USA, PA: Cinema Brewing holds ribbon-cutting ceremony in Souderton

Cinema Brewing celebrated its grand opening Thursday, Jan. 18 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the North Penn Now reported.

Tucked inside Souderton’s Broad Theater, the brewery drew dozens of community members, employees and elected officials for the occasion. Manager Tanya Horst thanked everyone for attending and wished the brewery "a bright future.”

"Let’s remember that this is more than just a ceremonial snip,” she said. "It’s a promise to brewing moments of joy, crafting memories, serving not just beer but experiences that bring us together.”

"We are so happy to have you here in town, and we look forward to spending many nights in your brewery,” added Kylie Harrington, Souderton Connects board member.

The brewery is owned by Broad Theater owners Kevin Hoff and Charlie Crown, who described the amenity as one of their "original goals” to distinguish themselves from other theaters.

"What’s better than beer and a movie?” asked Hoff.

The space was initially rented by Free Will Brewing but closed after a year. Hoff and Crown then decided to open a brewery themselves.

"So we went through the whole approval process and got our brewery license,” said Hoff.

The menu includes a selection of eight beers as well as wine, canned hard cider and pre-mixed and canned cocktails, all originating in Pennsylvania.

"We have a lot of product and a lot of options we can offer people,” said Hoff.

Since opening in mid-December, the brewery has had "steady business,” said Hoff. He noted that patrons can enjoy beer both during and after their movie screenings.

"A lot of times you go to a movie theater, you see the movie and you just head right out the door,” said Hoff. "But it’s still a little early in the night, you still have a babysitter, you might not want to go home yet, so having the bar is a hangout option.”

Crown added that the brewery dovetails nicely with the neighboring Broad Street Italian Cuisine & Pizzeria.

"You can come here, go to a show, go other there and have dinner or vice versa,” said Crown.

Moving forward, Hoff and Crown hope to host activity nights in the theater lobby, including open mic night, trivia night, karaoke night, board game night and more.

"We’re the best independent theater in the area,” said Hoff.
