Grand Opening: Von C Brewing June 5th (Norristown)

Join us in congratulating Von C Brewing Company who will officially open to the public on Saturday, June 5th, 2021 at 12:00 noon. The Montgomery County brewery will be located at 1210 Stanbridge Street in Norristown.

Von C Brewing is founded on a family tradition. Brothers Rick, Eric, and Jay von Czoernig are sixth-generation brewers, dating back to 1860 when their great, great, great grandfather Christian Schmidt founded Schmidt’s Brewery in Philadelphia. Their father, uncles, and grandfather, and so on, were all Master Brewers.

Their grandfather was named president of Schmidt’s in 1958 and lead the brewery through its most productive years. The family history also includes the operation of the former Valley Forge Brewery of Norristown, which Schmidt’s purchased in the 1950s. The new von C Brewing facility is about one mile from where that brewery was located. It is on this family foundation, that the brothers will look to continue the brewing tradition.

“We will have many styles of beer for our patrons’ to enjoy. Our “core” beers will be based on our German family heritage including Helles, Vienna Lager, and Pilsner as well as American West Coast and East Coast styles of IPAs. We will also have rotating taps including Pale Ales, Session IPAs, and a Lo-Cal IPA along with many seasonal brews including a Marzen-style Octoberfest, and a traditional Porter. We have a small pilot system to experiment with small-batch releases too” the brewery told us regarding what guests can enjoy.

“The building was built in 1908 and used to be a manufacturer of knitting machines for the garment industry. At one time, it was one of the largest employers of Norristown. The brewery is approximately 16,000 sq. ft. and will house our 20 BBL brewhouse and cellaring tanks. The tasting room is about 2,500 sq. ft. and we are not changing much inside. It has a rustic industrial vibe, with very high, open ceilings, and provides a great view of the brewhouse” the brewery went on to say.
