Beer gardens are cherished, seasonal rendezvous points for friends and communities to gather, relax, and enjoy some fresh brews, writes Leigh Green for PA Eats. 

One of Pennsylvania’s best beer gardens is right here in Montgomery County. 

Iron Gate Biergarten, set in an alley in downtown Pottstown, offers superb industrial appeal. It is open from March through November and also has pop-ups in between. 

Its beer and spirits list is Pennsylvania-sourced and includes selections such as ‘Merican Mule, Frecon Ciders, Troegs Independent Brewing, and Yuengling. 

The beer garden also offers rotating free food delivery through partnerships with local restaurants and hosts various festivities, including live music, trivia nights, car shows, and much more. 

As a bonus, Iron Gate Biergarten is dog-friendly.
