Belgium Comes to West Chester @ Iron Hill 1/26

“This is a great event that brings together many top breweries to celebrate Belgian-style beers,” says Larry Horwitz, who will be joined by fellow Iron Hill brewers in bringing their finest Belgian-style beers to the event. Iron Hill selections will include:
