Runaway Train Brewery | Craft Beer & Local History in Honesdale

Runaway Train Brewery in Honesdale is where local history and handcrafted beer come together in one unforgettable NEPA craft brewery experience. Located on Chapel Street inside the former Irving Cliff Brewery, this brewpub honors Honesdale’s roots as both the birthplace of the American Railroad and a once-bustling center for early American brewing. Runaway Train continues that legacy with fresh, small-batch beers brewed on site and a food menu made for pairing.

Visitors can relax in the cozy taproom while sampling small-batch brews like Wet Your Whistle, a crisp pub ale, or Day Tripper, a hazy American IPA with bold character. Whether you’re grabbing a growler for beer to go, planning a casual Honesdale date night, or kicking off a beer tasting train ride on the Stourbridge Line, Runaway Train Brewery delivers a fresh, flavorful experience worth sharing.

Menu Highlights

Classic pub fare meets brewery creativity on the menu. Start with the warm sourdough pretzel paired with house-made beer cheese, a perfect match for any brew. Then dig into satisfying entrées like the Beer Battered Fish and Chips or the fan-favorite Cuban Sandwich layered with pork, ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard on pressed bread.

Runaway Train Brewery captures the spirit of Honesdale’s history while offering fresh, flavorful brews and hearty fare in a relaxed setting.
