Chimney’s Big Move

Popular Hammonton brewery Chimney Rustic Ales announced Friday evening that they'll be closing their Hammonton location sometime in June, opening a new Philadelphia location.

First, Vinyl Brewing made way for Snouts and Stouts, and now Chimney Rustic Ales is closing its Hammonton location at 15 Horton Street.

A Favorite Hammonton Spot

I have been to Chimney a few times, and as an IPA fan, I have tried their Ironworks beer. I like the small, cozy feel of their Hammonton location, featuring a small bear in the back corner, and an open seating area when you first walk into the brewery. During the warmer months, there is some outside seating available. Chimney has been a staple in Hammonton, known for its cozy atmosphere and standout beers, which have a strong following. It’s always tough to say goodbye to a local favorite.

What’s Next for Chimney in Philly?

Chimney Rustic Ales made the announcement via their social media on Friday evening, stating that they will be opening a new spot in Philadelphia, with no opening date set.

"We're moving Chimney to Philly, we're going to close Hammonton sometime in June. I don't know when we're going to open Philly yet, we're at the mercy of the construction Gods.

Check out Chimney's announcement from Daniel Borrelli, owner of Chimney.

Back in March, in a social media video, the brewery started teasing a move to Philadelphia, but didn't provide a lot of clarity on the future of the Hammonton location.

Big news! I'm sure you have a ton of questions. We do too, there is a lot of uncertainty building a brewery. We'll do our best to update everyone as we go. Timeline? Yes, that is a question. Current location? That is also a question. We'll answer these and more in the coming weeks. Drop some questions in the comments and we'll do our best to answer them. Excited for the future! Cheers!

From their social media post back in March, it appears Chimney has a location, which had not been announced, in Philadelphia.

I’ll miss the Hammonton brewery triangle of 3 Three’s, Snouts and Stouts, and Chimney, but I’m definitely looking forward to visiting their new Philadelphia location once it opens! For those eager to follow Chimney’s journey to Philadelphia, be sure to follow their social media accounts for more updates as the opening date gets closer!
