Brewery · Palmyra, PA
Snitz Creek Brewery's Palmyra taphouse sits at 2701 Horseshoe Pike and is the newest of the brewery's three locations — serving house-brewed craft beer alongside brick-oven pizza and pub food in a casual setting that feels right at home in the Lebanon Valley.
Our take Palmyra is an easy 15-minute shot from the Hershey area along Route 422 or Route 322, which makes Snitz Creek a realistic stop before or after a day at the park.
Snitz Creek is a locally owned operation with roots in Lebanon and a track record long enough to have earned a real following in the region. The Palmyra location, which opened in late 2023, brought something new to the Horseshoe Pike corridor: a full taphouse with the brewery's own beers and a kitchen turning out homemade brick-oven pizzas. We like it because it's the kind of place you can settle into for a couple of hours — good beer, real food, and a room that doesn't feel like it was designed for Instagram. It's also a natural detour for anyone making the run between Hershey and the Lebanon Valley.
Snitz Creek started in Lebanon with a brewpub on the north side of downtown, and grew to include a second location at Fort Indiantown Gap in Annville before adding the Palmyra taphouse. The family-owned operation brews its own beers across the locations, and the Palmyra spot is the first to offer brick-oven pizza as a kitchen anchor. The name comes from Snitz Creek, which winds through Lebanon County — it's a distinctly local brand that hasn't tried to be anything else.
One detail we like pointing out: this building had a beer history before Snitz Creek arrived. It was the former Mt. Gretna Craft Brewery space, which sat dark for roughly eight months after that brewery closed in early 2023 — so when Snitz Creek reopened it in December 2023, it brought a corner of Palmyra back to life rather than building from scratch. The Snitz Creek brand itself goes back to 2007 in Lebanon, billed as the first brewery in Lebanon County in over fifty years, and you can watch that brewing happen here: the system sits right up front, visible from the entrance. Add live-edge wood tables and a coffeehouse next door, and it reads more neighborhood than nightlife.
These reflect the brewery's officially published Palmyra schedule, reconciled to the two-row grouping their site uses (Sunday runs with the weekday close, not the weekend one). Hours can change around events and holidays, so confirm on snitzcreekbrewery.com or call ahead before a special trip.

Snitz Creek Brewery is in Palmyra, PA. The map shows both pins — Snitz Creek Brewery and our shop in Grantville — so you can see exactly where it sits relative to us.
Snitz Creek brews on site, and the tap list rotates constantly — the beers below are a recent sample, not a fixed menu. The kitchen is the only Snitz Creek location with homemade brick-oven pizza. Check Untappd or snitzcreekbrewery.com for what's actually on tap and confirm current food offerings before you go.
Three: the original brewpub in downtown Lebanon, a location at Fort Indiantown Gap in Annville, and the Palmyra taphouse on the Horseshoe Pike. Each has its own character; Palmyra is the only one with brick-oven pizza.
Yes — the Palmyra location has a full kitchen with brick-oven pizzas, sandwiches, and more. It's a proper meal stop, not just a tasting room.
Their tap list rotates and spans a range of styles. Past highlights have included a fudge stout and a lemon meringue ale, but the current list changes — check Untappd or their website for what's on tap when you visit.
Most guests walk in without a reservation, but the Palmyra taphouse does take reservations through Resy — worth booking for a larger group or a weekend evening. They also run a daily happy hour. Call 717-838-8705 or check their site to confirm reservation availability and happy hour details before you head over.
Trivia runs twice a month, not weekly — the 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 6:30 PM, hosted by CNP Trivia (Cheaters Never Prosper). It's a low-key weeknight option if your visit lines up. Schedules shift, so confirm the current calendar on their site before counting on it.
Snitz Creek sits right in Palmyra, so it's easy to build a whole evening around it without much driving. A few neighbors that pair well:
Same-town warm-weather dessert stop — an easy add-on after pizza and a pint to round out a family visit.
Also in Palmyra; a natural pairing for a rainy-day outing that mixes food, beer, and a few games.
If the brewery wait runs long or the group wants a sit-down Italian alternative, it's a short hop away in the same town.
