I was taking the scenic route from Harrisburg to Philadelphia and needed to grab some lunch so I made sure to time my arrival to the Brass Rail with lunchtime. Small little shop located in the same building as their distributor shop. a few coolers line the back wall and the left of the shop is lined with warm shelving for singles. A decent selection of Belgians, German, British beers as well as a nice selection of American brews. Six taps that you can get as samples, pints, or growlers. They have some odd pricing listed on the growlers (a buck extra for "guest" growlers, a buck more for non-translucent growlers) but the lady that rang up my guest growler didn’t charge me that buck so I’m not sure why they list those things. Anyhow, I snagged a mixed six pack (25% off when you get a mixed six- solid deal) and a growler of Springhouse Big Gruesome. Very friendly ladies working behind the counter. I got there shortly after 11 on a Thursday and it was rather empty, but by the time I left it was really filling up with the lunch crowd. My sandwich was sub-par. I would not eat here again. Had the Chicken Parm and nothing about it was really worth getting again. I would recommend this place as a place to get a sixer or a growler, though. Also a nice place to have a quiet pint with a buddy or two. Overall a real nice place.

Moving recently from the Philly area i realized how spoiled with craft beer selection I had been. After a few months in the Harrisburg area, I finally found out about the Brass Rail Deli. They have a decent, yet not large selection of domestic and foreign singles available. My favorite is the six rotating taps. You can purchase growlers, pints and/or samples. The coolest part is that Sisco promises not to repeat a beer within a year. So the variety stays fresh.

Great for a mix and match 6 pack if you feel like rating some brews!

What a great little place. Sisco is a good guy and the selection of beer is very good, even tho most of it is a tad over priced...You can always buy a mix 6 pack and get the 25% discount but sometimes you don’t want that much and the prices get to you. They have 6 taps of high quality beer flowing at all times with the prices for a Sample, Pint, and Growler clearly marked on the wall board. The food is pretty good but some of my sandwiches have been a bit lackluster. Service is also very good and very knowledgeable. Overall it is one of the better bottle shops in the area. Worth a visit for sure.

Great food. The best wings anywhere. The draft beer offerings change on a rather frequent schedule. Cisco and his employees are top notch. Lots of bottle beer to choose from but my only complaint is, it doesn’t change much and they seldom have the hard to find beers which I am always seeking.

The Brass Rail Deli is where it is at if you would like a large selection of bottles. Always 6 beers on tap that are constantly rotating. 25% off singles when buying 6 or more.

A great place to go if you want to try several different singles; as they let you buy single bottles and offer a discount if you buy 6. They have a nice selection of imported beers that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I’ve never bought beers on tap there, but a buddy of mine says they have a nitrogen tap system that I’d like to try sometime.....

Another find for beer and a real great selection at that! Some great craft beer on tap as well. Food was good, friendly service, clean and quiet. Many import and craft beers to chose from however prices are high. Nice to have another place to find some extraordinary stuff.

Beer adventure with AFI96 !!! The Brass Rail has a very nice selection of beers from around the world. Some of the staff is Friendly. clean atmosphere, average deli food and very bad tv programming......... lol. Some of the prices are high on the one’s that are hard to find.

This place is an excellent addition to the local beer scene. The have an excellent selection of bottles, some of which are not easy to come by, and six rotating craft taps. Cisco, the owner, was very friendly and knowledgeable about craft beer. Food is standard deli fare though it is an interesting take on the bottle shop/restaurant combo. Most other places serve only greasy subs while all the ingredients used here are fresh and at least semi-healthy. The fries were very good. Also worth noting is that it is very clean compared to other bottle shops in the area. The only downside is that the prices are relatively high.
