A new venture in an old location is bringing Harrisburg a round of cold, refreshing brews.
Vegetarian dishes have been served at The Vegetable Hunter, formerly known as Crave and Co., since 2014, but in March, a new item hit the menu. The restaurant’s new boutique brewery is focusing on small-batch, handmade beers that range from robust brews such as the toasted coconut porter to lighter options including the recently released Sole Hopping: Loral.
Head brewer Derek Markel is offering out-of-the-box beers like Punk Rock Girl Remix, a hibiscus saison; 2nd Street Haze, a Northeast-style double IPA; Geiger’s Punch Pale Ale, an American pale ale with Citra, Mosaic and Centennial hops; and Apple Squasher, an imperial saison made in collaboration with Mad Chef Craft Brewing.
While stopping in for a beer or two, be sure to order vegetarian bites from the restaurant, which is known for its healthy and delicious veggie-laden menu. Dishes include vegan taco bowls, kale and mushroom tacos and tempeh reuben sandwiches, to name a few.
In addition to its regular hours, The Vegetable Hunter recently changed its weekend hours to stay open until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
