A couple weeks ago, Tim and I took a trip over to Harrisburg, PA to check out what was brewing. First stop – Tröegs Brewing Company! If you’ve never had any beers from Tröegs, get your hands on some HopBack, a boldly hoppy amber ale. Better yet, if it’s in season, you’ve got to try [...]

This month’s Session topic (hosted by Red, White, and Brew) is “Think/Drink Globally”: I pose everyone writes about the farthest brewery (including brewpubs) you have visited and specifically the best beer you had there. Well, it just so happens that we traveled out to Colorado this past October for the Great American Beer Festival. We [...]

The main restaurant in The Desmond is called the Hunt Room, which is where we had dinner on Saturday night. This place has phenomenal food. Executive Chef Tom Macrina [...]

The final “Meet the Brewer” event we attended during Philly Beer Week was on Saturday at Iron Hill Brewery in Phoenixville. Iron Hill currently has seven locations, with more on the way. Tim and I were first introduced to this brewery at the original Iron Hill in Newark, DE. It’s located right on Main Street [...]
