Me and my father took a relatively spontaneous trip down to the state Capitol that, in my book, has a fighting chance to be Pennsylvania's beer capitol.
Calm down, Philly... I'm just joking.
Feeling a little hungry, we decided that the Appalachian Brewing Company would be a great place to start with some lunch and brew. We enjoyed a pint of Jolly Scot Scottish Ale while the busy brewpub worked on retrieving the necessary resources to construct us a sampler tray. We got some awesomely crafted meals from and then got our sampler. It included the Purist Pale Ale, Mountain Lager, Water Gap Wheat, Jolly Scot Scottish Ale [It tasted familiar...], Pennypacker Porter [in lieu of a Susquehanna Stout shortage], Grinnin' Grizzly Spiced Ale, Trail Blaze Organic Brown Ale, and Hoppy Trails IPA. All in all, we walked out with a couple of glasses per guy and a vanished appetite for a very reasonable price.
A st
one's throw away, we made the minute-long treck to Tröegs Brewing Company. It was the first time I've been there since they've remodeled their modest giftshop into a massive bar. They've also included the convenience of shopping for 22 ounce bombers, 6 packs, and 12 pack varieties into their already growler, case, and keg sales. Not to mention the fact that they are not able to serve pints and sampler trays for very fair prices.
I got a 6 beer sampler tray of their flagship brews and the Scratch #10- a beautiful Belgian-style Triple.
They have displayed their abundance of fan-submited bottlecap artwork for conversation pieces as well as some windows that show the brewery in action. During my visit, they were currently brewing the Dreamweaver Wheat Ale.I wholeheartedly recommend a trip to the area and I look forward to sharing my beer adventures to other worthy beer communities.
