curiouskitkatt Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I will admit that I do not know a great deal about beers, but one thing is for sure, Pennsylvania is the place where the rise of craft brews has been growing at an exponential pace in the last 20 years. I will enlist the help of social media , experts and owners to chime in on where they see the future of craft brews heading. I will start here in York, Pa and follow the beer trail throughout the greater part of the Keystone State. I've heard of people planning their vacations around specific places to eat, so my hopes this topic will inspire travelers to plan their next "beercation" in Pa. I have lost count of how many times I have gone out to a brewery and have been overwhelmed of all of the choices. From lagers, to ales, to sours to meades, where do I even begin? I hope this segment draws the interest of several of you to chime in, and expand both my knowledge as well help out other novices out there. My intent is to to enhance one's drinking and dining experience. The more we all know, and become comfortable in ordering what we want , the better the overall approach to beer. Of course, I am directly speaking to those out there like myself, but I am sure the experts could always pick up a thing or two. --- Beer and wine index I can't forget to direct everyone to the content that has been curated to date on this forum. My topic will mainly focus on PA breweries, but there could be a lot learned from the wealth of information already posted in our index --- I asked on Facebook where to start, and in nearly two clicks I had a response that lead me to the Brewers of Pennsylvania There is a wealth of resources here starting with a map of breweries, to a digital trail map as well as numerous other features.

Count Bobulescu Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Apols for putting spirits in a beer thread but didn't think this merited its own thread. The week after the Philly Beer Fest, the MD craft distilleries are showing down in the Pax River Naval Air Museum. Maybe two birds one stone with that? I believe they will have a 2nd tasting later in the spring in Frederick or close by. Upcoming Events by Maryland Spirits Guild 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officers are camped at specific points all throughout the city of Lancaster on the weekend. I usually plan on crashing a friend's house or take advantage of ride share on either Uber or Lyft. Makes for an expensive evening bobbing in & out of several places, but not as pricey as getting a ticket or worse losing your DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
