Aldus Brewing

A great little brew pub in the heart of nowhere. The beers are better then the Warehouse and the food is good for the limited kitchen space.

I love this place. The beer is very solid for a new brewery, especially the wee heavy. It changes regularly but most of the time you can go in and they will be tapping one of their beers through a randle with a variety of ingredients.
I’ve only ever ordered the hummus here and it is good. I can’t speak to the other food choices, i.e. –the pizza.
The hours have changed and I believe they are now open later than 8pm.
I love the Wee heavy so much that when my wife and I bought a kegerator, we christened it with a slim of this beer. Outstanding.
One note, there are a couple of other breweries in the Hanover area. Aldus, by far, offers the best beer in my opinion.

Great Beer, Great Staff ! They have changed their food offerings and now have fresh baked pizza, pork sandwiches, hummus, all excellent. If you want a good beer in a friendly environment this is the place to visit. Only drawback is limited hours.

So I almost completely missed this place the first time I went, because it looks like it’s just another factory/​warehouse. Luckily, the parking lot was pretty full and that let me know that I was pretty close. It’s spacious place on the inside with plenty of seating at both the bar and some tables. I tried a tasting flight which was a small glass of each of the four beers that had on tap that night. It was $ 7.50, which is a bit pricey but the best way to try them all. I liked three of the four beers, although one was a bit light for my taste. The fourth beer was just way too dark. I think it was a double IPA, and just not up my alley. Aldus has some food from Boneyard BBQ, but it’s reheated when ordered and that makes it pretty bland compared to how awesome it is when it’s fresh.
Another downside is the fact they have to close at 8:00pm every night because they’re in a residential area. Otherwise, it’s not a bad little place and I’ll be going back for sure.

Great small town brewer, beers are very good and staff is very friendly ,
If your in the Hanover area try it, foosball table in the back would bring this Place alive !!

At first glance one might think it was just a factory at least that’s what happen Friday night. Inside it’s very spacious and the staff were friendly. The bar was packed so we ended up standing but I was told they had a few tables in the back. I got the tasting flight, 4 mini glasses of craft brews for $ 7 and change. I enjoyed two out of the four. The food was okay. I’m sure it would’ve been amazing BBQ if it were made fresh right there but it’s made in another location and just reheated when you order.
It’s in a residential area so they close early, at 8:00. But they have plenty of parking.

Hanover is starting to get a nice little craft brew scene going and Aldus is one of the places driving this renaissance. It’s a little off the beaten path and is primarily there to be a bar/​place to get growlers filled. Décor-​wise, the layout is a L shaped bar with an awesome oxidized copper top and backroom with a few tables. It is a warehouse type feel because it is pretty much an expanded tasting room off the actual brewing operations. They do feature some barbeque for sale and pretzels to snack on for free at the bar but the beer is the star of the show here.
Jason (owner) and Jeff (brewmaster) have a nice selection of beers and seem to always throw out something new on a weekly basis. Consistently on tap are their Blonde Ale and IPA each in 2 different ABV levels. Recently they have had a Wee Heavy Scotch Ale and Belgian Dubbel IPA. if you’re lucky enough to stop in at the right time, they may be running an infuser. If you see the Wee Heavy infused with coffee, take advantage and get a pint and maybe even a growler. I’m partial to the IPA at 7% and the Wee Heavy, but there has not been anything I’ve tried there that has been bad.
Last time I was there Jeff was nice enough to take whomever wanted on a tour of the brewing operations, which was a nice treat to see where the magic happens. All the staff there is super friendly and very enthusiastic about the product. Only downfall, and this is more attributed to stupid PA laws, is that they are only open until 8pm. Can’t wait to see what Aldus has in store for the beer lover next and have no doubt they will be successful on the strength of their product.
