gentlemen behind the bar were friendly, helpful and entertaining! Though I think I was just so excited to be there half the jokes went over my head haha. The place is down an alley way and has 3 different entrances since it takes up the entire basement of the establishment. Very open spacious bar area; they don't serve food just snacks. However this is a great place to stop before actually grabbing dinner---which is exactly what we did. There are flights of 4 beers for $9 ! You have 8 flavors to choose from. My friend and I chose the 4 we liked and sorta just shared the tastings. I really enjoyed the stout and the one that tasted like grapefruit. Trust me they have a beer for everyone! Outside is a small spaced out seating area; dog friendly (outside) and about 5 tables that seat 4 each. You have a view of the canal and twinkle lights to the right from other restaurants. Again we had stopped by here before moseying over to Nektar. We have a very pleasant experience here with superb quality overall. Will definitely be back again!

I stumbled upon a micro/ brewery in New Hope after going into a 70's store. It's right next to it. It's not a big place but it is cozy with a country feel. Lots of woods and interesting collections on the wall. When I walked in I saw a mannequin all dressed up in a revolutionary style costume and wig. There was funny paintings on the wall too. They had a 3 piece band playing which was ok, but that's not why we came. Known as the first farm brewery in Bucks County, Great Barn is the brainchild of married couple Maryana and Steve Ferguson. A lot of the artwork and paintings were done by Maryana.. The bartenders were very helpful in guiding me through their selections of beers. I decided to try their Lemon Basil Saison Beer. It was really good and I throughly enjoyed it. The combination of lemon and basil gave this beer a great taste and it was very refreshing. My friend tried their sampler of 4 different beers of his choice which he really enjoyed. All the beers are either 16oz ,and up unless you pick the samplers. They even have growlers you can purchase. All the malted beers are brewed locally in Bucks County on a 40 acre farm just north of Doylestown. You will not see the beer brewed at this location. These beers come from the creative mind of Christopher Bowen, an award winning brewer who is officially recognized as a beer historian. Their philosophy is Farm to Glass Essence. Going back to the land and honoring the ingredients that naturally grow in abundance. They don't serve food, but I was told this is a BYOF ( bring in your own food) They have a nice outdoor patio for relaxing which is located across the street from the Delaware River that runs through the city. While sitting outside you can see this and the top of the bridge. What's unique is there are two different entrances depending which side of the building your on. I sat on their very comfortable and cozy brown leather couch. I felt like I was in someone's home with a bar. One of the bartenders even came over to me to hand me a sample of a beer I wanted to try. I thought that was very sweet. If your looking for something a bit different, and like the idea of everything locally sourced then this is your place to try. I will definitely be returning.

Great selection and tasting beers. Farm to bar! The dunkle was great along with the stouts and pilsners and cherry pie cider (7% ).

Located next to Nektar restaurant this brewery has been open since August according to the barkeep. Place seems to do good business on Saturday afternoons. The beers offered are very good. Flights are $9 for a choice of four. They had eight to choose from on our visit. I only had four, and all were good. We were told the actual brewery is located in Kintnersville, about 20 miles North of New Hope. Outside seating is available, weather permitting.

Amazing all around! Great variety! Quick efficient service. Friendly knowledgeable bartenders. Beautiful view outside with a nice outdoor area.

Let me start by saying we drink a lot of beer and could do a brewery good! Made the trip to New Hope just to try this place and walked in totally ready to relax and enjoy. And spend some money. And come back multiple times. Alas... The beer was decent and decor nice, but the positives stop there. The "barn to table" antipasto platter was pre-made, packed in plastic and self serve from the cooler...for $16...lost points, sorry. The worst part was the awful...AWFUL...bartender. My husband ordered the nitro, and after the bartender set it down in front of us, it settled quickly to just over half the pint glass. We hoped he would notice and offer to top it off, but he was too busy on his cell phone around the corner from where we were to notice. Hubby drank the half pint and would have ordered another...but the bartender was still on his phone around the corner. I enjoyed the four beers in my flight and would have ordered a pint of the hazy ipa...but the bartender was still on his phone around the corner. We got up, paid, and walked down the street to another brewery...where we had food and three more pints. I'm no mastermind, but if someone is trying to maintain a small brewery and compete with the big boys, they could do more to secure beer drinkers' business.

We decided to visit New Hope on a whim during a beautiful May weekend. We've always known that…read morethere's a charm to this town and it really wasn't too far from where we are, so it was an easy afternoon trip for us. The one thing we knew about New Hope is their train. My fiancée enjoys these trains from growing up, so this was something up her and her brother's alley for the day. We were a little lucky in some ways that the crowds weren't as large when we took the afternoon train. I guess there was a parade going on during the day that suppressed the train crowds. But it wasn't too bad. We just took the standard 45 minute train ride. It doesn't go deep outside New Hope, but it's a nice and serene ride of sorts. Nothing too crazy or special. Yes, it's slightly overpriced, but there's still a little charm to being on this old school train. Note that we didn't bother getting any food or drinks, so I can't review that part.

People really need to lighten the F up! I say that based on most of the reviews. If you feel it's…read moretoo expensive, don't go! The price is the price. It's not like they hide it and then spring it on you. Yes it's difficult to understand what's being said through the speakers. They need to address that. But the employees who walk through the cars answering questions make up for it. Very pleasant and knowledgeable. The ride through parts of New Hope was a delight. I had a cousin visiting from the West coast who is, "in to trains" like Sheldon Cooper! He was absolutely thrilled. We all loved how the people in the houses along the way waved to us. If you enjoy vintage trains and a nice ride it's great. The children that were on board all seemed to be having a great time. Next time my cousin visits he already requested that we return. We will!

This tasting tour was great, although there were some pros and cons. We did the combo tour so we…read morewent to a winery, distillery, and a brewery. The pros: Our tour guide/bus driver, Don, was excellent. He seriously made the whole trip. He was so kind and helpful and fun loving, he was a great match for our group. The wine tour was excellent we had an extensive tour of the grounds and they make their wine. It was the best tour we got the whole trip. The brewery had corn hole which made a great activity as our day was winding down. The pub lunch was great and had choices for everyone. Cons: Definitely overpriced for "tasting tours" when out of the three places when we only got one real "tour". Pretty disappointed and we all wished we got actual tours of the distillery and brewery since that is what we paid for. We didn't get to stay at the winery very long or hang out before we had to leave-- we thought this was the best location out of all three.

It was time to celebrate a birthday in our group and we had some ideas; however, our first issue…read morewas transportation. Tastings and Tours has a well rounded program. We were able to take the train from Center City to Doylestown. At Doylestown, their driver - Linda (actually the founder) was there to greet us. Leading up to the planning of this event, we worked with Linda and had a very good experience. She knew the area, suggested eateries and talked about the country side. All this just added what I call "free extras" to the already low price. Plus there are shopping baskets, bottles of water, and storage cases for new wine while on your journey. This is a well thought out operation. We had a group of 5. Our biggest concern is who we would sit with on the bus; however, after the first stop everyone was loosened up (the first stop allows you to pour or own samples!) and the conversations just started rolling out. We had a great time and thanks to Linda for making it work out.
